I know there are SMT fans, so please forgive me:

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon.

Lots of colons.

Isn't the point there the fact that *defending* a dungeon is unconventional, you'll usually be attacking one?

Doing a search on GameFAQs for "Dungeon Defenders" brings up eight pages of results. (Granted one of them consists almost entirely of Dungeon Defenders mission packs, but still.)

[Brazil]

Bwah ha! What the fuck?

The weirdest thing about it is that the game is actually pretty cool.

[Ithil]

[Jucksalbe]

Eh to be fair, forceful parodies of tokusatsu genre tend to miss the point like that game. Sunred is still the only good tokusatsu parody.

Well, good for me then, I guess, that I never even heard of "tokusatsu".

This post plus your avatar had me chuckling.

[Jintor]

I love "Men of War: Assault Squad" which also surprised me by being a pretty great game, despite its title.

[NinjaBoiX]

Lame pun + bad boxart.

We may have a winner here. That's got to be the most XTREEM spelling, lyk evar!
*looks at own username*
Hmmm...

[dankir]

All of the Kingdom Hearts ones, The Final Fantasy fighters, etc.

Thought of another one: Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission

Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy/Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

[GravityMan]

Square Enix just tries way too hard when naming their games.

[louis89]

Kyojin no Doshin Kaihō Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishūgou. Which translates to "Doshin the Giant: Rescue from the Front by the Toddlers that Tinkle at the Large Meeting-hall" (Wiki translation). It's that screwed-up. And yet I love the music.

That is a horrible and wrong translation. Without knowing anything about the game, I'd translate it as

Doshin the Giant: Tinkling Toddler Liberation Front! Assemble!

Not that that's not weird or anything.

[MechaX]

Dissidia 012 Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy

Well, I think we're done here.

Someone post that Final Fantasy game name generator, too.

[The Hermit]

Revengeance.

[BY2K]

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

The name is actually longer than the game itself.

[ryan13ts]

Is that guy on the front cover pissing a stream of hearts? That's just lovely if so.

[SolidSnakex]

Lightning Bolt Action: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Lightning Bolt Action isn't part of the game title. That's just its genre. MGS games are referred to as Tactical Espionage Action.

[Ultimadrago]

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

A really stupid title.

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale A really stupid title.

It's not so bad compared to the ones Square Enix has come up with.

I do think that it should be Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale

or simply Playstation Battle Royale.

[Mileena]

My Little Sister Can't Possible Be This Cute is definitely the worst. Fucking Japan...

[Ultimadrago]

It's not so bad compared to the ones Square Enix has come up with. I do think that it should be Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale or simply Playstation Battle Royale.

Yeah, it's not, but just about any alternate name (like your Playstation Battle Royale) would've been better.

Heck, replace the words "Battle Royale" with a single word (or different couple), just something about it in a title irks me.

[ColtraineGF]

I know there are SMT fans, so please forgive me: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Lots of colons.

Dang, was just raring to post these.

[Conciliator]

I actually find the decadent Japanese names kind of endearing. The only thing that really bothers me is when a game is hurting itself by trying to be generically named as possible. "Kingdoms of Amalaur: Reckoning" is one of the worst in recent memory. If you're going to shove your generic fantasy me-too world into the title, you could at least bother to make the thing pronounceable. You could look through Steam all day and find egregious offenders, mostly games with a fantasy or recent/modern war setting.

[Jazzem]

Beyond the Beyond is such a bad name...

Also, going to the broader range of consoles; Turbografx-16 is rather crappy. The PC Engine deserves something better than that!

[Wonko_C]

Rally: The Final Round of the World Rally Championship (Cancelled Super Nintendo game)

What makes it funny in my eyes is not so much the ridiculously large subtitle (Which doesn't really sound bad) but that its preceded by "Rally". It was completely unnecesary.

[Skyfireblaze]

Does this one qualify?



I always found it pretty strange.

[shrapnelmagnet]

To be honest, the name Mount & Blade is pretty bad / odd. I always have to make sure I pronounce it very specifically when talking about it to someone that's never seen / heard of it. I know that it is exactly what the game is (love the game), but it's weird.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Is that guy on the front cover pissing a stream of hearts? That's just lovely if so.

Yep. 'Tis how you play the game. It's a pretty bad expansion pack, overall, but it's an Iida game. It's...an Iida game alright.

[King of the Potato People]

Square Enix are good at these.

Sleeping Dogs...

watch when the reviewers try to be witty and say they got tired of the game.

The Third Birthday

Whose Birthday? Why should I care?

[Forceatowulf]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

So fucking terrible...

[glaurung]

Infinite Undiscovery

The more I think about it, the worse it gets. I can analyze this until I get a really bad headache and have to reboot with heavy drinking.

[Dacvak]

That kingdom hearts 357/2 or whatever game is definitely the worst in my opinion. I don't even know how to say that game.

[cyborg009]

I Don't Have Many Friends Portable(namco bandi) for PSP

[Meccanical]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

I can't even pronounce that number. 358 divided by 2 days? 358 over 2 days?

IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING

[NinjaBoiX]

Infinite Undiscovery The more I think about it, the worse it gets. I can analyze this until I get a really bad headache and have to reboot with heavy drinking.

Come on man, it clearly means something that is discoverable, but it would take...no, wait.

If you had infinite time, you could discover the undiscov...hang on.

It's undiscoverable with a finite length of time, but if you had infinite time...no, that doesn't work either.

Yeah, let me think about it a while, I'll get back to you.

[lord pie]

For length, I was always impressed by The Lord of the Rings: The battle for Middle Earth II: The rise of the Witch King Expansion.

Also Wargasm. Words fail me...

[Rhomega Beta]

Sonic the Hedgehog
Prince of Persia

I'm not talking about the originals, I'm talking about the sequels the developers couldn't be bothered to give original titles to to set them apart from the originals.

[NinjaBoiX]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days I can't even pronounce that number. 358 divided by 2 days? 358 over 2 days? IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING

I guess Kingdom Hearts 179 Days didn't have the same catchy ring to it.

[robertoci]

Infinite Undiscovery

[AJTsuki]

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.

I think this title is awesome, and brave, and makes me want to play it. Though, yes, ludicrous, too.

[Seraphinianus]

Well, good for me then, I guess, that I never even heard of "tokusatsu".

*tokusatsu means plan

To be honest, the name Mount & Blade is pretty bad / odd. I always have to make sure I pronounce it very specifically when talking about it to someone that's never seen / heard of it. I know that it is exactly what the game is (love the game), but it's weird.

Mountain Blade

Squenix thread. Say Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance out loud. Yes, they managed to make aliteration awkward. All of their titles are the Japanese-to-English/Latin equivalent of a white dude getting a tattoo of random kanji he made up. By the way, I refuse to pronounce the X in Street Fighter X Tekken as "cross."

ahhh, can't say it! Dristance!


saying "cross" is annoying. "Versus" would've worked just fine.

I think this title is awesome, and brave, and makes me want to play it. Though, yes, ludicrous, too.

that is not "brave," that's a person with a poor understanding of English making up a game title in english.

It would be like me making a game title in Spanish when I only have a basic understanding.

[Cjdamon042]

For length, I was always impressed by The Lord of the Rings: The battle for Middle Earth II: The rise of the Witch King Expansion.

Oh wow, that's quite a mouthful indeed, even it's abbreviation... LotR: BFMEII: RotWK

Like someone just hit their keyboard repeatedly.

And I believe Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is read out as: Kingdom Hearts Three Five Eight Days Over Two. Not that it really helps...

[ivysaur12]

Dissidia 012 Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy The first time I heard that I laughed so hard tears streamed down my face.

That's real, isn't it. The fuck, SE.

And if it's 358/2, I don't understand why they couldn't just reduce fractions.

[ScraftyDevil]

For me, it's a tie between Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2, Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier. All fantastic games with ridiculous names.

By the way, it's pronounced "Kingdom Hearts: Three-Five-Eight Days Over Two" and is becomes incredibly significant by the end of the game.

[Seraphinianus]
