Move to "Galaga"
Neutral, leaning towards support: Both names are valid, but reasons for why I'm more for Galaga is that it's the more popular name to refer to the entire series in general, the only piece of content from the series to receive major representation is the Boss Galaga item, which comes from Galaga (Additionally, the item's spirit even lists its series as "Galaga Series"), and when comparing how many times both names were used, I have found 14 titles that used the Galaga name, whereas I could only find 6 that use the Galaxian name (the ones that were released, anyway). To prove my point:
- Installments that use the Galaxian name:
- Galaxian
- Galaxian 2
- Galaxian3: Project Dragoon
- SD Gundam Over Galaxian
- Galaxian Fever
- Galaxian Mini
- Installments that use the Galaga name:
- Galaga
- Galaga '88
- Galaga Arrangement (Arcade)
- Galaga: Destination Earth
- Galaga Arrangement (PlayStation Portable; a different game than the one above)
- Galaga Legions
- Galaga Remix
- Galaga Legions DX
- Galaga 30th Collection
- Galaga Kai
- Galaga: Special Edition
- Space Galaga
- Galaga Wars
- Mass Destruction VR Shooting: Galaga Fever
Keep in mind that I excluded Galaga & Galaxian from both lists because, well, it literally uses both names in the title.
