* In the heyday of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Famicom]], several Japanese noodle companies got in on this act, producing special branded rereleases of popular Famicom games with changed sprites and some minor gameplay differences that were generally given out as competition prizes. These include ''Kaettekita VideoGame/MarioBros'', ''VideoGame/{{The Legend of Zelda|I}} Charumera'', and ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Archimedes Hen''. (There was also ''All Night Nippon VideoGame/{{Super Mario Bros|1}}'', which tied in with a late-night talk show instead.) These were parodied in ''VideoGame/RetroGameChallenge'', where the unlockable game ''Rally King SP'' is a special version of a DrivingGame already presented in the game that's sponsored by the fictional Cup o' Chicken Noodle.

[[caption-width:350:[[Franchise/StarWars Fear leads to anger,]] [[VideoGame/AngryBirds anger leads to a billion downloads.]]]]

A subtrope of LicensedGame in which the license is added to a new version of an existing video game franchise, either a {{Sequel}} or an UpdatedRerelease. The title of the game generally includes the names of both franchises in order to grab the attention of both fanbases. In addition to updating the graphics, setting, and story to accommodate the new license, the game developers usually create brand new levels and an extra gameplay mechanic or two to entice players into picking up this one too.

This trope differs from DolledUpInstallment where the new license completely supplants the work's original context. That trope also covers situations in which localizing a game for another region includes adding, removing, or replacing licenses.

To make an analogy with licensed board games: TheBoardGame is to ThemedStockBoardGame as LicensedGame is to License-Added Game.

When both franchises have an established cast, the result may include a {{Crossover}}. A MassiveMultiplayerCrossover is similar in combining two or more franchises, though typically marketed as an original concept instead of belonging to one of the represented series.

** ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsTransformers'' has the birds and the pigs don TransformingMecha from the ''{{Franchise/Transformers}}'' franchise (the birds are the Autobirds and the pigs are the Deceptihogs) and for a first in the series has the birds actually walk from point A to point B destroying the pigs on the screen. "Leave the slingshot at home - this time you got REAL firepower!"
* ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' includes a few tie-in titles with Creator/{{Disney}} characters, shows, and songs:
