Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol (lemmy.zip)

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).

Not quite the same, but there is a game called Zwei!! (German for two). Its sequel is just called Zwei II, though.

    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?

    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.
