Where they had subtitles for at least one game, but then went back to a number system

For example
Luigi's Mansion
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Luigi's Mansion 3

SSX
SSX Tricky
SSX 3

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

It's actually known as "Luigi's Mansion 2" in some regions.

Mortal Kombat X lol

I think Deadly Alliance was the last one that referenced the number in the title.

And it also makes MKvsDC an officially numbered MK game which I think is hilarious <_<

Also, Mortal Kombat.

After MK4, there were subtitles with no numbers, up until MK9 as just "Mortal Kombat", and then Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11.

I dont think Grand Theft Auto or Fallout count, since they eventually do go back to using the next number every now and then.

Does Kingdom Hearts count? they have more titles with subtitles than they have with numbered entries.

No, because they still have 1, 2, and 3

What about Mario Kart? They didnt use numbers until MK7.

Unless you count MK64, in which case they skipped the first 63.

Grand Theft Auto just started with 3. Then the second was Vice City and third was San Andreas. So finally they caught up and called the 4th game 4.

I believe TMNT IV was named with the final NES installment retroactively being named III.

Makes me wonder what they'll call the actual 64th entry years down the line.

The Ys series is a weird one, in that it originally had two games with 4 in their title, but neither was made by the original developers and both have been retconned away by a non-numbered remake (the third game has also had this treatment), so it either skips 4 or uses it twice or both, depending on how you want to look at it.

They used Roman numerals on MK 5, 6 and 7.
