Ah, not totally dissimilar to those stores that are always having closing down sales then?

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is the worse name in recent memory.

That and Infinite Undiscovery.

Advance Wars

It was silly on the GBA, but on the DS it's just annoying. DS Wars anyone?

Wasn't that actually by Hudsonsoft and part of the evolution of Bomberman?

Judoscar wrote:Tir Na Nog

Tir Na Nog, however, is a term from celtic folklore IIRC, and thus makes sense in the context of the game setting.

Personally though, my vote goes for "Oneechambara - Bikini Zombie Slayers"

You've clearly not played the game.

Anyway, here's the best game title (and special edition name) of recent times.

Hold on.

You are utterly insane, Advance Wars is brilliance in a cartridge.

It always amazes me why Metal Gear Solid is not made fun of as much as it should. When you have a game called Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater starring a character called 'Solid Snake' it almost beggers belief that anyone could look at it and not see obvious comedy therein. :lol:

Because in some quarters, Kojima is seen as some sort of god, who shall never be spoken ill of.

Not me, though. I think he's a pretentious wanker who makes poor games with horrendously long and needlessly complex cutscenes.

Yes I have mr. wiseguy, it's one of my favorite DS games. Just don't care for the title at all. The main title is stupid and the subtitle is stupid, and combined they are even worse.

But in the context of the game they make perfect sense.

Do you prefer the US title (Trace Memory)?

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

What? The 40k galaxy has been immersed in constant large-scale warfare for millennia, so exactly how is the game's setting a 'dawning' of war? This title is senseless wankery is what it is. Great game though.

I'm sure I've heard of a game called 'Lunar Crisis'... can't seem to find anything about it on Google...

Am I imagining it? I've always thought it's the best name for a mad, Japanese videogame, ever!

PostRe: Ridiculous Game Titles by **Alvin Flummux** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:43 pm

I've heard that name, too. No idea what it's from though.

It must be about a crisis concerning the moon. Then again, it probably follows the Japanese naming rule of having nothing or very little to do with the actual premise.

Bang on. Very likely it'll be about an idyllic peaceful world being threatened or overrun by pure evil, which can only be thwarted by an androgynous young boy. That's what most JRPGs are about, anyway. [/Sweeping generalisation]

Legendary: The Box is just Legendary now. They realised how rubbish it sounded.
