Japanese Games
Jan. 4th, 2008 07:39 pmI love Japanese video games, sometimes just because of the awesome names they have.
Like the SNES (pronounced "Snez" in Britain) Gourmet Sentai - Bara Yarou.
I have no idea what "Bara Yarou" means (if anyone can translate that, I would appreciate it. :) ), but "Sentai" is the japanese word for a military unit, but can be literally translated as "task force", "group" or "wing". Gourmet is the french word for someone with a sensitive and discriminating palate, who is knowledgeable in haute cuisine.
So essentially the title translates as "Good Food Squad"!
The game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up. When you kill an enemy it drops food. At the end of a stage a chef cooks you a meal using two of the food items that the player collected!
This is why I love Japanese games. XD
