boy howdy we're almost at 500k! It's been my dream for years to achieve this, so if you're new and like this kind of stuff please consider subscribing! This video was a challenge for me to do a single revision script and not overthink it. So I definitely just overllooked a ton. Originally, it was going to be a pure April Fools but I actually got more into it than anticipated. Please post other titles in th comments though. Don't even explain - just put the title of the game.

Smash for 3DS/Wii U should’ve been called Smash Duel. Sure, a duel is typically between only two people but still. It would’ve been a great pun. Duel and Dual sound the same. Dual as in two consoles and each console having two screens.

I believe that game is actually a game adaption of a light novel. The titles of those are usually all insane(ly specific) because the market is heavily competitive, but the labels only get to publish a handful novels every week, so authors really have to compete for their audience with outstanding and "descriptive" titles (Nowadays the most popular web novels are often chosen). You may know some ridiculous manga/anime titles, these are usually adaptions of light novels too.

The actual reason is because they wanted a name that could be shortened to FF, so they just came up with cool words that started with F. They were even going to call it “Fighting Fantasy” but couldn’t due to copyright, so they went with Final Fantasy instead.

I mean for Xenoblade, Persona and Fire Emblem, how CAN you title them in a way that they could in 2+ words convey their gameplay idea? JRPGs, all RPGS, are kinda defined by focusing on story and variety more than some unique gameplay idea. And they still work IMO. Xenoblade Chronicles - main guy's weapon, on the cover, biggest gameplay element, it's an RPG so we be chronicling the journey Fire Emblem - Fires of war, emblems and symbols of nobility. Kinda works... Persona - main gameplay gimmick, main story conceit, usually also on the cover. Plus, it even explains the main theme of the series too, masks and social life etc.

In the year of our Lord, 1987, got the fourth installment of fighting fiends (the first ever monster tamer game, the first installment being a 1982 arcade game, 13 years before pokémon), and what did they call the fourth game? Fighting fiends 4: the golden quest - NES. Not only did they have to specify with the fourth game, and give it a subtitle, but the had to specify it was for the NES.

this was an awesome video!! the title stuff was so funny, and i enjoyed the editing a lot. also awesome section on how much cooler Japanese games sound in Japanese. Like Fire Emblem Three Houses' Japanese title has a really complex idiom and shin megami tensei sounds metal af in Japanese

I was pleasantly surprised when I paused the video to read the newspaper and instead of some lorem ipsum nonsense filler, it was several honest-to-goodness paragraphs that were discussing the topic of "Mario VS Climate Change" as well as Donkey Kong's new game. All that for a joke that lasted about 5 seconds. Got to respect the quality!
