** The later Game Boy version played this straight, as it lacked both the 2-player co-op mode ''and'' the final battle with Jimmy. However, this version does feature a one-on-one versus [[Mini Game]] via link cable where the second player controls Jimmy (which itself was a carry-over from the NES game).
** The arcade version of ''Double Dragon 3'' allowed up to three players simultaneously depending on the game's settings. The third player controls a previously-unseen/unmentioned Lee brother named Sonny, meaning that the titular duo became a trio. "Triple Dragon" apparently didn't have the same ring to it.
* Despite being based on the core gameplay elements of ''[[Painkiller (video game)|Painkiller]]'', the [[Running the Asylum|fan-developed]] [[Mission Pack Sequel]] ''Painkiller Overdose'' removes the titular Painkiller weapon (a weed whacker) and replaces it with the RazorCube (a cube that breaks into sharp pieces and [[Everything's Better with Spinning|spins around really fast]]).
* The 2008 reboot of ''[[Alone in the Dark]]'': You're not alone, and it's not dark [[Incendiary Exponent|because everything is on fire]]. Made especially ironic because the fire physics are the best part of the game. Subverted slightly (but no less ironically) when an upgraded version was given the subtitle 'Inferno'.
* In Europe, the early ''[[Contra]]'' games for home consoles were released under the title of ''Probotector''. This was because the European versions of the games replaced the original human commandos with robotic counterparts called "Probotectors" (a portmanteau of "robot" and "protector"), due to concerns from the German federal agency BPjM, which prohibited the sale of media deemed too violent for children, e.g. those that glorify or glamorise war (it also didn't help that the Iran-Contra Affair was still fresh on everyone's minds either). When the Game Boy installment of the series, ''Operation C'', was re-released in Europe as part of the ''[[Compilation Rerelease|Konami GB Collection]]'', it restored the original human main character, but still kept the ''Probotector'' title.
