I just thought it’d be hilarious if a dev named their game, like, “Warhound 2” or something when there was never an original “Warhound” lol (and like, do so seriously, not just as a parody or joke, at least primarily so).
Breath of Death VII does not have any prequels.
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen was subtitled part 5, as Ogre Battle was intended to be a 7 part series, but only 4 games got released.There is this Game called Apidya
According to the Creators they named the Game Apidya 2 to provide some exitement.
Very good Game with Music by Chris Huelsbeck.
Goonies 2 on NES, the original Goonies was Famicom only and never made its way to the NES console.
Not a game but there’s an Spanish movie called “Vivancos 3: if you like it we’ll do the first two”. It was a flop so…
Vivancos 3
The imdb rating of 3.9 for a movie that is not porn is quite incredible, I’m almost tempted to watch it.
Ouch!
Connect Four.
lol, touché…
DOTA 2. The original DOTA is a custom map for Warcraft 3 (Defense of the Ancients).
TIL what DOTA stands for
Does BattleBit Remastered count? There was never a released game called BattleBit, and it was named that as a joke by the devs, because of how many times they had to redo things.
Oh yeah, that’s true!!! I never played it but saw gameplay and do know of it!
Dune 2 came out shortly after a completely unrelated Dune game by a different studio, with the 2 added just so people could distinguish them.
Goat simulator 3 exists, despite there being no Goat simulator 2.
This is what came to mind for me too.
It is so much fun to play co-op with my kid. Then I can act old and describe all the gaming industry references that only I get.
I’ve also been to Sweden two whole times, so I get to act all sophisticated and worldly while describing the real world Goatenburg.
I mean, team fortress two was the first game in the series. Team fortress “1” having been a mod for a different game.
Team Fortress Classic was the first stand alone game in the series, sold as its own thing if we’re not gonna count the original Quake mod.
Same with DOTA
For a long time, I thought Street Fighter 2 was one such game.
There is no “Street Fighter” home console release. It was arcade only, and wasn’t even popular outside of Japan.
Pardon the all caps, the games name is in all caps and is a 3 not 2

Ohhhh. I had no idea. I assumed it was just for the bit. I just picked up 3, so I guess I’ll need to go play the first two before I dive into it.
Not a game, but the movie ‘Troll 2’, the worst rated movie on IMDB, was named such without an original with the hopes to give it more “legitimacy”
Although the movie was titled “Troll 2” to capitalize on the minor success of Troll (1986), it has no connection to the plot or production of the earlier film.
Seems like one of those situations where they shoehorned their script into an existing franchise. They did that a lot with horror movies.
Quest 64 exists despite Quest 63, Quest 62, … Quest not existing.
This is half the N64’s library, and the console itself!
Reminded me of ClayFighter 63⅓
Not quite the same, but there is a game called Zwei!! (German for two). Its sequel is just called Zwei II, though.
Oh, I’ve played Zwei II: The Ilvard Insurrection. Its music is absolutely fantastic. The game is called “Zwei!!” because the gameplay has you constantly toggle between two protagonists with markedly different fighting styles, entirely referencing the gameplay with no intention to “skip” “Ein.” I couldn’t tolerate the first one, but give the second a go sometime if you ever come across a copy! The band jbl behind Falcom is truly incredible; you can hear the main theme manifest repeatedly in so many diverse, cool ways throughout the soundtrack.
Two two!
Reminds me of Manos: Hands of Fate. Manos means hands In Spanish
There exists a fantastic German metalcore band called “We Butter The Bread With Butter”, a name I always found to be funny. You don’t have to know anything about them except that they are awesome.
They are so good that have several tribute bands. One of them is from their home town and they are called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not We Butter The Bread With Butter”. I always found that to be absurdly hilarious.
My point is, it’s 2026 and the Germans are finally developing a sense of humor. I for one think that’s better.
Entshuldigung, woher ist den ausfahrt?
Sorry, if you think Loriot or Dürrenmatt are not funny, that’s simply your loss.
