Didn’t realize this thread was here… Not far from our home in Tokyo is ToHo theater, where our favorite King of the monsters watches over Tokyo. I took this photo a while back, when Queen debuted. Godzilla is real size next to the skyscraper…ToHo Cinemas is the theater that Godzilla built. ゴジラ (gojira) Stern pinball: Godzilla is building that too! Fun times for ゴジラ fans!!
Quoted from kerokero:What I'm curious about is why the Japanese text on the building signs are written in reverse on the Pro backglass. Did the artwork get flipped at some point without adjusting the signs, or was it intentional? (left sign "pinball" and right sign "yeti")[quoted image]
Saw other images more clearly and it is backward mirrored for sure.
Yes, the sign on the right says Yetti in Katakana, but is reversed.
Quoted from Doctor6:Bro, anyone can read katakana. And those are reversed. The only one thats not is GO ZI RA. both pinball and yeti are blatantly mirrored. Look at the accent marks on both "hi" and "ha." They're on the left. Doesnt that seem weird to you? Since you can read Japanese?
And on the right, it says yeti... also mirrored.

Now granted, this is nitpicking as probably none of these games are going to Japan, but it definitly is an oversight from an artist that doesnt speak the language incorporation it into his artwork.
What if they released this as a topper?

These images are clearer, yes all reversed. Need magnifying glass on the tiny images earlier I suppose. Lol
Quoted from kerokero:Please look again more closely. It’s definitely flipped, not written sideways.
Should normally appear like this:[quoted image]
These images are clearer than what I glanced at in your first post (shouldn’t have been looking at a tiny phone screen blurred image). Yes, all reversed.
