Line 203:
* ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', which consists of the [[Assassin's Creed (video game)|original game]], ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', and the upcoming ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''. Also includes a pair of sequels, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' to the second game.
* The three Compile-developed sequels to ''[[Puyo Puyo]]'' have puns on numbers. ''Tsū'', the Japanese word for expert, also sounds like the English word two; ''SUN'', when pronounced in English, sounds like the Japanese word for three; and the "yon" in ''Puyo Puyo~n'' means four.
* Namco [[Four Is Death|really, really didn't want to make a fourth game]] in the ''[[Ace Combat]]'' series. When they had to, it was only under condition that its number was padded to ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies]]''. They finally [[Stopped Numbering Sequels|gave it up]] after ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]''.
* ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)]]'' was followed by ''Gauntlet II'', ''Gauntlet: The Third Encounter'' and ''Gauntlet IV''. ''The Third Encounter'' is an oddball not only in title; it was only released for a handheld system, namely the [[Atari Lynx]].
* The ''[[Ys]]'' series had two different fourth installments produced concurrently: ''Ys IV: Mask of the Sun'' for the Super Famicom and ''Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys'' for the [[TurboGrafx-16]]. Only the former seems to be canonical, though.
