Anything with rogue in it.

Edited out the potentially offensive part. I don't want to come off as ableist.

You'd be surprised by how many people misspell Cthulhu Saves the World: Super Hyper Enhanced Championship Edition Alpha Diamond DX Plus Alpha FES HD – Premium Enhanced Game of the Year Collector's Edition (without Avatars!)

To be fair Cthulhu is pretty hard to spell.

Prototype is apparently [PROTOTYPE]. The same för P2

Assassin's Creed Rogue, Rouge is wrong

Brutal Legend instead of Brütal Legend I do understand why it write wrong

Being super pedantic here:
DMCV instead of DMC5.
Or FF16 instead of XVI

It's all about the correct numerals :P

Yep, this is what first came to mind for me. I was guilty of this for a long time.

People often say Demon Souls instead of the actual title Demon's Souls. Cant blame the misconception ,its a very awkward name to say

Same. Whenever I see "rouge" instead of "rogue" (and that happens WAY TOO OFTEN), I feel like my hair would instantly turn white, if I had any left. It's even more irritating knowing the word "rouge" actually means "red" in my native tongue.

mopinks · Sep 17, 2020

anything with "Odyssey" in the title

Utawarerumono is kind of hard to spell to be honest so I'm not going to blame those who mess it up.

I see a lot of Astrobot instead of Astro Bot too.

Not uncommon to get autocorrected to the wrong spelling of "Dream Land" despite it being spelled "Dream Land" across multiple titles in the series, that's how prevalent the misspelling is

GameBoy Advance is the correct spelling.

I myself only noticed this recently. I've been calling it GameBoy Advanced.

It's actually neither, it's Game Boy Advance lol

Definitely demon's souls for me. I always feel like it should be plural (Demons' Souls), and not multiple souls being possessed by one demon.

Hah, sounds like that's me. "Diddy's Kong Quest" sounds like a game starring P Diddy as he tries to beat Donkey Kong, but it's nevertheless how I've always thought of the game.

I always get rouge/rogue wrong. I'm not a native speaker, and in my mind "rouge" maps a lot better to the sound of rogue than the correct spelling.
The opposite doesn't happen tho (i.e. if I actually of rouge the correct spelling makes sense), so if we could just remove "rogue" that would be great =P

That's fair enough. I mean no disrespect to those who know multiple languages.

But there are a TON of native English speakers that get it wrong all the time. It slays me, hah.

The pronunciation used in English ads (Guy-ar-us) doesn't make sense given that the game's title is short for Gaia Rescue.

It's not, actually. It's Gaia "less", or "earthless." Yes, the "res" is short for "resu." This is per the developer.

Donkey Kong Country 2 is Diddy's Kong Quest.
