I Am Not Shazam/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** This was apparently retconned to change "Metroid" into a Chozo word meaning "great warrior", and used to describe Samus as well as the species.

** Perpetuated in the animated series [[Captain N the Game Master]] where [[Big Bad|Mother Brain]]'s hideout was called "Planet Metroid" instead of Planet Zebeth.

* The main character of ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' is not named Kid Icarus; it's Pit. This made its way into at least one adaptation, ''[[Captain N the Game Master]]'', although ''Captain N'' really [[They Just Didn't Care|wasn't trying very hard]].

** [[Non-Indicative Name]]. Nintendo of America was clearly struggling to come up with a title that would give some idea of what the game was about without being too unwieldy. (For the record, the original Japanese title is "Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami", which references the goddess Pit is trying to rescue, not the hero himself.)

** Even better -- pretty much every country that bought the 4Kids version were apparently ''told'' to use the "Sonic X" name for the character (in promotional materials, ads, etc.. Not in the series itself). And pronouncing "X" in English, no less.

* [[Halo]] refers to the massive ringworld superweapons, not the main character who's generally referred to as Master Chief.

** Oh, and Master Chief isn't his name either; it's his rank: Master Chief Petty Officer.

* ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox]]'' refers to the mercenary team from the game, not its leader, Fox McCloud.
