Localized Title: Original Title

with the recently announced Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots and previous games like Resident Evil 7:Biohazard, what other games would have a great new entry by mashing up localized and original titles?

Ace Attorney: Turnabout Trial would be great but Dragon Warrior: Dragon Quest would not.

I am willing to rename Chestnut into the worse name Cookies all so we can rid the world of the blatantly subtitle calibre American name of the game.

The Darkstalkers series is confusing because in the beginning it seemed they didn’t know whether they want to call the series Vampire, Night Warriors, or Darkstalkers, then settled on Vampire and Darkstalkers, and have slowly been merging them together across borders.

I think I have this right, lmk if I messed this up

1st game:
Vampire: The Night Warrior (JP)
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors (NA)

2nd Game:
Vampire Hunter (JP)
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge (NA)

3rd Game:
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (JP Arcade)
Vampire Savior: World of of Darkness (NA Arcade)
Vampire Hunter 2 (JP Arcade variation)
Vampire Savior 2 (JP Arcade variation)
Vampire Savior (JP PS1 & Saturn)
Darkstalkers 3 (NA PS1 & Saturn)

4th Game:
Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service (JP)
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (NA)

PS2 Compilation:
Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection (JP)

PS3 Compilation:
Vampire: Resurrection (JP)
Darkstalkers: Resurrection (NA)

So the one most relevant to this thread is:

Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection

Which means the next version should be Darkstalkers: Vampire’s Night Saviors

The rights would be a nightmare, but what if they did

Story of Seasons: Harvest Moon?

A remaster could also do worse than being called

Skies of Arcadia: Eternal Arcadia

The year is 2010. Nintendo is entertaining internal pitches to name its upcoming console, to be announced at E3. Several ideas have been bandied about. Project Cafe is not going to stick. One group is pushing hard for Wii 2, another for Wii U. A new staffer at the meeting, smelling of time travel and inserted credits, clears her throat and speaks up.

The Wii Revolution is born.
