Somehow this is the first time I've been made aware of this. And, like... why? It sounds to unnecessary and clunky to call it "The [name of game] game!" This has been lowkey bothering me for a while, and knowing it's because my country is apparently too dumb to know what a game is kinda stings.

They still do, at least Nintendo of America does. If you watch a UK Nintendo Direct you'll see that they just say "game" instead of "the [game] game" like in the US. Which means that they make the narrator record two versions of the same line every time he mentions the name of a Nintendo game.
