「スパイvsスパイ」日本版ローカライズの由来は、1980年代にファミコン向けにケムコ(コトブキシステム)によって移植・発売された際に、「Spy vs Spy」の“vs”部分を「アンド」と読ませる独自のタイトル表記「スパイアンドスパイ」が使われたことにあります[1][2][3]。
この“アンド”呼称の理由は明確な公式説明が残っていませんが、主な要因としては
- 英語“vs.”(versus)が日本ではあまり馴染みがなく、分かりやすくするため“and(アンド)”と呼称した
- ローカライズ担当会社(ケムコ)がパッケージや広告、公式資料で“アンド”と記載したため定着した
といった“日本流の覚えやすいネーミング”から来ているとみられます[3][2]。
