You should add htoL#NiQ to the list
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD AT SOME OF THESE LMAOOOOOOO. Also for Kingdom Hearts you forgot Kingdom Hearts: 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage
@turl3 heresy
@fluppywhiffle added. that one's fuckin' powerful
@soniquebaianor i tend to do one per series for the reason that it'd just end up being like every fighting game version/kh game/etc. ever made, but i think i will change it to 0.2 because that's ridiculously long and silly

ymmv on these but
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst HD
The 25th Ward: The Silver Case
Analogue: A Hate Story
Final Fantasy II
Feel the Magic XY XX
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
Street Fighter 2010
Wild Woody
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: Attack of the Twonkies (also SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons - Globs of Doom)
Ride to Hell: Retribution
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Bug Too!
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
Madden Football 64
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill Remastered (also Danger on Deception Island is pretty dumb)
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII
Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego?
Warface
literally any touhou title
arguably many games that use more than one colon or hyphen could make it here too, like Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition and Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition, but that'd probably bloat things. same diff with games that get way too many variations like Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
honorable mention to games that have a trillion different names depending on edition or localization, like mana 1 which has at least 5 different titles because of course it does (and one of those titles is fucking mystic quest, which is different from the other mystic quest)

oh yeah Clu Clu Land is pretty fuckin dumb too imo
also the change from Metroid II: Return of Samus to Metroid: Samus Returns makes me laugh
I didn't realize you already had the king kong game on there whoops
this list gets more powerful by the second

@lynxelot oh hey. just added most of these. ff2 reminded me to add "the last story" as well. epic title. some of the lower hanging fruit ones like "feminazi" i avoided on purpose
@hot_anarcocoa those are pretty standard besides kh, and there's already a kh title

Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package
Rumble Fish
Bravely Default (I don't care that it makes sense with the gameplay mechanics because the mechanics have dumb names too. Also the JP re-release is called "For the Sequel")
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel?
I can't think of much more. Glad to see htoL#NiQ is already there though, CHAD title

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?
Spy Fiction
Plumber Don't Wear Ties would be perfect
I just remembered Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why'd You Steal Our Garbage
why isn't Awesome Possum Kicks Doctor Machino's Butt here
STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE
Aw come on, Medal of Honor: Warfighter is my go-to for dumb video game titles lol. It's so generically bad, like "ok boys we gotta make yet another war game, what do we call this one?" "Idk boss how about Warfighter?" "Pack it up boys, we got it in one!"
the ff2 you put on this is the western release of ff4. just saying
red faction guerilla re-mars-tered
Speed Power Gunbike deserves a mention
clu clu land is NOT stupid! it's just a rendition of kuru kuru, like how they used to call yoshi yossy in japan blah blah
bomberman 2 on ds is not the second game in the bomberman series. it is, however, the second bomberman game on the ds following bomberman, which is not the first game in the bomberman series.
pac-man championship edition 2 is not the second game in the pac-man championship edition series. pac-man championship edition dx is not a deluxe version of pac-man championship edition, but a separate game with its own rules, mechanics and features.
new super mario bros. 2 is not the second game in the new super mario bros. series. it is, however, the third game in the series, released on the nintendo 3ds, and the first game in the series with full three-dimensional projection.
super mario 3d all-stars does not feature super mario galaxy 2 or super mario 3d world, and by definition cannot be considered to have all stars. for that matter, if we include the mushroom kingdom power moons as power stars, those are also missing from super mario 3d all-stars.
mr. gimmick is a factually inaccurate title, according to the game's japanese developers (the game was titled gimmick! in japan). there is no mr. gimmick, as gimmick is the name of the fantasy world the game is set in. the protagonist of gimmick is in fact yumetaro.
the great escape in rayman 2: the great escape happens within the first ten minutes of gameplay, and is a glorified tutorial.
there are multiple hoodlums out for vengeance in rayman: hoodlum's revenge, despite the title implying there is only the one hoodlum. this is in fact so clearly stupid that wikipedia chooses to refer to the game as hoodlums' revenge, despite the fact that the game has never officially been referred to as such.
hover: revolt of gamers may not be an inaccurate title, especially now that the subtitle is no longer part of the game's official name, but it sure was a revolting game!
super win the game is a confusingly titled sequel to you have to win the game. the jury is out as to whether super you have to win the game might have been a better title, or a worse one.
bubble bobble 4 friends unambiguously suggests in its title that if you are playing the game on your lonesome (for friends), or even without three other people (four friends), you are playing the game wrong. in fact, you would still be playing the game wrong if the three other players and you share no mutual friendship.
mr. driller drillland. not drill land, drillland.
super mario world is super mario bros. 4 in japan. this in of itself is not stupid.
super mario world 2: yoshi's island was to be known as super mario bros. 5: yoshi's island in japan. this is... not entirely stupid.
super mario world 2: yoshi's island was ultimately known as super mario: yoshi's island in japan. this is actually not stupid.
super mario advance 3: super mario world 2: super mario bros. 5: super mario: yoshi's island.
