retarded western localizations, never heard that one before

Broken Thunder.

>Lightening
Damn they couldn't even spell it right eh?

>>11847207 (OP)
The weird thing is that Thunder Force doesn't even sound weird to westerners and Lightning Force wouldn't sound any better let alone Lightening Force. There was nothing to localize.

>>11847319
the other games probably didn't sell well, so they figured rebranding as a "new title" might do better than a sequel to an already not successful series

my random guess

>>11847319
I think Lightning Force sounds cooler but only if you spell it right.

>>11847331
it was a publisher thing
thunder force 4 was picked up by a different publisher

Speaking of TF4 here's what Mega magazine had to say about the music. It's nice to know they got jobs as 4chan writers now.

holy fuck how can one person be so wrong.

Seems like a Brit review, and yeah the British turned their backs on heavy metal once the US largely stole it in the 1980s, by the 90s Brits were all techno-bopping "hooligans" or whatever they call themselves trying their best to emulate American black/drug culture

TFIV is the best shmup of all time.

>>11847319
Yeah, it was so weird. They released Thunder Force III as Thunder Force III. They did the same for II also. What gives? Everyone already knew these games were great too, so why call it something else?

> Didn't their office have anybody who could fucking spell
They couldn't even spell their own name right lol, sometimes its Tecnosoft, other times it's Technosoft

i find it kinda shocking that apparently absolutely no one involved in making the game, at any level, knew how to spell the world "lightning". nvm the naming convention being nonsense. they literally out of their way to say "hey we should name this one lightning instead" a dumb enough idea in isolation and then never bothered to see if they could actually spell it
