Despite being a minor character, Error and his phrase "I am Error" are mentioned in several media outlets. Error was included in VideoGamer's list of "oddest character names in games", and GamesRadar+ included his "I am Error" line in a list of the 40 most repeated quotes. GameSpot mentioned the phrase in an article where they discussed poor translation in video games, and misinterpreted Error's name as a 'translation oddity'. IGN wrote a list of worst in-game quotes and added "I am Error" at number two. A Nintendo Life review for ''{{wp|Castlevania II: Simon's Quest}}'' also noted "an 'I AM ERROR'-esque script", likening the game's garbled translation to the phrase. | Despite being a minor character, Error and his phrase "I am Error" are mentioned in several media outlets.
