The most mispronounced game names EVER [ClassicRadar]
21 titles you've been butchering for years
Yggdra Union
You say: Wige-dra, or nothing at all
Should be: Igg-dra
We could have sworn Yggdra was something other than a princess in this game, but after nine pages of google results we have to assume that it never existed in human language until 2006, certainly not in another language that might elude our basic internet searches. [Ed.: it's most likely a derivate of , the world-tree of Viking myth, whose name translates literally from Old Norse as "Frightful Horse".] As for the name i🌼tself, just pret🐲end its an I instead of a Y.
Astyanax
You say: Asta-nax, Astee-annex
Should be: Uh sty uh nacks
This rigid, plodding side-scroller stars a hero whose name comes༺ from Greek mythology (read more about that ) and, like so many other NES games on th🌠is list, completely stopped all 10 year olds in their tracks. We werent sure which of those three options was correct, but according to the Wikis use of the IPA (), uh STY uh nacks is the proper way to say it.
Wii
You say: Wee, but grandmothers and aunts say Wye, The W2
Should be: A cooler name than Wee, but its too late for that
Not much to say here. We all get it right away, we 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:we꧙re there t🍌he day the Revolution died and became the Wii. But millions (upon staggering millions) of Wii owners out there ask for it by the wrong name, somehow unable ꧙to pronounce the tꦯhing they simply have to own. Wed like to think that by this point Wee is a worldwide certainty, but theres probably still some uninformed parent wondering why his kid wants a tax form for Christmas.
Pokemon
You say: Poke man, Poke mans, Pookimun, Pokey men, Pockey mon
Should say: Po-kay-mon
Perhaps one of the most commonly mispronounced words in the w🌌hole of human existence, weve heard so many tragic variations of pocket monster that weve become unable to call them by their true name. After so many years of mangling, Poke mans is completely acceptable even in non-ironic situations. Pokemon: Let us show you how to pronounce them.
