Make up new titles for games - Xs Games style!

[Dire 51]

"This is an oldie but a... well, it's an oldie where I come from."

I'm sure everyone remembers the fuss raised over Xs Games and their butchering of two great shmups when they bought the rights to them and released them in the US - namely Gunbird and Shikigami no Shiro, which were ridiculously retitled Mobile Light Force 1 & 2, and then castrated by the removal of the original title screens, cinemas, endings, and cover art, and the inclusion of new, horrible Charlie's Angels-style cover art.

Much as what they did infuriated me, I think it would be funny to see what we can come up with if we take some other games and rename them the way Xs Games did, just to see what kind of mediocre, annoying or just plain hilarious titles we can come up with. I'll start, and don't forget to picture these with the required terrible cover art:

Metal Slug X - Patriotic Fighter Squad
R-Type Delta - Starship Force 2000
R-Type Final - Starship Force 3000
Rygar: The Legendary Adventure - Greek Warrior Quest
Shinobi - Ninja Man: Action Fighting!
Contra Shattered Soldier - Cyborg Soldier Fighters In The Future!
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Mobster Mania: 1986
Silpheed: The Lost Planet - Mega Space Fighter Attack
Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven - Sneaky Ninja Attack 3
Maximo: Ghosts To Glory - Swordsman's Supernatural Adventure
Valis - Swordgirl: Evil Fighter
El Viento - Boomerang Girl Adventures
MUSHA - Flying Robot Attack

I wonder what they've done lately, to tell you the truth...

[josekortez]

Funny, I was talking to another guy in EB last night about Castle Shikigami 2, and he told me how much he loved it. I picked up a copy of Mobile Light Force 2 and told him that was the prequel. He was amazed as he stared at the Charlie's Angels rip-off on the cover...
