Tetris the Absolute the Grand Master 2 Tetris the Grand Master 3: Terror Instinct. Not a subtitle you'd expect from an abstract puzzle game. Also, there's the canceled TGM4: The Masters of Round.

I think the series is called "Super Star Wars", and then the subtitles are added after that. Ah, good catch! The boxarts are in fact entitled as "Super Star Wars," followed by the subtitles. Been a while since I played one of those games. I could have sworn I've seen them abbreviated as "Super Empire Strikes Back" and "Super Return of the Jedi" somewhere before, hence why it stuck out in my memory. Maybe it was in Nintendo Power or something. ...But on a similar note, here are a few other lame videogame titles based on movies Back to the Future 2 & 3 -Just sounds weird, and the game itself doesn't feel like a combination of the two movies at all Super Back to the Future 2 -Another case where adding "Super" to the title feels unnecessary, even if it was released for the Super Famicom

Death Brade sounds more badass than if it was spelled correctly. Same goes for Ninja Master's.

Well this title is intentionally perplexing and absurd, but nonetheless... Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronn tuonnthunntrovarrhounawns kawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk (I THINK that's how the title is supposed to be formatted as well, at least according to GameFAQs It's a game on the Ouya from Terry Cavanagh, the man behind VVVVVV And interestingly enough, there's a gameplay video on Youtube in which one of the commentators explains the origin of the title: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqKMEP9zDto

Quest 64 (real imaginative) It was Holy Magic Century in Europe and Eltale Monsters in Japan. The US release came first, though.

Another example is the couple of games called "Game Over" and "Game Over 2". Why? It's like calling your pet "Dead" or something.
A few others: Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Nicky Boom Ikari Warriors (never understood why it's half Japanese and half English)

Well, Time Stalkers was called Climax Landers in Japan, which is kinda fitting. Though I got tricked by the name when I bought it back then, as I expected something more like Landstalker or at least a real RPG gameplay and storywise. Instead I got a rouge-like where you're Level resets after every dungeon. At least there was some nice fanservice, too bad it wasn't put in a better game. As for Götzendiener, I'm sadly unable to describe an Ö in english better than just oe right now. The correct form without umlaut would be Goetzendiener anyway. It's meaning would be something akin to "someone who serves a false deity" The katakana form really made me laugh when I first deciphered it. IIRC the enemy's names weren't any better.^^ It's always fun to read strange german words and sentences in foreign, especially japanese, games. Kudos to Konami though, everything in the original Dracula X intro was clear and correct, even if a bit stilted. Double Kudos to them for getting Klaus-Dieter Klebsch for the remake. (And losing all of these points by giving us stuff like Lords of Shadow)
This actually reminds me of another pretty dumb name: Dr. Social, Psychologist, hero of the Castlevania-clone Master of Darkness
