Which is more egregious; Games ending in "64", or games beginning with "Super"?

Option C: this retarded OP
fpbp and /thread

For me it's games ending in X on PSX like Mega Man or Dracula
>>
>>12801489
I think it's okay for MM to have the X subtitle since that's a different series entirely.
>>
>>
>>12801496
I guess "Super" is the more egregious title. I've always thought the heavy usage of "Super" in titles got kicked into overdrive by the 4th gen, then became a title gimmick for most N64 games. (Especially MM Legends, though its "64" title could be a shit localization choice.)

No but yours obviously didn't either

But that doesn't end with X
>>
>>12801473
Super at the start is alright, at least pre-SNES. Slapping 64 on the end of everything was just laziness.

For me, it's games with 2000 in the title that didn't come out in 1999 or 2000
>Faceball 2000
>Dune 2000
>Firepower 2000
>V2000
>Tempest/Breakout/Defender 2000
>Gamera 2000
It's fine for like 70s/80s sci-fi, but when the millennium is right around the the corner it just sounds so lame.

64. It's inclusion can only be attributed to the console name and makes zero sense in any other context. "Super" naming is still obviously due to the console's name (and I guess by extension, also because of Super Mario Bros, since presumably that played a part in how Nintendo named the console), but it's also a general adjective which still makes sense in any other context. "Super" can just mean it's an exciting game full of cool shit, "64" just means it's on the Nintendo 64.

Why is it called "Super Metroid" if Super Earthbound the alien super and Samus wasn't but the Metroid?

Yes, "Super" makes sense in other contexts beyond games released for the SNES, so it's a less egregious naming convention.

A rare specimen
There's also Ape Escape P on PSP but that is NOT RETRO so I will not be posting an image of it
>>
>>12801473
The most egregious is PS2 games ending in 2:
>Metal Gear Solid 2
>Silent Hill 2
>Armored Core 2
>Guilty Gear X2
>Virtua Figgter 2
Har har you guys, naming everything just because it's on the Playstation 2. Pick something original like Super Monkey Ball or picrel

If 128-bits was invented, could we have had Super Mario 128?
>>
>>12802254
No, we would've had Pikmin.

>Xbox 360
>wasn't 360-bit
Marketing lied.
>>
>>12801643
But that doesn't end with X
>>
>>12802046
Advance Wars is a funny one because Advance became part of the series name in the international releases when it was meant to be just for the GBA ones.

Looks to be a Mega Man X situation.

I think the only really embarrassing scenario existed on the 64.
>after the fact, neutered port

super was more often a completely unrelated non marketing term or it was a one off release on the super nintendo.

Yeah I can't imagine how many N64 owners must've missed out on Tron Bonne.
