Iwata says "Sh!t" on Nintendo Japan website

NintendoDpad:
"With a company so involved with family friendly gaming, this comes as a complete shock. On the official Nintendo Japan website, when Iwata tells us what SDK means he slips alittle curse word in for good measure."

This is hilarious.

[zoneofenders]

in japanese:いま、太田さんが言ったＳＤＫというのは
「ソフトウェア・デベロップメント・キット」の略ですが、
どのようなものなのか、かんたんに説明してもらえますか。

there is no sh!t in it.
this article is a joke.i mean, google translator, seriously?

[Mini Mario]

God next they will have an article that mr iwata goes to the toilet too.

[badz149]

thanks for the original text and there is certainly no "sh!t" or what so ever in there! even if it's there, it will sounds like "google translator is sh!t"

[Product]

They say Japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn.....i guess this even applies to Google.

[LightofDarkness]

So? Cliffy B has probably said much worse in church, he's certainly said more than that in blogs and public appearances.

[BLuKhaos]

A grown man curses, how is this news?

[xwabbit]

Yah journalism has gotten really good.... when a person says $h!t and it becomes news...

[nintendohomie]

......no wayyy!

[avantgarde84]

Wayy!

Thats crazy, i wonder if that is the right translation...

[Narutone66]

in translation. The word should be crap ;)

[Mini Mario]

"Must have been...
...talking about the Wii's graphics, and the quality of 90% of the games."

Na i think he was talking about how the "graphically superior" ps3/360 is doing against the "inferior" wii

[YeOldeGamer]

...talking about the Wii's graphics, and the quality of 90% of the games.

[Fierce Musashi]

Don't kid yourself.

[KingKionic]

I think its a mishap in translation...

BUt further more thats very werid translation...lol

[Product]

exactly my thoughts lol

[FunkyBunch]

Maybe the article should be about how bad Google Translate sucks. The sentence in question translates to something like: Does this make sense [to you]?
There are no 'curse' words on the whole page.

[Kain81]

How can he......

[Product]

How is this allowed but we get friend codes? lol jk

[nintendohomie]

@above
rofl

[KingKionic]

Mario want be happy about this. The princess is probably crying.

:"(

[TruthbeTold]

Grown men say the word Sh!t from time to time... I doubt that Soccer moms or their young kids who happen to play the Wii will be reading about what Iwata said in a meeting with his employees unless someone puts it in their face. I doubt they even know who Iwata is. As for everyone else? I doubt they give a sh!t.

[nintendohomie]

Still what company have you ever heard of doing this?

[kai_h]

Translations from babelfish.yahoo.com and babylon.com respectively:

"Now, SDK which Ota said is abbreviation of the 'software development kit', but whether they are some kind of ones, the can it makes explain simply?"

Babelfish doesn't make much sense, but babylon.com translates it better, which fits the context of the original conversation.

"SDK which Ota said now It is abbreviation of [a software development kit], Will you easily explain it what kind of thing it is?"

[nintendohomie]

Thats sounds better. Man those peopel over at Google need to quit messing around.

Anyone ever put in directions from america to a country in Europe? Google used to say something about "walk across the atlantic".

[gumgum99]

lmao

[hatchimatchi]

yea its insane, a grown man saying the S word.

some people need to get a life

[jessehaysfl]

I think the phrase "Lost in Translation" applies in this case.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

NEWS ALERT NEWS ALERT!!! at GDC John Carmack farted next to Cliff Belinski and Cliffy said to John "WTF did you eat"?

[Mr Face Creamer]

He made Gears 2, he's also not a 60-year old virgin.

[N4g_null]

I believe they are all married, except for cliffyB. What is up with that picture?

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

thats relevant to my interest

[kewlkat007]

but is it that slow?

[gumgum99]

apparently so.

As bad as journalism today is, at least its pretty amusing while it lasts.

[gumgum99]

awwwwww...

I'm tellinnng...

[Reibooi]

This is retarded. Does Iwata-san even look like the type of person to ever even utter a sentence like that? No. He is a extremely professional well kept person and I doubt he would ever get caught swearing or cursing even in his personal life.

[wiizy]

that shouldnt have made news..

[dib8rman]

My, little baby's all grown up now. (rubs tear from eye)

They grow up so fast. V_V
