We're proud to announce the winners of Destructoid's first annual TGS Engrish Awards. Judged by a panel of barely qualified cynical Dtoid panelists, the prestigious award is presented each year to the video game company who does the best job of bastardizing the English language. The grand prize goes to SNK-Playmore who's smash title KOF2: REGURATION A made us sheepishly giddy as we piled on top of each other with mocking fingers at the spokesperson, a feat of journalistic maturity few companies are qualified to issue. In addition to this amusing stereotype made real, we also snapped a few hilarious ones in and around the show. My personal favorite is an orange shirt worn by a Capcom press person. It almost reads like a haiku:
YELLOW CORN
SLEDGE HAMMER
MORE POWER
I'm not sure what that means, but the front of the shirt also says CHUTE! in big bold letters. Oh, how I love Japan. Special thanks to Hugo from WGWorld for spotting this gem.
The runner up goes to the vending machine located across Hall 5 which has a sublime description of its contents (and quite possibly, the meaning of life). Check out the gallery for some other things completely unrelated to playing unreleased and wacky video games in Japan. I do it all for the LULZ.

And only on the immaculate clusterfuck that is Destructoid would we see a post about Engrish at TGS, and that is why I love it so very much

FOUR EVAH!
Engrish is a party time favorite. I think that shirt belongs to some racing team, but I'm not going to link it to spoil the party.
Who the hell are they marketing it towards? Guilty Gear characters?
A. It's too easy
B. No one wants to be "that guy"
