Game Localization - English and Japanese to Dutch
Jouw Games: "The translation in this game was done really well. I admittedly chuckled when the Lord of Games told me he brought me here instead of the local Dutch schlager festival. I'm glad Rare did more for Dutch gamers than simply translating the original English text." (Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts)
