In many video game titles, it commonly overlaps with SuperTitle64Advance for the titles that end in "[[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]]", "[[UsefulNotes/WiiU U]]" or "[[UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} X]]". Related to OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo, XMakesAnythingCool and StoppedNumberingSequels, not to be confused with OneLetterTitle.

* Lesser-known Creator/{{Atlus}} title ''VideoGame/MakenX'' has this by way of VisualPun. When ported from the [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, the game was retitled ''Maken Shao''. Comparing the characters used for both versions (魔剣X vs. 魔剣爻), the "爻" ("shao") is meant to evoke a "XX", building off of how the original [[XMakesAnythingCool already had an "X" in the title]].

This practice is commonly seen in [[WidgetSeries Japanese works]] because they use different writing systems and apparently combining kanji or kana letters with an alphabet letter will bring XMakesAnythingCool into a new height. Alphabets are also pronounced in more literal way in Japanese, making it sounded more badass, such as ''Ekkusu'' (X) and ''Zetto'' (Z).
