new menu patch it in!!

THE SOUNDS XD

The Germany boar is such a vibe

so much charm!

If someone asked me if I have played this game I would say no… But I swear I remember seeing these hogs???

Sound up!

As a industry veteran with 10 years of experience in games localization, I can definitely say this is not just peak localization, it's the only way things should be done.

Oh my god, i remember this....

This feels like a game dev team that is allowed to have a bit of fun would make.

this is european excellence

These Gauls are crazy

At least one of those flags should feature a candy-eating animal.

The game doesn't seem to distinguish between the two lol

@sladeb.bsky.social

I'm Italian and I approve of my pig! Everybgame should be like this.

Completely typical for Asterix. Country stereotypes has to account for at least a third of the humor of that series's entire run. Saying this as someone who read the complete collection as a kid, to clarify

MY CHILDHOOD

Oh man the mental flashbang, i got the PC Demo disc for this in a cereal box and played it with my dad a bunch, thankyou for the reminder!

you know this is a french game because every other localization is vaguely weird and then the french option is "frog ass freak"

Me and my brother used to play this and would laugh for eternity for all of these :D

By Osiris and by Apis!

if it had the america flag instead of the english flag, would that hog thing be firing fireworks? forth of july?

Not the frog-hog for France 💀

This is anti-French discrimination

This is definitely the kind of option screen that I would imagine seeing in an Asterix game. Sense of humor and all.

And it's not even German.

I was 🐸 not prepared for that one.

omg GERMANY

omg the French one

For those who hate flags in language selection menus 👌

Well, more people do speak Portuguese in Angola than in Portugal

"For International, click here."

Es una referencia a la intro de Mr Bean, pero ahora entiendo de dónde caía él 😂

🤣

This is how things should be done: having fun. Like the German boar.

This game was awesome too

Maybe, it would still be funny today tho.

Par Toutatis!

😂

I didn't get the joke on the French one, could someone explain it pls?

La bataille de poissons

omg this game was my childhood!!

@chicxsinportico.bsky.social @carregha.bsky.social XD

Thank you for reminding me about this game! I've been trying to remind myself about the title some time ago

Certainly the German one could have been much more brutal let's leave it at that

Ah, well it’s not that far from the truth

We used to make games

The german one is very accurate, though. That's honestly how boars behave here.

I couldn't think of a single german who wouldn't think this abysmally hilarious!

This might change my mind on Asterix. Might.

Este jogo foi lançado aqui no Brasil oficialmente para o PC totalmente em Português, com o título "Astérix em uma Mega Confusão" e tem até animação para o Javali quando escolhemos o idioma Português 🇧🇷 e a localização do jogo foi portada do PC para o PS1 pela comunidade de RomHacking.

It is funny and all but using countries to select language will always be a terrible idea.

It is hilarious and incredibly accurate!

As an Italian I felt so insanely proud. The game could have been way more brutal to us.

I’m amused that so many people are wringing their hands over the French one. This is just how Europeans banter with each other, it’s fine.

Par Toutatis, ce garçon m'étonnera toujours

I remember the poor turkeys.

Absolutely love it! Fits the IP as well.

Difficult to light.

From a French pov ? Yes ! I mean it's a cliché, but it's a cliché we can identify (even empathize) with, putting it in line with the other bits. (to be fair I think the Italian one is also kinda naff, but I guess back in 2001 Pavarotti was The Big Italian Thing even in Italy ?)

Bah, si les anglais ont l'AUDACE de se moquer de n'importe qui à propos de la cuisine, là je saute par la fenêtre

While it's however very rare to us to eat frogs in modern days still; the only one time in my life where I ate legs's frogs was in a very fancy (and expensive) restaurant. It's not common at all.

i don't even think I've ever eaten a frog and I've lived in france my whole life

The only time I ever ate frog was at a French restaurant in Chiang Mai. Go figure.

Oh that's true, hadn't seen that one
