People call it N.E.S and Super Nintendo.

We called the NES "Nintendo" and the "SNES" Super Nintendo. But that was WAAAAYYY before texting/internet shorthand made it into verbal communication. Nobody said, "let's go play some NES" or, "lets play SNES". It was definately Nintendo and Super Nintendo. And after Super Ninteno was released, some people called the NES "Regular" Nintendo!

Well, I know that, I'm talking about currently.

People call it NES and for SNES they call it Super Nintendo.

I know, I just got fed up of typing the whole word out.


I guess you're right, some of the more common kanji would be used.

Since you were confusing Katakana with Kana and saying that Nintendo would´nt use Kanji for announcements or game titles, i was sure that you didn´t know nothing about japanese, so I explained that. But, if you have some question about japanese, ask me, I can help you! ^^

I dislike it.
It just doesn't have that sense on creativity Nintendo has.

True that, I don't know nothing about Japanese.
I never said game titles.
I said Nintendo wouldn't not use 'kana to announce something simple like "this will be available in Winter"
When am I confusing katakana with Kana? I'm shortening it since I'm pretty lazy.
Correct me if I'm wrong here:
hirigana, katakana, and kanji.
hira/kata dropped from the words = 'gana/kana as I said in an earlier post, if I'd known it'd be this much trouble to explain it, I'd have just spelled them out fully then.
I'm not 100% sure the differences between the gana and kana as above is, but I know the differences between those two and kanji.
g/kana's do be based on pronunciation right?
kanji is chinese (lol, don't get pedantic with me on this, i'm just over-generalising) symbols, each one representing a word.

I ask native speakers when I need help with Japanese, they are pretty slow to answer though.
Last time I had a question it took a week to get an answer.

It´s very funny how these fake news about Nintendo always have wrong japanese.

In this video, it appears "この冬来る´´ Which means something like "This winter comes" obvious, gramatically wrong. The correct form is "冬発売予定" Fuyu Hatsubai Yotei, or "scheduled for launching at Winter"

The previous fake zelda games also had wrong japanese with the アイスをプロフェシー　 and 火をプロフェシー , that should be アイスのプロフェシー and 火のプロフェシー.

And it would still be a strange name, specially using the fire with kanji but ice with katakana.

The other fake news about Wii U being renamed on the japanese page, everyone believed that without looking at the japanese official page. Not only it had not that title in english, but it was written Mario Party 9 in japanese.

Sorry for bad english!
Nollog :
Nintendo wouldn't use Kanji would they?
They'd use hiragana.
And I was under the impression from the several Japanese to English translators I've known that Japanese tenses are extremely tricky to convert to English.

Well, there are some other mistakes you made, and i was trying to make it clear. But take your time, i´m not attacking you, and the one being pedantic here it´s you. So, don´t blame me xD

...
I think you're misunderstanding the context of my statement.

You commented nintendo used bad japanese, and substituted some kanji
I said it's fake, but even if it was real they wouldn't really use kanji exclusively, so there's no reason to doubt it based on that.

I didn´t say Nintendo used bad japanese, a japanese company, specially Nintendo would never use wrong japanese. I said that people that make fake news about Nintendo know nothing about japanese, and they don´t even try harder to make it more trustable, even being fake.

[Nollog]

Well, they're just marketing students.
You can't expect them to learn some Japanese.

And I was speaking as in *if* it was nintendo, it obviously wasn't.

[Alph]

I hope this is fake! Nintendo U, yikes!
