** ''KamenRider Climax Heroes W'' is an interesting case; being an UpdatedRerelease of the PS2 game ''Kamen Rider Climax Heroes'', the "W" stands for both "Wii" and, as noted above, ''KamenRiderDouble'', the star of the new version.

** The title of ''Faxanadu'', an NES-exclusive installment in Falcom's ''Xanadu'' series, comes from an abbreviation of "Famicom Xanadu".

** ''Rockman Mega World'', the Japanese version of ''[[MegaMan Mega Man: The Wily Wars]]'', is an interesting case. "Mega World" can be seen as a nod to the Sega Mega Drive itself, the ''Rockman World'' games for the GameBoy, which were half-compilations of the original NES games (''Mega World'' is of course, a compilation of the first three NES games), and Rockman's overseas name of "Mega Man".

** An interesting case with ''PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' where this ''wasn't'' applied to the games themselves, but ''was'' to TheAnimeOfTheGame. ''Pocket Monsters: '''Advanced''' Generation''. [[hottip:* :(Which in America was divided into ''Pokémon Advanced'', ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge'', ''Pokémon: Advanced Battle'' and ''[[OddNameOut Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.)]]

** ''ShinMegamiTensei: '''D'''evil '''S'''urvivor''

** [[DigimonWorldDS Digimon World]] '''[[DigimonWorldDS DS]]'''... Which actually has ''two'' of these, because it's not a DigimonWorld game in Japan, where it's called '''D'''igimon '''S'''tory. The US branch of Bandai seems to change the titles of any recent games to have "Digimon World" title on it, for some strange reason.

* Averted also, although probably unintentionally, by ''NoMoreHeroes 2: '''D'''esperate '''S'''truggle''. Upon its announcement, the subtitle lead people to believe it would be a DS title. It is, in fact, for Wii.

** ''Oneechanbara Revolution''

** A unique variation on the trope in that it is also a case of ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin

** ''{{Everquest}} Online Adventures'', odd as it's a spin off of a series that's already online.

* The {{Nintendo 3DS}} seems to continue this proud tradition, with titles such as ''{{Kirby}} 3D'', ''{{Starfox}} 3D'', ''ResidentEvil: The Mercenaries 3D'', ''Super StreetFighterIV 3D Edition'', ''KingdomHearts 3D'' and ''DeadOrAlive Dimensions''.

* The upcoming Nintendo 3DS appears to continue tradition as many of the announced games (including several [[NintendoSixtyFour N64]] remakes such as StarFox and [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]) have added "3D" to the title.

**** Oddly, the first mainstream GBA ''FF'', a combined port of the first and second games, precedes the next portable's trend: it's called ''Final Fantasy: '''D'''awn of '''S'''ouls''.

* A few games on Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade have "HD" as a suffix, though this may just be to indicate that the games were made in high definition.

* A few games on Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade have "HD" as a suffix.

Some VideoGames have titles that indicate, in some form or another, a system that they are available on. Usually, the publisher does this by taking a part of that system's name and slapping it on the game title as a prefix or suffix. Not always, though. YourMileageMayVary on whether this is a good or bad thing.

Note that this just indicates that it's ''on'' that system, not that it's exclusive, or even originally made for it. Indeed, games or series that travel to a new system are the most likely to pick this up.

** The SNES installment of ''TecmoBowl'' actually faced an interesting conundrum related to this: the NES sequel had already been called ''Tecmo Super Bowl''. So, the SNES version just flipped the words around and became ''Super Tecmo Bowl''.

** ''[[StreetFighter Super Street Fighter II]]'' is an aversion, since the title has nothing to do with its release on the SNES. The game simply gained the word "Super" on its title with its fourth arcade installment. Not to mention the [[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/File:Hsf2zxshcfegmuccttlb.gif the most common joke ever in Street Fighter]].

** The four ''[[SuperMarioBrosRemakeSeries Super Mario Advance]]'' games were remakes of previous ''Super Mario'' titles on the NES and SNES, so we ended up having the awkwardly titled ''[[ColonCancer Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Thankfully they dropped a subtitle in the preceding game, or else we would have had ''Super Mario Advance 3: Super Mario World 2: [=~Yoshi's Island~=]''.

** The AngryVideoGameNerd made a joke about this in his ''{{Superman 64}}'' review. Everyone expected him to do the game for the N64, but he started the video saying: "Superman... on Commodore 64. Yeah, that's what you mean, right? The Commodore 64? [...] The game came on floppy disks. Remember those: the ones that actually ''are'' floppy?"

* The upcoming Nintendo 3DS appears to continue tradition as many of the announced games (including several [[NintendoSixtyFour N64]] remakes such as StarFox and [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]) have added 3D to the title, although in this case it's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sort of justified]]

[[AC:Systems]]
* [[OlderThanTheyThink Despite the association, it didn't start with Nintendo]]. {{Commodore 64}} games sometimes did this; in fact, during the N64's reign there was the occasional joke about how "64" on a game used to mean something else.
** See [[http://www.gamebase64.com/search.php?f=0&t=2&s=64&a=0 here]], and note that TheOtherWiki doesn't list a single one of these.

* [[OlderThanTheNES Sinclair Spectrum]] games did this too. (16/48/ZX/128)

** ''[[StreetFighter Super Street Fighter II]]'' is an aversion, since the title has nothing to do with its release on the SNES. The game simply gained the word "Super" on its title with its fourth arcade installment and before ''Super Street Fighter II'' was even ported to the SNES, the SNES already had original ''Street Fighter II'', as well as ''Street Fighter II Turbo''. Not to mention the [[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/File:Hsf2zxshcfegmuccttlb.gif the most common joke ever in Street Fighter]].

*** There were also two PC Engine versions of the Soccer game: the ''CD Soccer Hen'' (a Super CD version) and the ''PC Soccer Hen'' (a [=HuCard=]). There was also a PC Engine port of ''SuperDodgeBall'' titled ''Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu: PC Bangai Hen''

** Much like the "Castlevania 64" example mentioned below, the PAL version of ''{{Contra}}: Hard Corps'' is known simply as ''Probotector''. To distinguish it from the original ''Probotector'' on the NES, European fans refer to the Mega Drive sequel as "Mega Probotector".

* The Hyper Neo Geo 64 was an attempt to update the NeoGeo, but it didn't work. They still got ''SamuraiShodown 64'', though.

** Inverted also, although probably unintentionally, by ''NoMoreHeroes 2: '''D'''esperate '''S'''truggle''. Upon its announcement, the subtitle lead people to believe it would be a DS title. It is, in fact, for Wii.

** Not Nintendo games but still:
*** ''ResidentEvil 4: Wii Edition'' (Then again, it is an UpdatedRerelease of a {{GameCube}} game and the Wii has backwards compatibility for that console...)
*** ''{{Bomberman}} Land Wii''
** Wii's code name was Revolution. This extended into a few titles:
*** ''[=~Pokémon~=] Battle Revolution''
*** ''Mercury Meltdown Revolution''
*** ''{{Naruto}}: Clash of Ninja Revolution''
*** ''Victorious Boxers: Revolution''
*** ''Oneechanbara Revolution''
** A few games try the variation "We", rather than "Wii"
*** ''WeCheer''
*** ''We Ski''
** ''KamenRider Climax Heroes W'' is an interesting case; being an UpdatedRerelease of the PS2 game ''Kamen Rider Climax Heroes'', the "W" stands for both "Wii" and, as noted above, ''KamenRiderDouble'', the star of the new version.
* Some gamers expected this to be common with the {{Xbox 360}}; however, this has yet to materialize. It appears Microsoft may have banned this practice to the point where not even {{CNN}}'s Anderson Cooper could get 360 into a title.

* The {{Playstation}} port of ''ThunderForce V'' is titled ''Thunder Force V: '''P'''erfect '''S'''ystem''.
* The PC Engine version of ''{{Snatcher}}'' was titled ''Snatcher [=CD-ROMantic=]'', since it was the first version of the game released on CD-ROM format (the original versions were actually released on multiple floppy disks for the PC-88 and MSX computer).
* A non-game example: the ''WildArms'' TV series is known as ''Wild Arms: '''T'''wilight '''V'''enom''.
* Also, the title of the ''Street Fighter II V'' anime series was chosen because "Two Vee" rhymes with "Tee Vee".

* Quite a few NeoGeoPocket games had the word "Pocket" in their titles.
** ''[[AdventureIsland Bikkuriman]] 2000 Viva! Pocket Festival''
** ''[[PuzzleBobble Bust-A-Move]] Pocket''
** ''CoolBoarders Pocket''
** ''Pachinko Pocket Parlor Guide''
** ''Pocket Love If''
** ''Pocket Reversi''
** ''Pocket Tennis''
** ''Pocket Tennis Color''
