Whether sourced from disc or eShop, the name comes from /usr/title/000500e/restoftitleID/meta/meta.xml (if the title has an update installed) or /usr/title/0005000/restoftitleID/meta/meta.xml if there is no update.
  • Find your game's TitleID using that title keys site, WiiU USB Helper, or Title Database
  • Use the App Store app or web site to get the ftpiiu_everwhere version that's compatible with your CFW/sig patcher.
  • Run ftpiiu_everwhere on your WiiU, and connect to it using an FTP client like WinSCP or Filezilla on your PC.
  • Navigate to the path/file above and transfer it to your PC
  • Edit meta.xml using an editor that won't change the end-of-line type, e.g. Notepad++
  • Look for the title's longname and change at least the entry for your language
  • Save and upload the file
  • Restart the WiiU or switch users (you can change several titles before doing so, if you want)
Thoughts:
Be careful. I suspect that the icon will just show ??? if you mess up the XML, but I'm not going to try it just to find out.
If you use out-of-region games you could add (EUR) (US) or (JP) to the end
Maybe add a * at the end of a name to denote that you need signature patches for those titles that do.
Make sure you use &lt; &amp; &gt; &quot; and &apos; for < & > " ' , e.g. Pirate&apos;s Curse

So I just tried this and it works perfectly until you update the game. Do you know where the update file might be or why changing the meta.xml file won't change the displayed name after updating?
