Namshit?

[XYXZYZ]

I just happen to pass by an arcade game with the Bad Dudes attract mode playing. I glanced at it, and noticed "NAMSHIT" written on the wall. And I thought "Namshit"? .... wait, Namco? Namco = shit? Were Data East developers taking a shot at Namco? Is there a Namco game with DATA PISS written somewhere? Surely this is the most important discovery of 2011.

It may just be the good old "Japanese developer trying to emulate American culture" gibberish. Double Dragon anyone?

I don't have access to a pic (on my phone) but Vigilante has many hilarious things like this. You walk by a bar called "the pipi room". Always cracks me up.

Lots of beat em ups have stuff like this. Streets of Rage 2 has signs all over the baseball stadium that sassy "it's like boo." Wtf?

I don't know what the deal with "Nam****" is, but Data East's early Famicom games, including the JP Bad Dudes, Dragon Ninja, were published by Namco.

I love the engrish right above the tv there. Or the idea that you buy women's clothing at a place named 'Jack'!

I don't know what Namshit is either, but when I first saw the title, I thought it had something to do with items from Vietnam.

Hmm...

Swype failed me there. Last week it kept entering "fuck" whenever I entered "luck". God bless modern technology.
