How about something like..."April O'Neil (minor appearances)", which is a list of all of a character's minor appearances in video games and other licensed merchandise? If a character has a more significant role (like "April O'Neil (Tournament Fighters)"), that appearance can get a more dedicated article, like with more specific gameplay information (abilities, moves, etc.).

But right now I'm just bouncing ideas until something sticks.

It doesn't solve the problem. Instead, I would say:

1 = "1980's and 1990's videogames" (from the first NES game in 1988 ending with Tournament Fighters in 1993)

2 = "2000's videogames" (from the games released in the year 2003 ending with Turtles in Time: Re-Shelled and Smash-Up in 2009)

3 = "2010's  videogames" (starting with the 2013 " Out of the Shadows" ). If this third wave continues beyond 2020, we can change name to "2010's and 2020's videogames"
