10 Biggest Game Translation Cock-Ups Ever

8. Pro Wrestling (1987)

Console: NES Funniest quote: "A Winner Is You" In possibly the most famous instance of NES-era engrish, Pro Wrestling lets people know that they've won a match by displaying the message "A WINNER IS YOU". One of Nintendo's best non-Mario sports games, Pro Wrestling was an otherwise excellent port. However, no matter how great this pixelated wrestling game was, it will be forever remembered primarily for this specacular cock up. "A WINNER IS YOU" has since been referenced in dozens of video games, including Red Faction, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Kingdom of Loathing, and many of the Pokémon games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAPcwiUbWpc
