    Translating The "Dead Rising 2" Trailer

    Last Friday, viral trailer from Capcom popped up online. Some believe it's the Dead Rising 2 trailer. By "some," we mean "all." Throughout, Japanese quickly flashes on the screen. What does it mean, though?

    Below is a list of the Japanese that briefly appears in the trailer along with English translations:
    1. 完治不可能 = incurable
    2. 抑制 = control/suppression
    3. 屍病 = literally, "corpse disease"
    4. 寄生虫症 = giardiasis (backpacker's diarrhea)*
    5. ゾンビ化 = turning into a zombie
    6. 感染 = infection

    Backpacker's diarrhea? Heh.

    *Update: A more accurate translation is simply "parasitic disease" as Giardiasis is a specific type of parasitic disease. Bummer!
