I've seen these games around but know nothing about them... Since I'm too time-limited to look it up elsewhere, mind giving a quick summary/overview of what you think of the three?

Allow me to explain it to you, presumptuous one.
Let's use example A) Wanda and the Colussus. This was the original code name and I still prefer it today over the new Shadow of the Coloussus. Furthermore, anyone who I'm likely to speak to about it is going to recognize it by the development name. Obviously, this is not you.
Example B) Seiken Densetsu. This series benefits from calling it by its original and native name. Why? When Squaresoft ported the games to the United States, the name was changed (which isn't the problem), but the numbers were changed. Seiken Densetsu 3 is Secret of Mana 2. You will find that people with knowledge on the series will be more often using the name "Seiken Densetsu", due to its ease of use. I could go on for hours.
Example C) Rockman vs MegaMan. For starters, MegaMan sounds like a bad 70's superhero in my personal opinion. Secondarily, for developmental reasons. His name is Rock in Japan, which, shock, coincides with his sister's name - Roll. Maybe you've failed to notice in Rockman games the other characters that make cameo appearances? Such as Bass and Treble? Are we beginning to see a trend here?
Rock and Roll, Bass and Treble... put that one together yourself. The translation to MegaMan lost all connection to that throwback.
I appreciate you calling me stupid, but I would suggest you do a little more research and educate yourself on these matters. It doesn't take long. In fact, hey! I'll link you right to the very site that will answer all your questions.

Have fun.

I'll venture to say that it was a compliment.
And a great response too. I was also wondering why the names didn't match up. I for one am never interested in a game during it's developmental stages because I am afraid that I'd see something that I don't like and be turned off by the final version.

No, I just speak in the tongue I'm native to. Some of these names are just personal preference, some are actually housed in factuality.
Apology accepted.

Hey I don't understand that stuff either. I don't know or care about games before they're released and I don't want to know what the game is called in a language I don't know :lol
