6 EXTREMEly overused game titles

The most ULTIMATE, SUPER cliches ever UNLEASHED

Ever notice you never see movies or books throw “Super” in front of any of their sequels? Historically, only games, water pistols and 1950’s vacuum cleaners lob this prefix onto new products with this kind of reckless abandon. But you can’t really blame the Super Nintendo, since most companies adopted the practice voluntarily as an act of kingly fealty.

1. Did not know about a DS Assassin's Creed.

2. Loved how super was only applied to SNES games because Nintendo was "Super" back then.

You guys spelled Cabella as Caleb. Have you never heard of the sports company? I guess it's an easy mistake because of the hard to read font. For ultimate, I'm pretty sure that there is also an aracde game called Killer Instinct Ultimate. Don't quote me on that though.

Sorry for the double post, but you guys forgot about the Mario games for Super and Party. You know, Super Mario Bros. and Mario Party. I guess Nintendo is kind of stuck with that because changing names would cause confusion.

Only 2 of the party games are not for Nintendo systems, lol.

Oh and to number 1, Super Battleship was a Genesis title >>;

the only one of these that really bothers me is chronicles. and super. and party. hell, all of them. but really, chronicles is the worst, it implies some sort of story canon that i have to be familiar with to play the game.
