Terrible English dubs of video games
#6
Last Alert on the PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx CD. Outside of the Mega Man 8 example and perhaps Chaos Wars, it makes the ones above sound like masterpieces. Guy Kazama sounds decent enough if iffy but it is the other characters. One sounds absolutely bored reading the lines from a script and when you get to the first boss to save Spartan you get this:

"The stealth bamber is at the back of the factory". It's the unfitting goofy voice and all you can really do is laugh. Strangely enough in the Japanese original it is opposite since there are plenty of known voice actors Guy Kazama was voiced by the same person as Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.

There are plenty of late 1980s-1990s games that fit the bill where they get whatever office staff that they can find to dub Japanese games into English. Just can't think of any others at the moment that are as bad.
