> Nikke: Goddess of Victory.

Oh, that's funny. The Goddess of Victory is Nike.[1] But the game people are probably scared of the shoe company that uses the same name.

There was also the famous Nike anti-aircraft missile, once deployed around major American cities.[2]

To their defense, Nikke reads much closer to the original Greek name than Nike.
