Where the fuck was Metal Gear Solid? There was Metal Gear Rex, Metal Gear Ray, Metal Gear Zeke, Metal Gear Sahelanthropus, etc. but no Metal Gear Solid. Was Solid Snake a Metal Gear the whole time?

As long as evil resides there, it is resident evil
I think youre thinking of the word residence which is housing, resident is the person living there

Wait, I guess I was wrong. The tournament in Street Fighter is called World Martial Arts Tournament, unless I'm mistaken?
Ah shit you're right.
Speaking of resident evil, it's funny how Resident Evil Gaiden is non-canon when usually gaiden games are considered canon in a sense that they allow extra content in the setting.
Wait, that interface is very Salamander-ish.

Now, does anybody know why the name Slap Fight was given to a shoot 'em up?

This isn't quite correct. Quake was originally the name of a character in a planned, but unreleased game advertised with Commander Keen, and the name percolated down through multiple cancelled designs until landing on the Quake we know.

It refers to both the main character Solid Snake, as well as the move from 2d sprites in Metal Gear 1 and 2 to "solid" 3d objects. It isn't meant to be a literal name of a Metal Gear walker variant.
Street Fighter seems appropriate. You do a lot of fighting in places that aren't typical prize fight venues. There isn't a game in the series where you can't fight in a street.

"Resident evil" is just a lame name the NA marketing team came up with because they looked at it and saw it as a scary game in a evil house. Bio-hazard is a better title overall because when you find the lab under the mansion it fits a lot more.

Why are Schwarzenegger and Stalone called Contras while fighting aliens in the Amazon?
So you're saying you're a senator from Massachusetts?
Fusion is where she gets infused with Metroid DNA OP, the exact oppositeand as there is no game after Fusion, she still remains infused. But to say she's "part Metroid" is like saying I'm 1/64 Cherokee and calling myself Native American.

i think parasite eve is a good example of this
i dont know a whole lot about the game, but the antagonist is this wacky thing called the mitochondria, and i think its supposed to represent nature to an extent. the main character ayas sister melissa transforms into the main antagonist, mitochondria eve, who wants to destroy every human on the planet because theyre useless parasites
i think its a bit complex, but theyre sisters and theyre both eves. if mitochondria eve is a thing and humans are parasites, that means aya is parasite eve. the game doesnt say this outright, but thats obviously the idea, and its fun to infer

I thought it was operation contra
funny enough my relatives back then called contra rambo
The true reason for the name "Metroid" is that the developers thought of the name "Metro Android" (because of the subterranean setting and the robotic protagonist) for their game and spliced the words together. When they later decided to make the protagonist an actual character, a human in a suit, and a woman, they decided to name her after Pele's real name because she can turn into a ball (no, seriously; I'm not bullshitting you), and to call the enemies in the final area Metroids.
But yes, that is the in-universe explanation.

For a game called Left 4 Dead, you sure aren't allowed to leave someone for dead unless you want to screw your team big time.
Nah, Disgaea, Destiny, etc. are all pretty good too.

I always thought the idea was that the game was like "Metal Gear: Solid", "Metal Gear" as in the franchise, "Solid" as in this is Solid Snake's story, but of course, that doesn't fall in with any of the sequels.

lol, that 's will forever bug me. Should have been called Demon Souls, it's so obvious! Demon's Souls is just so awkward, and nonsensical since there's clearly more than one demon.
It used to say Pocket Monsters on the back of the early game cases. I'm sure it did.

I thought it was a reference to say, a pedestrian crossing, which kinda denotes suburban living
I honestly think it makes more sense than the Japanese title (Animals of the Forest), since you don't really live in a forest
Makes sense
Then
Who are the Damned and why their shadows are important
who is Killer and why he is Dead
Why No More Heroes
Why is it called the Witch and the Hundred Knight if you play as just one knight
why

Doesn't that refer to the fact that you and your team were left for dead and you have to make your way out. That and
In a level, someone has to sacrifice themselves being left 4 dead.
Boss Doggie

I was gonna say that (the last part), but is it really being left for dead if it was voluntary?
No its about the Demons plural souls posessive
Demons' Souls
powerful souls
seek soul power
The tree density in those games is absolutely that of a small town in a clearing in a forest.

Well...I don't know. I say yes because the person has to be left behind to die but they choose to make the sacrifice. Still though the concept of being left 4 dead is what the game is directly about (No other survivors, have to contact the military or make your own escape)
It starts of being fun. Until the end where..

I assume the "Xenoblade" refers to to both the Monado and the Xeno series. But there's hardly any "Xenoblade" item in X.
That's actually the only one I didn't know, thanks a lot!
It's based on a quote from the game so it makes sense.
