I was going to make a fancy intro about the importance of a game's title, but really, I just want to talk about some video game titles that are funny, weird, interesting, etc. Both mainstream and more niche stuff is fine, I just want to stare in bafflement before typing "why would anybody think that was a good name?"

Examples:

• Alone in the Dark: Illumination
• Battlefield 1
• Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears
• Golf Magazine: 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples
• Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
• Infinite Undiscovery
• Irritating Stick
• Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep - A fragmentary passage
• Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
• Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk Inside A Bag Of Milk
• NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139
• Ninja Baseball Batman
• Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
• Sex 2
• Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
• Tetris: The Grand Master 3: Terror Instinct
• Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
• Untitled Goose Game
• VVVVVV

Square Enix in particular is composed of experts in this field.

What are some of your favorite weird titles?

Well, two that immediately come to mind are Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meet Up In Bellabel Park.

And then there's... Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons And Armor. You May Be Defeated, But Don’t Give Up. Become Stronger. I Believe There Will Be A Day When The Heroes Defeat The Devil King. (yes, this is actually the title of the game.)

Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War

Pretty much the entire Xbox line, to be honest. I get the etymology behind "Xbox" (DirectX-Box), but the name itself is still weird. And then their naming schemes for every iteration.

The Wii and WiiU.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33

The Stanley Parable

What remains of Edith Finch

Man, I'm still eagerly awaiting the announcement of Sex 3...

Second one, in case it is hard to read 'YU-NO: A girl who chants love at the bound of this world DAY ONE EDITION'

Games with excessive use of adjectives in their titles are all funny, Japan used to makes those all the time. Here is an example of such a title: 'Super Ultra Dead Rising 3′ Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha'

Some that come to mind are Strange Brigade, Bright Memory Infinite, Nikoderiko, Bravely Default, Disco Elysisum, Infinite Undiscovery.
