I've been meaning to post this for about a week now, but has anybody else
seen the Etymology of Video Game Names blog going around called It's a
Secret to Everybody? The post includes detailed research into the naming
conventions behind dozens of games and franchises including Super Mario
Bros., Final Fantasy (apparently Square-Enix is obsessed with an obscure
1906 text on demons), The Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter, Metroid,
Earthbound and a whole bunch of others.

As a giant geek, I love seeing this kind of research into the deeper meaning
of games.
