Star Box: You know how when you were a kid, you used to get into a cardboard box and pretend it was a spaceship? Yeah, like that.

Anima Crossing: The fun-filled life-among-demons-summoned-from-an-eldritch-plane simmulator for the whole family!

Devil May Fry: Like Iron Chef, only with more shirtless Mr. Fanservice, and the ingredients tend to involve demon blood. Watch out for the crystals; I chipped a tooth on one!

Try the Tasmanian Tiger: It's delicious and goes well with steak sauce! Could you also pass the dodo wings and mammoth ribs while you're at it?

Meta Gear Solid: As if the series wasn't postmodern enough...

Oh, and the last one's techically a cheat, since it involves both a letter change AND removal, but it was too good to pass up...

Danke Kong: Learn German with giant gorillas! Call today for your free trial!

Command And Conquer: Bed Alert. Einstein not only removed Hitler, but apparently caused beds to rise up against their former masters. You must coordinate the Allied Forces in order to defeat the evil Bed Army.

On the same note as one of yours:

Assassin's Cred: Word on the street is that you're one bad-ass mofo, Altaiir. But can you prove it?

Final Fantasy VIVI: Best game in the series.

Wild ARTS: Like Pokemon, but instead of animals there are art forms roaming around in the wild.

Sonic the Wedgehog: It's hard to do a spin dash when you can only curl up into a wedge.

Parappa the Wrapper: Wrap presents in time to the beat.

Parappa the Raper: The developers are trying to cash in on the Streisand Effect.

Hardest Moon: Bad-ass alien empires need bad-ass entertainment. This one involves planetary bodies, giant motors, and the old game of Conkers.

Star Raft: Command humanity's first mission to colonize a world around another star! Yet the conquest of that world is not your concern: you and and your descendants must conquer the ship, the world you'll know for centuries. Provide food and water, keep order, and build a stable society further away from help than anyone has ever been before. If the flatlanders break down, they have a war or a Dark Age or start over; if your people break down, EVERYBODY DIES.

I'd pay to play that.

[cue mario opening theme in a cappela]

  • Margatroid: starring Alice as a pirate-fighting outer-space bounty hunter.
  • Kastelvania: some joke involving Bernkastel which I don't know because I don't know Bernkastel's series origin.
  • Super Wario RPG: Wario farts in the Princess's general direction, trashes Booster's fort, and steals the stars for great victory.
  • Super Wario Land 3: Mario Land: also known as Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, the Reprise.
  • Boshi's Island: that jerk from Mario RPG took over Yoster Isle.
  • Spies of Arcadia: far more mind games.
  • Prince of Persian: for the cat fans, the Pokémon fans, and especially for Matrix.
  • P-Type: the shmup where doping is allowed in competitive play.
  • Gladius: in this shmup, you can only kill enemies using melee attacks with your sword.
  • Super Mario Word: the cheat code that turns the game into one of the following: 8-bit version, 30 lives, or Kaizo Trap version.

Words: Letters on the alphabet aim to kill each other.

I WANT TO SEE THIS. NOW.

Dude, Nukem: It's the only way to be sure.
