Are there any slang term for games that companies release simultaneously under slightly different titles with only slightly different content? I'm referring of course to games like the various Pokemon series (Red/Blue/Yellow, etc), and many handheld series that followed suit, such as the Mega Man Star Force games.
If such a term doesn't exist, we should invent one. I'm thinking something that works as a noun, is relatively short (ie, slang), does not tie it to any specific company, and reflects both the extreme similarity in the games as well as the blatant greed of the company that released them.
