Coming up with a good title for a new work is hard. No wonder so many people just take the lazy way out and just stick a number on the end. Of course, if you're really lazy, you could not bother with even the number, let alone a subtitle, and give the latest release in your series the same name as an earlier one — usually, the first installment, which will typically also be the series name. A variation includes (de-)pluralizing the previous title, or dropping the adjectives. Fans will typically give the later work a Fan Nickname. Recycling titles became very common in the mid and late 2000s, and often include remakes, where the new work is explicitly a new version of the previous work. Re-imaginings, such as when a video game is released with significantly different versions on consoles and handhelds at the same time and with the same title, are borderline. Preventing the trademark from expiring may also be a factor. Often used when it might be embarrassing for the producers to admit how many times they've milked this particular Cash-Cow Franchise. It may also be an attempt to bring in newcomers who don't want to catch up with all the past installments, since a title like Hero Spies IV: Avenging the Aftermath sounds like it might leave non-fans lost. A Super-Trope to Title Drop Anthology, where the title from one of the stories is used to name the anthology. See also Similarly Named Works, which is when two or more entirely unrelated works happen to share the same title. |

Samurai Shodown: The first game and the 2019 game are both titled Samurai Shodown. The series had a trilogy of 3D games during the late 90s. These were, Samurai Shodown 64 and Samurai Shodown 64: Warrior's Rage for the arcade, which both ran on the Hyper Neo-Geo 64 hardware, and Samurai Shodown: Warrior's Rage for the PlayStation. To avoid confusion, the last two are called Samurai Shodown 64 Part II and Samurai Shodown: Warrior's Rage. In addition, there were two Samurai Shodown games for Neo Geo Pocket: Samurai Shodown! and Samurai Shodown! 2 (the exclamation marks are part of their titles). |

Battletoads - The original NES game, the Game Boy game, and the 1994 arcade game (which is sometimes referred to as Super Battletoads or Battletoads Arcade). To make matters more confusing, there was a second Game Boy game titled Battletoads in Ragnarok's World, which was actually a port of the NES version. Aditionally, Dlala Studios' Battletoads 2020 reuses the original title as well. | |

Mega Man (the original series) - Differentiating the numbered NES and Game Boy titles can get a bit tricky. With the exception of the first Game Boy game, which was subtitled Dr. Wily's Revenge, all the sequels used Roman numerals on their title screens,◊ until Capcom began unifying the title logos with Mega Man 8, and onward. Fan communities generally use Arabic numerals for the NES versions (due to the logos used on their packaging art, which are designed differently from the title screen versions) and Roman numerals for their Game Boy counterparts. This was never an issue in Japan, where the Rockman sequels on the Famicom used Arabic numerals and subtitles (e.g. Rockman 2: Dr. Wily no Nazo), whereas the Game Boy versions were actually part of a separate spinoff brand titled Rockman World. | |

Fire Emblem alone could refer to either, the original 1990 Famicom game, or the seventh entry released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Technically speaking both games had their own subtitles: Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light for the former and Blazing Blade for the latter; but the first game in the series is often referred to without a subtitle, mainly due to the fact that it's the first game, but also because the subtitle was added to the game at the last minute and Nintendo never established an official Japanese reading, resulting in debates whether it should be Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Ken or Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi (Ken and Tsurugi are both possible readings for the kanji character for sword). As for the Blazing Blade, it was the first entry to get an English-localized release and thus, Nintendo omitted the subtitle for its overseas versions. The subtitle Blazing Blade was later added in reference guides, which is a direct translation of the Japanese Rekka no Ken subtitle. | |

Hokuto no Ken alone could refer to the manga, the anime TV series and the 1986 anime movie adaptation, as well as various videogames based on the franchise including a 1986 adventure game for the PC 8801, two side-scrolling action games also released in 1986 (one for the Sega Mark III and the other for the Famicom), the 1995 "interactive anime" game for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation, and the 2005 fighting game released for the Atomiswave arcade hardware (the later PS2 port added a lenghthy subtitle to avoid confusion). Note that Hokuto no Ken 2 for the Famicom was localized simply as Fist of the North Star on the NES. This title would also be used for the 2005 fighting game in regions outside Japan. Hokuto no Ken: Shin Seikimatsu Kyuseishu Densetsu, a 1989 side-scrolling action game for the Mega Drive, is not to be confused with the similarly titled Hokuto no Ken: Seikimatsu Kyuseishu Densetsu, a 3D action game released in 2000 for the original PlayStation. Seikimatsu Kyuseishu Densetsu (Legend of the Post-Apocalyptic Savior) is sometimes used as a subtitle for the anime. |

May also apply to The G.G. Shinobi for the Game Gear, which was simply titled Shinobi on the American cover art (but still kept the original title in the actual game). Also applies to The Revenge of Shinobi, which was the title of the 1989 Sega Genesis sequel to the original Shinobi, and an unrelated Game Boy Advance game released in 2002 to cash-in on the above-mentioned PS2 version. | |

Power Rangers has started reusing episode titles about Once a Season since the 17th season: "Three's a Crowd" was used in both Power Rangers Wild Force and Power Rangers RPM. "Something Fishy" is both a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode and a Power Rangers Samurai episode. In the closest air date gap to date (4 years), "End Game" was the penultimate Power Rangers RPM episode and the season one finale for Power Rangers Megaforce. "A Date with Danger" was a Dating Catwoman episode of Power Rangers in Space and a Two-Person Love Triangle episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge. The abbreviation of PRNS is used for both 2003's Power Rangers Ninja Storm and 2017's Power Rangers Ninja Steel. PRMF just barely escapes this due to Megaforce being only one word in the 2013 series. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder had an episode called "Game On" and Power Rangers Beast Morphers had one called "Game On!". Interestingly, both were about video games coming to life, but the former also had Trapped in Another World qualities as well. A mere five episodes after its first reused title, Beast Morphers reuses yet another title from a previous season, this time taking "Boxed In" from Samurai. Power Rangers Dino Fury nabs the title "Ancient History" from RPM, making it the first time the series has reused multiple titles originating from the same season. |

Strider could refer to: the 1989 arcade game by Capcom, the NES version released during the same year based on the Moto Kikaku manga, or the 2014 reboot by Double Helix. Strider II, the 1990 Tiertex-developed home computer sequel to Strider, is not to be confused with the similarly titled Strider 2 (aka Strider Hiryu 2), the 1999 Capcom-developed arcade sequel. The former was remade for Sega Genesis and Game Gear under the U.S. title of Journey From Darkness: Strider Returns. |

Guardians of the Galaxy is a 1990 comic series. A second comic series started in 2008, considered Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 2, followed by a 2013 series and a 2014 series of the same name. Guardians of the Galaxy is a 2014 movie based on the vol. 2 series. The sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, may be a Shout-Out to how the comic series is referred to as Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 2 to distinguish it from the 1990 comic series. | |

In Japan, the games known in the west as Castlevania (the NES one), Vampire Killer (MSX2), Haunted Castle (arcade) and Super Castlevania IV (SNES) are all titled Akumaj� Dracula, as was the X68000 game later ported to the PlayStation as Castlevania Chronicles. The MSX2 version, which was released only a month after the Famicom version, is the one version that most closely resembles it too, having the same character designs and similar levels, but has a different weapon/item system and is more focused on exploration. The arcade version came out a bit later in 1988 and only vaguely resembles the original versions, with a new plot involving the rescue of Simon Belmont's bride, despite sharing the same promotional art. The Super Famicom and X68000 versions are more conventional remakes of the Famicom original, despite the former being marketed as a sequel to the NES trilogy outside Japan. | |

Mortal Kombat - The 1992 original and the 2011 reboot. Official sources (such as Netherrealm Studios's Twitter account) tend to call the latter "Mortal Kombat 9" in social media, as there were three subtitled sequels after Mortal Kombat 4 on consoles (Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon), as well as a crossover (Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe), which they count as "Mortal Kombat 8". The upcoming twelth installment will be titled Mortal Kombat 1 (much to the dismay of fans and wiki editors that used "Mortal Kombat 1" for disambiguation purposes when referring to the original 1992 title). | |

Doom - The original 1993 DOS game and the 2016 soft reboot are both simply known as Doom, though the latter was initially developed as Doom 4. Doom Eternal officially refers to the 1993 game as just "Doom" and the 2016 game as "Doom (2016)" in in-game collectibles, and this wiki follows suit. | |

You Don't Know Jack - The original was released in 1995. It had its share of sequels and expansion packs, then it laid low for about eight years until a new one was released in 2011 with the same name as the original. Most fans just append "2011" to the name. | |

There were two games simply titled Dragon Ball Z. The first was an arcade-exclusive fighting game by Banpresto released in 1993 and the other was the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, a console game released in 2002. The two sequels to Budokai were simply titled Dragon Ball Z2 and Dragon Ball Z3 in Japan as well, which led to the mistaken belief that Toei or Toriyama quietly made sequels to the DBZ anime without annoucing it for the west when both titles starting showing up listed on Japanese shopping sites. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series were both simply called Star Trek when they first aired. Star Trek (2009) also went by Star Trek when it was released, but there isn't a consensus unofficial name for it. Fans are calling it Star Trek 11 or Star Trek 2009 to differentiate it. To remedy this, some releases have called it Star Trek: The Future Begins. There was a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "First Contact" and a Next Generation movie called Star Trek: First Contact. There was also a Star Trek: Lower Decks episode called "First First Contact" and a Star Trek: Prodigy episode called "First Con-tact". There was a Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Nemesis" and a Next Generation movie called Star Trek: Nemesis. Lower Decks was inspired by the Next Generation episode "Lower Decks". The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiere is called "Strange New Worlds". Strange New Worlds was also the name of a book series released once a year from 1998-2007(with an 11th book released as an ebook in 2016) that was a collection of Star Trek fan fiction short stories submitted as part of a contest. Also, there was a Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "Strange New World". |

Three Kamen Rider series in a row have an early episode named "The Mysterious Rider." (Your translation may vary; "nazo" gets translated as "mysterious" on some lists but "enigmatic" on others. The Japanese phrasing is identical the same in all three cases, though; they just straight-up used the exact same name three seasons in a row.) | |

Bionic Commando - the arcade, NES and Game Boy versions were released in Japan under the titles of Top Secret, Hitler no Fukkatsu: Top Secret (The Resurrection of Hitler) and Bionic Commando, in that order. Only the third one could be considered a port, since it's based on the NES version, which was more of a sequel/spinoff of the original arcade version than a port. Later, Capcom commissioned the development of another sequel in 2009 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 simply titled Bionic Commando as well. | |

Batman, a film adaptation of the Adam West TV series, is not to be confused with the Tim Burton movie also called Batman. To differentiate between the two, the Adam West film is usually called "Batman the Movie" (since it's based on the TV series), while the Tim Burton film is simply called Batman. And then you have the two B&W serial adventures, 1943's Batman, which shares the same title as the two movies above (and is sometimes called "The" Batman to differentiate) as well as 2022's The Batman, and 1949's Batman & Robin, which has the same title as the 1997 Clooney film. | |

It is the third Heathcliff animated series, but the only one that was simply called Heathcliff.

Could be said to be a remake, since the first four stages of the GB game are based on the arcade, but the mechanics are changed and there's about 96 more levels after that.

Devil May Cry - The Alternate Continuity "reboot" developed by Ninja Theory is titled DmC: Devil May Cry, with its subtitle being the name of its parent franchise. Taking the acronym into consideration, it can be interpreted as "Devil may Cry: Devil May Cry". According to behind-the-scenes sources such as page 222 of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook, the redundant and recycled subtitle was added as a workaround because the game was originally meant to be titled as just DmC, yet it's not possible to trademark a three-letter title. | |

Several non-sequel movies in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe are just called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" or "TMNT"; some TV incarnations do the same. The 1987 animated series are themselves an example in America, but not in Europe, where the 1987 series was called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles for because British law forbade the word "ninja" in children's programming. The 2003 and 2012 cartoons are both called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles everywhere. |

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is an unusual example of this. The Japanese name of the series is Ryu ga Gotoku, which translates to "Like a Dragon", so the English title is recycling the title of the first game for its subtitle in a roundabout way (the Japanese title is Ryu ga Gotoku 7: Hikari to Yami no Yukue, meaning Like a Dragon 7: The Whereabouts of Light and Darkness). | |

DanceDanceRevolution - Not counting ports, there's the 1998 arcade original, the US-exclusive PlayStation release (which used the DanceDanceRevolution 3rdMIX engine and featured songs from 1st through 3rdMIX), the 2010 version for consoles (namely PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii). The 2013 arcade release, with the year sometimes appended as a Fan Nickname to avoid confusion with the original 1998 release. Similarly, the 2013 versions of Guitar Freaks and DrumMania are simply called GITADORA, a common Fan Nickname for the long-running series. | |

Metal Gear Solid - Only outside Japan, where Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (released for the Game Boy Color in 2000) was simply titled Metal Gear Solid in the west.

Double Dragon - There has been various conversions of the original 1987 Double Dragon arcade game, with some of them differing significantly from the arcade original, most notably the NES version (which was a reworked port that slightly changed the plot), but the 1995 Neo-Geo version of the same name was not one of them, being instead a one-on-one fighting game loosely based on the live-action Double Dragon (1994) movie. | |

Serenity is the most overworked title around: it's The Movie, the pilot episode, the ship, and the comic miniseries (later reprinted with the subtitle "Those Left Behind").

Adventure Island is either, the export title of the Takahashi Meijin no B�ken Jima series (which translates "Master Takahashi's Adventure Island", making the English title more or less a direct translation) or the Japanese title for Dragon's Curse, a TurboGrafx-16 game, both games produced by Hudson Soft with ties to Sega/Westone's Wonder Boy series. The original Adventure Island on the NES was a port of the first Wonder Boy with the title and main character changed to get around Sega's ownership of the IP, but its sequels were completely original games not based on anything that came before. Hudson Soft would instead develop graphically-altered ports of the Wonder Boy sequels on the TG16 under a variety of titles, with Dragon's Curse being based on Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, which was originally a Master System game. | |

Ninja Gaiden: The arcade and NES versions, both released in 1988, were completely different games, the former being a side-scrolling beat-'em-up and the latter an action-platformer similar to the Castlevania series. There were also licensed conversions for the Sega consoles: the 1991 Game Gear version and the 1992 Master System were completely different games, but both patterned after the NES version, while the canceled 1992 Mega Drive version was a beat-'em-up similar to the arcade game. Eventually Team Ninja rebooted the series on the original Xbox in 2004 with yet another game simply titled Ninja Gaiden, this time as a 3D action game. Note that this time, the trope only applies to the North American market; in all other markets the term "Ninja Gaiden" only ever applied to the later reboot series by Team Ninja. The original arcade and 2D games were titled Ninja Ryūkenden in Japan and Shadow Warriors in Europe. Likewise, there are also installments named Ninja Gaiden II and Ninja Gaiden III for both the NES and 3D action series.note Although the 3D series opts for the title "Ninja Gaiden 3" without the Roman numeral However the NES games were also given subtitles (The Dark Sword of Chaos and The Ancient Ship of Doom, respectively). |

One puzzle was "Let's Pick Up Where We Left Off" ("Let's" / pickaxe + cup / wh + air / "we" / arrow pointing left / light switch turned to "off"), then two years or so later he had "Pick Up Where We Left Off." The same clues (apart from leaving off the word "Let's") were used. | |

Furthermore, the Doctor Who Expanded Universe previously included the short story "Roses" (also just one letter off), a prequel to "The Five Doctors" where the First Doctor ruminates on his granddaughter Susan (whose English and Gallifreyan names both mean "rose"). | |

The Western localisations of the Choro Q franchise got hit with this hard. All of the games prior to the release of Road Trip Adventure were simply known as "Penny Racers", and three entirely different games were all given the title of "Gadget Racers" in Europe. Pair that with the fact that this name was also used for two entirely different games in the US and you get a whole heap of confusion, as this video points out. | |

Contra - In Japan, Operation C, which was a sequel to the NES versions of Contra and Super C released for the Game Boy, is simply titled Contra. However, the Japanese spelling is actually different. Whereas the original arcade game and its Famicom conversion had the title spelled with three kanji characters that phonetically spelled Kontora (é‚æ–—ç¾…), the Game Boy version uses katakana instead (コントラ), which is the more conventional style to render foreign names and words in Japanese. In Europe, Probotector could refer to the first NES game, the Game Boy game, and the Mega Drive game. The NES sequel, Probotector II: Return of the Evil Forces, is not to be confused with Probotector 2, which was the Game Boy port of Super Probotector: Alien Rebels. |

Gradius 2 itself is called Nemesis 2 in Europe...and there's the Game Boy installment known as Nemesis II in Japan and Europe, albeit subtitled The Return of the Hero in Europe (but titled Gradius: The Interstellar Assault in North America). |

EarthBound - Nintendo of American planned to localize the original Mother for the NES under the title of Earth Bound (spelled as two words) in 1991, but then canceled it so they could focus all their marketing budget on the launch of the Super NES. They would reuse that title for the English version of Mother 2, spelling it as one word (EarthBound) instead of two. When the NES prototype was leaked in the late 1990's, certain ROM hacks had the title screen altered to EarthBound Zero to distinguish it from its SNES sequel. When the original Mother was finally released on the Wii U Virtual Console, it was given the title of EarthBound Beginnings overseas. | |

Similar to the below example of the 2015 Need for Speed game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sounds like a retread of a previous Call of Duty installment but, in reality, there was never a game simply titled "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" (the original "modern warfare" game was titled "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", while there was an Updated Re-release titled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered"). Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a straighter example, only really being distinguished by the 2009 game by using roman numerals instead of a simple 2. | |

Dragon Ball Z The first theatrical Dragon Ball Z movie was simply titled Dragon Ball Z, without any subtitle to distinguish it from the eponymous TV series. The movie's tagline, "Ora no Gohan o Kaese" (Gimme Back My Gohan), is often used by Japanese fans as a subtitle, despite the fact that it was never used in such capacity by Toei. In the U.S., the movie was titled Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone. There were two games simply titled Dragon Ball Z. The first was an arcade-exclusive fighting game by Banpresto released in 1993 and the other was the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, a console game released in 2002. The two sequels to Budokai were simply titled Dragon Ball Z2 and Dragon Ball Z3 in Japan as well, which led to the mistaken belief that Toei or Toriyama quietly made sequels to the DBZ anime without annoucing it for the west when both titles starting showing up listed on Japanese shopping sites. |

Mega Man: Mega Man (the original series) - Differentiating the numbered NES and Game Boy titles can get a bit tricky. With the exception of the first Game Boy game, which was subtitled Dr. Wily's Revenge, all the sequels used Roman numerals on their title screens,◊ until Capcom began unifying the title logos with Mega Man 8, and onward. Fan communities generally use Arabic numerals for the NES versions (due to the logos used on their packaging art, which are designed differently from the title screen versions) and Roman numerals for their Game Boy counterparts. This was never an issue in Japan, where the Rockman sequels on the Famicom used Arabic numerals and subtitles (e.g. Rockman 2: Dr. Wily no Nazo), whereas the Game Boy versions were actually part of a separate spinoff brand titled Rockman World. The DOS versions of Mega Man and Mega Man 3 were not ports of the NES games, but original games, making the absence of a DOS version of Mega Man 2 even more puzzling. There was also a Game Gear game simply titled Mega Man that drew mostly from Mega Man 4 and 5 Mega Man X - The two Mega Man Xtreme spinoffs were titled Rockman X: Cyber Mission and Rockman X2: Soul Eraser in Japan. Which makes sense, since they are more or less straight ported-down versions of Mega Man X 1-3 with a new story. |

The Muppets, the 2011 movie, is not to be confused with The Muppet Movie. Or The Muppets, the 2015 series. Or The Muppets, the cast of characters. Good luck trying to use it in a sentence. | |

The 2017 movie based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic recycles the older title My Little Pony: The Movie which was later adapted into My Little Pony 'n Friends. It's actually quite understandable when you consider the two movies are 30 years apart from each other. | |

The Transformers franchise has used the title Transformers: Robots in Disguise both for the American title of a 2000 anime and a 2015 cartoon set in the same continuity as Transformers: Prime. Between those two, there was a comic set in G1 continuity released call The Transformers: Robots in Disguise. None are related to any of the others, though interestingly, both television series have 'cons with beast modes as the primary enemies, and a green version of Grimlock who speaks in full sentences (mind you, 2000 Grimlock was a Grimlock In Name Only.) | |

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a sequel to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II (2002), itself a sequel to Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit (1998). Confused? Criterion Games seems to have a penchant for doing this with regard to their NFS entries. The NFS game for 2012 is called Most Wanted, which is the same as the 2005 installment. The 2015 Need for Speed reboot is actually the 21st game in the series since the 1994 3DO game (although this is more like a Subverted Trope since there has never been a game simply called "Need for Speed" in the series history, the original game being titled Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed or simply The Need for Speed; the only other thing in the franchise simply named "Need for Speed" to date has been the 2014 movie). |
