While not even nearly as extreme as these other examples:

53376-super-mario-64-ds-nintendo-ds-front-cover.jpg


I've never gotten over the fact that the remake of Super Mario 64 for Nintendo DS was literally called "Super Mario 64 DS".

That japanese one is longer, but this here's gotta be amongst the longest english titles:

https://itunes.apple.com/qa/app/cup...y-cool-glitter-cake-catching/id731444340?mt=8
Cupcake Catch - Sweet Pretty Cool Glitter Cake Catching Fun for Girls Hot Top Maker Making Smile Happy Love Sprinkles Rainbow Smart Super Color Catcher Amazing Endless Hot Market Bakery Rush Dash Temple Saga Treat Make Game

Wonder how just how much further these keyword bait titles go~

Also this dev has other wacky bait titles but "Pretty Pink Slots - Sweet Candy Fun Slot Game" may take the cake:

Not as ridiculous long as other names, but it's my favorite:

Kingdom Hearts • 0.2 • Birth by Sleep • -A fragmentary passage
  • It's part of the Kingdom Hearts series (okay I guess)
  • specifically the 0.2th entry (wait, what the hell does that even mean?)
  • called Birth by Sleep (these are just random words)
  • and it's the extra chapter called -A fragmentary passage- (???)

Square Enix naming is bonkers.

What the heck is Dream Drop Distance? Also just random words...

Not the longest, but a fun time.

Persona ・4・U・The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold

It's a shame they dropped the SMT moniker on Persona or that would be wild.

Also not a game but

東北大学加齢医学研究所 川島隆太教授監修 ものすごく脳を鍛える5分間の鬼トレーニング
Which translates to "Tohoku University Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer Professor and Supervisor Ryuta Kawashima's Tough 5-Minute Brain Training with Demon Training".
The European name is very long too "Dr. Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training: Can You Stay Focused?". Also noteworthy is the game took FIVE years to be released in Europe after Japan and the US.

The Kingdom Hearts compilation games are up there, with "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 Remix", alongside "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue". Yikes.

At least they learned, with the latest compilation being simply called "Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far".

We all await what The Story So Far + KH3 collection gets called.

I was searching for this post.

How about for an individual game name as "Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Final Chapter Prologue"? It rolls off your tongue doesn't it?

I love that Arc System Works just kept adding to the title "Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R" with each iteration. Looking forward to seeing how far Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 will go :)

Surely you meant to say The National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association Present Wayne Gretzky's Three-Dimensional Hockey Nineteen Ninety-Eight.

Indeed! In fact, for clarity, I suppose it should be:

The National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association Present Wayne Gretzky's Three-Dimensional Hockey Nineteen Ninety-Eight Anno Domini

or

The National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association Present Wayne Gretzky's Three-Dimensional Hockey The Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Eight Anno Domini

Final Fantasy • Dissidia • Duodecim (012) • Prologus

I think technically the "012" and the "Duodecim" part are actually the same thing and you're not supposed to say both, but DEAR GOD.

Also, I played this game not knowing anything about Dissidia and barely anything about any Final Fantasy besides XIII, and was just completely lost. Like, so lost that I'm not even entirely sure it's a fighting game. So I guess in this particular case I could've in fact judged this book by its cover.

I always liked the name of the Brain Traning games in Japanese:

Tohoku University Future Technology Research Center Professor and Supervisor Ryuta Kawashima's Train Your Brain DS Training For Adults (東北大学未来科学技術共同研究センター川島隆太教授監修 脳を鍛える大人のDSトレーニング)

and the sequel:
