What’s the Better Title?

[Champion of Hyrule]

First person says a title of a game, tv show, movie etc. in two or more regions and another person says which title they think is better for whatever reason. You can also say unused titles or even titles you came up with if you want to.

Example:
Person 1: Biohazard or Resident Evil

Person 2: Biohazard because…
Super Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Country

And so on.

If you do think the titles are equally as good because they represent the games just fine in the context of different cultures that’s alright too.

I will say though try to avoid things that are drastically different products between regions. So stay away from “Panel de Pon or Tetris Attack” for example because then they’d just be comparing the versions. Obviously there can be some changes between regions, all things do that’s how localization works, but not when it’s that different.

Think that’s about it so I’ll start
Bust-A-Move or Puzzle Bobble?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Puzzle Bobble - Bust-A-Move sounds more like a rhythm game and doesn't connect well to Bubble Bobble.

"Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest" or "Diddy in Space, Even Though He's Not"

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

DKC 2: Diddy Kongs quest - It fits Diddy more.

"Death Battle" or "Pop Culture brawl"

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Death Battle. Given how brutal it sometimes is the title kinda has to represent that

Ace Attorney or Turnabout Trial

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Ace Attorney - Phoenix's an attorney, so I don't see any explanations.

Gryzor or Contra?

 

[AlRex]

Contra, I have no clue what a "gryzor" is, Contra is at least something, for better or worse.

Ninja Turtles or Hero Turtles?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Ninja Turtles - They are "Ninja" turtles.

Plants VS Zombies or Lawn of the Dead?

As for AlRex , Gryzor is an european title for Contra.

 

[AlRex]

I figured that's what it was, I just have no clue what a "gryzor" is besides that.

Anyways, I kind of like Lawn of the Dead, but it might result in confusion, I guess, so the more straightforward Plants VS Zombies may have to be chosen.

X-Men or The Mutants?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

X-men - I feel "the mutants" would feel confusing, considering that there are many fictional mutants. Also it feels kinda generic comparing to X-men title.

Jet Set Willy or Willy's big adventure?

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Tough but Willy’s Big Adventure kinda fits the tone better

Yakuza or Like A Dragon?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Yakuza - he is a Yakuza leader

Jumping Flash (Sony) or Robbit the Robo Rabbit?

 

[FazDude]

Jumping Flash.

Skylanders or Spyro's Kingdom?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Skylander

Minecraft or Voxel world?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Voxel World. Voxel is a cool as hell word

Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed or Sonic and All-Stars Racing: Transformed

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Sonic & SEGA Allstars Racing Transformed - It has SEGA Allstars.

Fantasy Zone or Opa-Opa: defender of galaxy?

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Fantasy Zone. Other ones just a bit strange if you don’t know opa opa I guess and fantasy zone just had a nice ring to it

Minecraft or Cave Game?

 

[Zinith]

Minecraft. The other sounds too close to Cave Story

Macross or Robotech?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Robotech - well, they have Robotic technology, so this title makes sense.

My Hero Academia or Academia of heroes?

 

[Oracle Link]

My Hero Academia just sounds more Fun!
I dont really have a title for a piece of Media so heres the Title for The Protagonists of Dragon Ball:
Z-Fighters or Dragon Team

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Z-Fighters - they are actual fighters. Dragon team feels kinda generic.

Super Mario Bros. (NES) or Super Mario Adventure?

 

[Northsouthmap]

Super Mario Bros because it explains the characters of the game.

Pushmo or Pullbox?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Pushmo

The Legend of Zelda (NES) or Link's journey?

 

[Northsouthmap]

Link's Journey shows the main character

Bionic Commando or Hitler's Resurrection: Top Secret?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Bionic Commando - the other mentions Hitler, so it's a big no-no.

Devil May Cry or Infernal Dante?

 

[Northsouthmap]

Infernal Dante shows the main character.

A Link to the Past or Triforce of the Gods?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

A link to the past - It takes place in past.

Excitebike (NES) or Motocross racing?

 

[Northsouthmap]

Motocross racing mentions the type of game.

Sly Cooper & the Thievius Raccoonus or Sly Raccoon?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Hot take, but the latter - I think it better sums up the concept of the game, which I feel a title for a new IP should prioritise

Pepsi or Brad's Drink

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Pepsi

Resistance (Sony) or Invasion of Chimerians?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Invasion of Chimerians

Google or BackRub

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Google

Multiversus or Warner Brawlers?

 

[Northsouthmap]

Warner Brawlers shows the company.

Game of Thrones or Throne Fight?

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Game of thrones - It's a game of thrones.

Shinobi (SEGA) or Musashi Ninja?

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Shinobi just sounds cooler. Plus joe musashi isn’t the only protagonist

Home Alone or Mom I Missed The Plane (the french title)

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Home Alone - Kevin is home alone.

Terminator or Electronic murderer (Polish title)?

 

[Oracle Link]

Home Alone - Kevin is home alone.

Terminator or Electronic murderer (Polish title)?

Terminator

Home Alone or Kevin alone at Home (German title)

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Kevin alone at home- No explanation.

Valkyria Chronicles or Valkyria wars?

 

[Zinith]

Valkyria Wars. Cause, you know, war

Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan or Dragon Ball Z: Burn!! Hot Battle - Fierce Battle - Super Fierce Battle

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Objectively the prior, but the latter is funnier.

Toy Story or Toyz in the Hood

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Toy story - It's a story about toys. Also the latter could fit into "Black Friday reel" version.

Up (Pixar) or Balloon house?
