Almost but: 70'S ROBOT ANIME GEPPY-X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I found Rise of the Robots really broken.
Totally broken fighting system and static graphics.
It otherwise looked good on still images (PC SVGA version in particular) and had a decent soundtrack.
Does anything actaully beat

Oh c'mon, Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman is a great title. It's retarded on purpose.
Megaman. Lol. But I would go as far as to say that the U.S. titles are much more odd when you look at some of the more, interesting titles like Montezumas revenge. Because that Diarrhea is going to come back and make you jump around an ancient temple so it can give you diarrhea again. Wait.And oh yeah, how could I forgot about the single worst game title of all time...
Resident Evil
And you know what's funny about this title? The fact that this title was not named by Capcom Japan (which called it Bio-Hazard), but their American branch!

[QUOTE="ramulux"]um jammer lammyMudoSkillsYOU TAKE THAT BACK. YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW. Lol, not only is the name bad, but the game was so bad, even the dev team took out Lammy stages and put in a ton of Parrapa stages in a game not even about him for that sole reason. Also, the name is just hard to take seriously. At least we know Parrapa is a rapper.
As much as I love this gem, I'll just hae to ask: Why this name? It has nothing to do with the novel.
Beyond Good & Evil
I can see why this was a turnoff that might have explained the game's commercial failure.
Also just for yucks:
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
Huh?
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't really see anything wrong with the "Resident Evil" name. JML897That's because we've gotten so used to the name that we've forgotten just how wierd it sounded when it first came out. It's a bit like how we've gotten to used to the name "Metal Gear Solid" that it just doesn't sound that wierd anymore. Or for that matter, the name "Final Fantasy VII" didn't make any sense either, because that's just an oxymoron.
Armored Core: For Answer. Not that I think it's a bad name as such (in fact I rather like its bizarre opacity) but can anyone tell me what in blazes that For Answer bit is trying to say?
Yo! Noid (Yeah, they made a game about that pizza douchebag, Noid.)
Sticky Balls (No kidding)
No one can stop Mr. Domino! (Not even if you tip him over?)
XEXYZ (A name I can't pronounce. Decent game, though)
Irritating Stick (The name is fitting though, as it's irritatingly glitched.)
Beyond the Beyond (Beyond the Beyond the Beyond the Beyond the Beyond the Beyond... beyond what, exactly)
Tongue of the Fatman (A fighting game with Kevin Smith in it... just kidding.)
If it Moves, Shoot it (Then in that case, shoot yourself! XD)
Tech Romancer (Ew. Yeah, I know it's supposed to sound similar to Neckromancer... even that's a little weird when you say it out loud)
James Pond 2 - Codename: RoboCod (Would you ever say "The name is Pond, James Pond" or "Dead or alive, you are coming with me... in a bag."? That made no sense, I'm sorry. *shrug* Actually, the game's not bad.)
Yo! Noid (Yeah, they made a game about that pizza douchebag, Noid.)
Sticky Balls (No kidding)

XEXYZ (A name I can't pronounce. Decent game, though)

Getting a lot of Amiga and ZX Spectrum vibes from this post. I tip my hat.
And they say that Sonic '06 was the worst,still,I only find one positive side in it.
Metal Gear Solid on NES wasn't really the thrill to be,because it's 8-bit,plain action no doubt.
@williemanga: XEXYZ (A name I can't pronounce. Decent game, though)
ZEX - eez. And, yeah, pretty fun.
Worst name is Killzone. As it has been pointed out to me a number of times, it sounds like the name of a videogame from TV show like Law and Order trying to do an episode on videogame violence.
As someone already mentions, japanse games sometimes have weird titles. Just like magical attacks in anime, they tend to sound rather corny, as if the authors just pick cool english words and combined them. Bravery Default: Flying Fairy is an excellent choice.
And oh yeah, how could I forgot about the single worst game title of all time...
Resident Evil
And you know what's funny about this title? The fact that this title was not named by Capcom Japan (which called it Bio-Hazard), but their American branch!
Yet Resident Evil is the name that has truly stuck with it.
I nominate Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie for worst title.
By the way, it's a matter of name, not gameplay. It doesn't matter whether the gameplay is terrible or decent, if the name is just downright stupid, it's more than qualified to be on this list.
Locoroco and Patapon are some weird names.
I don't like the names of:
@williemanga: for what? Sonic '06? It's music was fine,yet the only lifesaver in that game was Blaze the Cat's role(Japanese recommended)
