This section is completely devoted to covering Captain N and The Legend of Zelda around the globe. If it ain't American, it'll eventually be here,...I hope. I need contributions!


Spanish


Captain N: The Game Master and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show were shown on the Spanish Channel, Univision, in my area back in the early '90s. Sadly, I never sat down to watch any episodes of it. It would've made for a cool Spanish lesson! =)

Captain N was under the title "Capitan N y los Amos del Juego", which translates to something like "Captain N and the Game Master". Apparently, Captain N is not the Game Master! =) Yamil Atala was Kevin, Maria Fernanda Morales was Princess Lana, and Araceli de Leon was Kid Icarus.

Zelda was under the title "La Leyenda de Zelda", which is accurate. Jorge Roig Jr. was Link, Rocio Garcel was Princess Zelda, Herman Lopez was Ganon, Patricia Acevedo was Hadita (Spryte?), and Esteban Siller was King Harkinian.

Here's some sounds from the Spanish version of "HOW'S BAYOU":

Italian


In Italy, "Captain N: The Game Master" is known as "Un Videogioco per Kevin", meaning "A Videogame for Kevin". Their theme song actually has lyrics! I feel deprived!

Here are the Italian theme song lyrics and the English translation:

ITALIAN

Videogame, videogame, ci giochiamo tutti quanti,
tra gli sfidanti c'è chi vincerà.
Videogame, videogame, passatempo entusiasmante,
più emozionante con una novità.
E' davvero esilarante essere lì, dentro al gioco,
Dentro al gioco.
Se hai la stoffa del campione gioca un po' così, nel videogame,
Nel videogame!

Un videogioco per Kevin, davvero speciale, che vi allontana dalla realtà.
Un videogioco per Kevin, il più eccezionale, per far sognare chi ce la fa.

Bisogna stare ancora più attenti.
Tra mille insidie l'avventura vola e va.
E' un osso duro per i concorrenti.
Che videogame, videogame!

Un videogioco per Kevin, davvero speciale, che vi allontana dalla realtà.
Un videogioco per Kevin, il più eccezionale, e quest'avventura vola e va!

ENGLISH

Videogames, videogames, everybody plays them,
among the challengers there is the one who will win.
Videogames, videogames, exciting hobby,
more exciting with an innovation.
It is really exilarating to be there, inside the game,
Inside the game.
If you can be a champion play a bit like that, in the videogame,
In the videogame!

A videogame for Kevin, really special, that gets you away from the reality.
A videogame for Kevin, the most amazing, to make the winner dream.

You must be even more careful.
Among a thousand dangers the adventure flies away.
It's a hard work for the players.
What a videogame, videogame!

A videogame for Kevin, really special, that gets you away from the reality.
A videogame for Kevin, the most amazing, and this adventure flies away!

Here's an MP3 of the theme song!


Danish


The comic book stories appeared in a little Danish video game magazine called Nintendo Magasinet (Nintendo Magazine). The pictures were the same as in the American comics. Only the text was changed.

In order to make this section grow, I need contributions from people! I'd like anyone that has watched a non-American version of Captain N or Zelda or read a non-American version of the comic books to e-mail me about it! If you have any episodes on tape that differ from the American versions, and it has a different theme song, I'd especially like a WAVE file of it. If you can record one, please notify me ahead of time before you send it. Do you have foreign issues of the comic books? Scans of the front covers would be nice.
