Due to the absurdity of the quote, many gamers believed it to be a mistranslation, a misspelling, or an actual error message. This has been proven false because Error has the same name in the original Japanese [[Family Computer Disk System]] release. However, a similar character, [[Bagu]], has a mistranslated name, as his original Japanese name transliterates to "bug". The reason many believe that Error's name was a mistake is because at the time, many games had incorrect spelling and translations, with ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' being a notable example. | Due to the absurdity of the quote, many gamers believed it to be a mistranslation, a misspelling, or an actual error message.

While Nintendo has not confirmed this, Error and Bagu's names are widely believed to have originated from an in-joke between developers. This means that their names would respectively refer to an error message and a software bug. Ironically, the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine stated in a feature that Bagu's name was mistranslated instead of Error's.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121223025146/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/44941/features/22-classic-gaming-mistakes/?page=2 Feature: 22 classic gaming mistakes - Official Nintendo Magazine] (Wayback Machine)</ref> | While Nintendo has not confirmed this, Error and Bagu's names are widely believed to have originated from an in-joke between developers.
