really? I’ll have to listen, since you recommend it!

I’m hoping people think of additional "mispronounced games" to continue the list ^^

OK here’s a name of a NES game that probably a lot of you never heard of before.

Hi Brim!

Xevious

Suikoden

You say: Sooey-koden (believe it or not, I have heard people pronounce it like that)
Correct: Swee-koden

On an earlier one, I always thought that Ninja Gaiden was pronounced "guy-dan" (I blame The Wizard for that, though).

Wait, wait, people mispronounce ephemeral?

Not really a game, but I used to think Eidos was pronounced "E-Dose" until I spoke to one of the officers of the company at my work who told me it’s just like "iDos"

ActRaiser

Should be: "Act Rizer"

Lakitu

I love how you mentioned Faxanadu :love:

I surprisingly knew the correct pronounciation to most of those games, except for Suikoden & Disgaea which I still call "disgaya" :heh:

Actrizer?

that can’t be right

Crystalis! ^_^ (NES, Rpg)
– Umm… I say "kris tel is", my friend says "kris thal is".

Faussete Amour (PC Engine, Super CD)

Alias (PS2, Action)
– "Ale e as" or is it "A lie as"

—

I’m terrible with pronunciation. :/

Actrizer?

that can’t be right

my mistake..

アクトレイザー

i have absolutely no problem saying the names of the games correctly.
and shenmue, really, how can anyone mispronounce that when THE FUCKING GAME says it?
its like the neverending fight i have in the world at war pre-game lobbies when the next map is makin or makin day, i say "please guys, vote this map cuz i hate ma (as in MAma) kin (pronounced keen)", then this wiseass comes along and says "its (make)in, you dumbfuck"
how can i be wrong when roebuck himself says it IN THE FIRST FUCKING SENTENCE OF THE FIRST FUCKING VIDEO of the fucking campaign? its a japanase word you dumbfucks!
fuck damn it!

Okami (should be "Ookami")
You say: Oh-kah-mee
Should be: (O should be extended) – ka – mee

I still don’t know how people can keep getting this wrong. Someone even says the title at the opening screen.

Pisces Knight, chill!

He posted that two months ago. I’m sure he has by now.

lol

What happened to Pisces Knight? He was posting in GD for a while, wasn’t he?

Shenmue
You say: �Shen-moo-eh�
Should be: �Shen-moo� <— correct :lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETcJeJIqca4&feature=related)

Wait what? People mispronounce Shenmue?

He posted that two months ago. I’m sure he has by now.

Geez your really cutting down the necromancers today aren’t you

I left this open in the hopes that it might garner more activity in GG.

Yeah, I think weird thoughts like that :erm:

lol i like that smilie but I have never seen it before. Where has it been hiding? Anyways this isn’t a game but more of an extra

X-box’s new Motion sensor thing (not entirely sure what it is):

NATAL

My friends call it "Nay-tel"

but it is actually pronounced "Na-tal"

It’s pronounced Show-your-genitalia-to-Milo :notgood:

I always said "Not-all" the time Microsoft! 😡

"Sony" is pronounced Godhead, iirc.

And Playstation is pronounced "Mega-Awesome-Sex-God-Of-The-Console-World-Forever"…people seem to forget that

It’s so true :coolegg:

I like these smilies keep them coming

:billymays:

LOL, meh, maybe two months isn’t that long, but yes, I was on a necromancer killing spree, so just go with it 😉

I like these smilies keep them coming

: – D

I used to be told to stop "Jr. Modding," so I can’t really tell you not to do it, CC.

Keep on fighting the good fight, or something.

Ys
You say: “Wise, Yeez, Y.S., Yis”
Should be: “Ease”

Not quite true. It’s a hard S sound. Rhymes with "peace," not "peas."

Ehrgeiz
You say: “Ur-guys, Air geez”
Should be: “Air-guys”

Also not quite on the money. "Air-guyts." Would rhyme with "bear bites."

im flattered people asked for me, thank you.

reasons why i was absent:

1. again, i lost the name of the site, had to reboot pc so all my favorites went missing.
2. college is an ass
3. i had a job once, its gone now

Ninja Gaiden – I’ve heard it pronounced "Gay-Den" even though its pronounced "Guy-Den"! lol

I was actually able to pronounce those games that I haven’t heard of , correctly. I was shocked about Atelier Iris, I’ve always said it like A-tale-er Iris.

Okay, I was wondering where the stressed syllable goes to Dissidia. Is it pronounced 1. Di-SID-ia, or 2. DIS-i-DI-a?

i think you just need a mute S, anyway i say it DI ( DEE) SI (as in SIT) DIA (diaz, a spanish surname, like ricardo diaz, the guy in gta vice city)
