* ''Sudden Attack 2'' advertised "stunning graphic quality." By which they meant Miya, who spent much of the trailer with the camera lovingly pointed at her rear end in short shorts. It was [[OvershadowedByControversy so over-the-top that even the players complained]], which was one of the factors (along with [[ScrewedByTheLawyers contract issues]]) that led to the game's early cancellation.

* ''VideoGame/BloodySpell'' is a rather generic Soulslike game, save for the ''huge'' variety of alternate skins you can swap your player character with, ''all of them'' whom are attractive, scantily clad woman. Your default PC is a swordsman, but after the first stage you can give him a gender-swap into a succubi, a hot nurse, a chick in a UsefulNotes/{{qipao}}, a femme fatale clad in a SpyCatsuit... a few online reviews even calls the game an "Outfit Simulator".

* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' is largely remembered for A) being a solid [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Musou game]] that celebrates everything about ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' up to that point and B) featuring the EvilIsSexy villainess Cia and her superb NavelDeepNeckline. The fact that most Nintendo properties, even spin-offs, rarely feature that risqué level of fanservice only helped matters.

* ''VideoGame/AtelierRyzaEverDarknessAndTheSecretHideout'' is one of the most well known and best-selling games in the long-running ''Atelier'' series despite being a newer entry. The reason for this is due to an extremely attractive female lead and her equally attractive compatriots. The attention Ryza's design brings to her thighs as well as the game flaunting its swimsuit dlcs prompted the game to receive accolades of fan art and numerous anime figures of Ryza, and a memetic nickname for her as "Thigza". Ironically, the game is actually TamerAndChaster than previous ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' titles in almost every other regard, lacking a {{Beach|Episode}} or HotSpringsEpisode and other {{Ecchi}} scenes, but that ended up mattering little due to Ryza's default design and her bikini dlc carrying over to all the game's cutscenes anyway.

* ''VideoGame/GoddessOfVictoryNikke'' is a ThirdPersonShooter RolePlayingGame with an in-depth storyline involving humanity's fight against alien machines that have taken control of the Earth's surface and forced mankind underground. You'd only know that if you've played or researched the game, though. Thanks to its SexSells advertising, most people are only aware of it as "that ass game" due to the [[MaleGaze camera perspective]] and [[JigglyPhysics animation]] lovely showcasing how the gun recoil affects your squadmates' shapely behinds.

** The sequel ended up giving the older Ryza longer legs and FashionableAsymmetry on her leggings that bring more attention to her thighs than previously, with the developers also hoping to invoke this trope in promotional art that shows Ryza in revealing outfits.

* Kanna from ''VideoGame/BlasterMasterZero2'' is disproportionately [[EnsembleDarkHorse more popular]] than anyone else in the game, or even the ''game itself''. The second's worth of screentime she made in the reveal trailer from the Nintendo Direct was enough for anyone who's into [[PlantPerson plant girls]] with GagBoobs to spontaneously generate fanart of questionable intent, regardless of whatever she's like or wherever she's from.

* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' is an iconic fighting game series by SNK that soon became ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', however the vast majority of people will likely only know both franchises through GagBoobs incarnate skimpy ninja girl Mai Shiranui, whose staggering popularity through {{Fanservice}} overshadows pretty much most other fighters. Even iconic poster boy Terry often struggles to compete with Mai when it comes to recognition simply because of the latter’s sex appeal.

* The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' series is very much this. The fact it’s a fantasy fighting game where you use weapons and play as characters from different nationalities and cultures is all drowned out by the very busty Ivy who’s DressedLikeADominatrix, whom along other attractive female characters are arguably why the series is as popular as it is. The fact that the [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]] was added to roster in the sixth entry only helps this notion.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has this, especially within the characters. This is because the game's actually deep and entrenched plot makes casual fans find it hard to enjoy the story, so players turn to the characters and mostly a lot of female characters that bared their backs a lot, or having really big and jiggly boobs. Ask people about Bullet, Makoto, Litchi, Nine the Phantom, Mai, and Es and- probably the first that comes to mind are their boobs (or in Bullet's case, her really really short pants). Which is rather egregious, since when you look past their assets, they are actually solid characters on their own with rounded personality and a strong story arc... yet it's those 'assets' that are highlighted a lot.



* ''Videogame/NierAutomata'', for those unfamiliar with the ''Franchise/{{Drakengard}}'' trilogy and ''VideoGame/NieR'', is mainly known for having a [[ThirdPersonSeductress very attractive]] RobotGirl as the player character and the fact that you can [[ClothingDamage blow off her clothing with a button prompt]] and expose her butt.



* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'':
** Tracer is known for one of two things: her butt and controversy to it at pre-release; or being the head honcho of the titular ''Overwatch'' and a well-rounded character. Either way, nobody is complaining one bit about it...
*** Also, the fact that she's a canonical lesbian got a ''lot'' of attention and generated [[BrokenBase even more controversy than her gameplay balance]].
** The other women in that game, like [[MsFanservice Widowmaker]] and D.Va, among others; also get caught up in a lot of risque fanart, with [[AscendedMeme Blizzard seeming to taking notice of this.]] [[FanworkBan They did not take it well, removing videos of rule 34 Overwatch characters at it.]] Of course, they might as well attempt to stop a waterfall by standing at the bottom of and trying to push the water back with their hands; ''Overwatch'' is one of THE most heavily-eroticised games in the history of the medium despite only being out for a few years. There's a reason why Wikipedia has an article about it.



* Inverted with various pornographic ''VideoGame/{{Qix}}'' knockoffs, where they're remembered more for their blatant copyright infringement and the women [[SurpriseCreepy turning into abominations]] such as [[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]] than the actual erotic content.
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
** The female characters in the games are pretty iconic, but they’re generally likely to be more remembered by their sexiness and often skimpy wardrobe rather than what they actually do in the games. Jill is an awesome character, but most will know her purely for wearing a tube top and miniskirt that one time in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 RE3]]'' or her wearing SensualSpandex in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 RE5]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations Revelations]]''. Claire is the heroine of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' and Chris’ sister but those traits to most people play second fiddle to her wearing booty shots or bending over a computer in tight denim. Ada Wong is biggest example of this though, she’s less remembered for her mysterious and layered role in ''[=RE2=]'' and much more remembered for running around in a red qipao dress that exposes her legs in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4]]''. Indeed Ada in particular has a massive FanArt following, despite being a periphery character in the series.
*** Fair to note this applies to the male characters as well, with Chris and [[https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2019/2/20/18209745/resident-evil-2-leon-s-kennedy-mr-x-sex-symbol especially Leon]] often being more regarded as sex symbols rather dudes who have to deal with horrific biomonsters for a living.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' introduces new kinds of monsters to the series, ranging from werewolves to cyborgs to an [[StatuesqueStunner extremely tall and curvaceous]] vampire lady with NaughtyNun daughters. Take a guess which of these gained memetic popularity.

* The ''VideoGame/ExaPico'' series is best known among non-fans for two things: its music, and the copious amounts of fanservice - bath towels and pajamas as costume choices, many bath scenes, and downright having the characters power up by stripping off their clothes! - and [[https://i.redd.it/z7toc8j4mpn41.png innuendo-laced dialogue]].



* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. While the game is iconic in many ways. Tifa Lockhart is one of the most notable characters in the entire series, part of it due to her attractive design and infamously large knockers. She got even more attention when a January 2022 ZOOM senate meeting was hacked and a NSFW SFM video of Tifa was shown which had fans adopt her as an unofficial icon of Italy.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2''. The plot? The GuideDangIt HundredPercentCompletion? The triumphant return of the Franchise/FinalFantasy Job System last seen in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''? It's all overshadowed by the girls' {{stripperiffic}} dresspheres.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' is known for a few things: For fighting game enthusiasts, its intensely face-paced, combo-heavy combat that codified "anime fighters". For series fans, its [[AwesomeMusic/GuiltyGear a ridiculously awesome soundtrack]] alongside its batshit crazy {{Animesque}} worldbuilding. For the rest, its outrageous character designs. You have among them {{Stripperific}} InnocentFanserviceGirl Dizzy, sadistic bra-less rocker witch I-No, Bridget, [[UnsettlingGenderReveal a girl who is actually a boy]] [[MemeticMutation that everyone is gay for]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} but is a girl now so it goes full circle]], and who could forget [[GagBoobs big titty]] [[EyepatchOfPower one-eyed]] HandicappedBadass samurai, Baiken?
** Regarding Baiken, she has one of the biggest case of [[BrokenBase disparity of fans]] between people who are familiar with ''Guilty Gear'' and people who aren't. To long-time GG players, Baiken is a character who's both [[DifficultButAwesome difficult to play]] and somewhat underpowered for the effort but also frustrating to play against because of her defensive options. She only received a ''massive'' surge in popularity after her FanservicePack upgrade in ''Xrd Rev 2'', and her most vocal fans tend to be people who aren't very knowledgeable on her playstyle, are beginners and/or are bad at playing her, or [[PeripheryDemographic don't play the game or touch the genre at all]]. She became the poster girl for a certain type of character that people main solely for "waifu" reasons, and it got so bad with Baiken that "Baiken Main" became a derogatory term.

* Even though the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' series is one of the most refined 3D fighting game franchises in the market on its own merits, the vast majority of the public only remember the female fighters' curvy model-esque bodies and JigglePhysics, for better or for worse. Of course, Tecmo isn't trying to mask it or anything. They ran straight to the endzone with that knowledge (and zero regret) when promoting ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jfzh2s3jlE Dead or Alive 3]]''. Even ''5'', which tried to tone down (and failed miserably) the "doll-like" features of their female fighters and make them more natural looking, offered all sorts of sexy incentives for preorders like fuzzy bunny bikini costumes and squishy mouse pads, and even going back to the roots later on in the game's lifecycle.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
** While most people can tell you it’s a HackAndSlash series, when it comes to specifics the layman will tell you it’s the one with the hot blonde in a corset (Trish) and the hot short dark-haired chick in a school girl outfit (Lady) running around. The laywoman will likely tell you it’s the one where you play as the hunky white haired pretty boy (Dante) with a sword.
** Trish and Lady fall steeply into this for ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 DMC4]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'', any relevance they have in the plot or actions they perform are simply drowned out for a good deal of fans by their JigglePhysics in the former and being naked and flashing their bare asses in the latter.

* ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'' is either about a more action-y take on one of the best known depictions of hell, and quite possibly being the first mass marketed media about the subject for a while, or it's about Lucifer's enormous schlong.
* VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} is a FightingGame with a roster of varied characters, but is mostly known for its provocative, scantily-dressed succubus Morrigan, and to a lesser extent the busty catgirl Felicia. Morrigan has appeared in nine of Capcom's crossover games, sometimes as the game's only representative, while other characters have only appeared in a few. She also dominates both promotional art and fanart of the franchise.
* Even though the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' series is one of the most refined 3D fighting game franchises in the market on its own merits, the vast majority of the public only remember the female fighters' curvy model-esque bodies and JigglePhysics, for better or for worse. Of course, Tecmo isn't trying to mask it or anything. They ran straight to the endzone with that knowledge (and zero regret) when promoting ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jfzh2s3jlE Dead or Alive 3]]''. Even ''5'', which tried to tone down (and failed miserably) the "doll-like" features of their female fighters and make them more natural looking, offered all sorts of sexy incentives for preorders like fuzzy bunny bikini costumes and squishy mouse pads, and even going back to the roots later on in the game's lifecycle.

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' is about a busty, drool-inducing, barely-clothed [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] who is sexier than sex, wanders the earth looking for a good time, and appears in most of [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Capcom's crossover titles]], [[SarcasmMode right]]?

* ''VideoGame/AtelierRyzaEverDarknessAndTheSecretHideout'' is one of the most well known and best-selling games in the long-running ''Atelier'' series. Why? An extremely attractive female lead and her equally attractive compatriots. Despite the game bringing several major improvements to gameplay and graphics, it's hard to talk about the game without someone mentioning Ryza's thighs or [[BoobsOfSteel Lila's chest]]. Ironically, the game is actually TamerAndChaster than previous ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' titles in almost every other regard, lacking a {{Beach|Episode}} or HotSpringsEpisode and other {{Ecchi}} scenes.
* ''VideoGame/TheBattleCats'' is a fast paced TowerDefense game that requires quick thinking and [[SurpriseDifficulty is quite difficult for a mobile game]]. What many players take in notice though is the many, ''many'' female Uber Rares present.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' is an extremely fluid, highly-refined BeatEmUp with some of the deepest combat mechanics ever put in a StylishAction game, and a distinctly over-the-top, gloriously {{Camp}} style that, between it and [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}} its sequel]], has earned an array of accolades, awards, and even a few coveted perfect scores. But the eponymous Bayonetta's SpyCatsuit is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Or the fact that her boss-slaying cutscenes leave her temporarily wearing nothing but GodivaHair. That and her extremely sensual and teasing personality just pushed the 'fanservice' factor even bigger.
* Since Creator/BioWare has, for the longest time, been the only major WesternRPG producer who consistently included {{Romance Sidequest}}s in their games, you'd be forgiven for thinking that that was all their games were about if you never played them. Curiously, you'd get that impression regardless of whether you listened to the detractors or to the die-hard fans.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bombergirl}}'' has gained a cult following outside of Japan namely through it cast of cute and/or sexy girls shifting from the cartoony robot characters from the classic ''Bomberman'' games more than the game itself (which isn't helped by the fact [[NoExportForYou it was never released outside of Japan]]), and one of its defining features involving seeing the girls [[ClothingDamage clothes being blown up]] when the player or team is defeated.

** The female characters in the games are pretty iconic, but they’re generally likely to be more remembered by their sexiness and often skimpy wardrobe rather than what they actually do in the games. Jill is an awesome character, but most will know her purely for wearing a tubetob and miniskirt that one time in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 RE3]]'' or her wearing SensualSpandex in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 RE5]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations Revelations]]''. Claire is the heroine of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' and Chris’ sister but those traits to most people play second fiddle to her wearing booty shots or bending over a computer in tight denim. Ada Wong is biggest example of this though, she’s less remembered for her mysterious and layered role in ''[=RE2=]'' and much more remembered for running around in a red qipao dress that exposes her legs in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4]]''. Indeed Ada in particular has a massive FanArt following, despite being a periphery character in the series.

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
** While most people can tell you it’s a HackAndSlash series, when it comes to specifics the layman will tell you it’s the one with the hot blonde in a corset (Trish) and the hot short dark-haired chick in a school girl outfit (Lady) running around. The laywoman will likely tell you it’s the one where you play as the hunky white haired pretty boy (Dante) with a sword.
** Trish and Lady fall steeply into this for ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 DMC4]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'', any relevance they have in the plot or actions they perform are simply drowned out for a good deal of fans by their JigglePhysics in the former and being naked and flashing their bare asses in the latter.



* ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' is a fun action JRPG with a CharacterCustomization that lets you kick ass in throughout Dragon Ball Z’s history. Though look at most places on online however and the series is generally more beloved by fans for the simple fact you can make as many sexy female Saiyans and female Majin Buus as you want without the need for [=DeviantArt=].



* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' is an iconic fighting game series by SNK that soon became ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', however the vast majority of people will likely only know both franchises through GagBoobs incarnate skimpy ninja girl Mai Shiranui, whose staggering popularity through {{Fanservice}} overshadows pretty much most other fighters. Even iconic poster boy Terry often struggles to compete with Mai when it comes to recognition simply because of the latter’s sex appeal.



* When talking about ''VideoGame/GothamKnights'' the general discourse from people is either a BrokenBase over whether or not the game is fun despite being a grind-heavy live service title or more commonly how wonderful Batgirl’s ass is in her batsuit. In fact so popular are Barbara’s buttocks, [[https://www.google.com.au/search?q=the+only+reason+to+play+gotham+knights&client=safari&hl=en-au&sxsrf=ALiCzsbtTFfskbc_4o0DPvK7ESUPt0jsVA%3A1670477438308&ei=fnaRY-SeEtmaseMPzeKduAc&oq=the+only+reason+to+play+gotham+knights&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAMyBAgjECcyBQghEKABOgoIABBHENYEELADOgcIIxCwAhAnOgQIIRAVOgcIIRCgARAKSgQIQRgAUK0PWNtEYI1JaAZwAHgAgAGhAogBphuSAQQyLTE1mAEAoAEByAEFwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp a good number of people cite her as the only reason to play the game at all]].



* ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' is a lesser known Capcom SurvivalHorror on the [=PS2=] and not too many people have played it. Most will however know it as the game where you play as the beautiful blonde with big breasts (that [[JigglePhysics jiggle]]) who runs around a castle in a short skirt. Actually justified for once though, as Fiona’s intentional sexualisation and fanservice is the whole point of the game, with it really being a horror psycho-sexual {{deconstruction}} of the MsFanservice in video games. For that reason some female gamers and critics defend use of the fanservice in the game.
* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' is largely remembered for A) being a [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Musou game]] and B) the EvilIsSexy villainess Cia and her superb NavelDeepNeckline. The fact that most Nintendo properties, even spin-offs, rarely feature that risqué level of fanservice only helped matters.



* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' is remembered for two things, being the much needed reboot to the series and moreover the one where every single female character has cleavage you can ski down and have more thongs than a beach in summertime. The fanservice (which has always been present) did get downplayed by the time of ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 MK11]]'' but it’s still as closely tied to the popularity of the series as the fatalities. Mileena in particular is more known being an incredibly curvaceous ninja girl than the fact she actually has ScaryTeeth behind her mask and is ironically supposed to be FanDisservice.



* A sad example with ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'' and its titular heroine Aya Brea. She’s a blonde FairCop ActionGirl who initially wasn’t particularly sexualised beyond wearing a stunning evening gown in the first level with the rest of the game focusing on plot rather titillation. However the two sequels (made by largely different people) dialled up the {{Fanservice}} and MaleGaze, giving her gratuitous shower scenes and infamously in ''VideoGame/TheThirdBirthday''’s case ludicrous ClothingDamage [[spoiler:made worse by the reveal you’re actually playing as underage girl in Aya’s body]]. Now when people bring the series in general discourse, they more likely remember Aya for being a MsFanservice rather then being a great JRPG protagonist.



* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' introduces new kinds of monsters to the series, ranging from werewolves to cyborgs to an extremely tall vampire lady with NaughtyNun daughters. Take a guess which of these gained memetic popularity.

* The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' series is very much this. The fact it’s a fantasy fighting game where you use weapons and play as characters from different nationalities and cultures is all drowned out by the very busty Ivy who’s DressedLikeADominatrix, whom along other attractive female characters are arguably why the series is as popular as it is. The fact that the aforementioned [[VideoGame/NierAutomata 2B]] was added to roster in the sixth entry only helps this notion.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' is the TropeCodifier of the FightingGame genre, but barring the in-depth players most people when discussing the series will more likely talk about how droolingly sexy a lot of the characters (both female and male) are. Chun-Li and Cammy are great characters who are very strong and have great combo gameplay, but they’re much more recognised for having curvaceous physiques worthy of Venus and having attire that best displays their T and A. It’s more than likely ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'' played a big part in turning Chun-Li in particular into a sex icon in the franchise going forward. This focus on fanservice over in-canon skill is also sadly why both Chun-Li and Cammy got a a good deal of BadassDecay, as Capcom put more emphasis on their sexiness and wardrobe rather than their ActionGirl abilities. As mentioned before though, this applies the male characters as well e.g the conversation about Ryu is more commonly about how devastatingly sexy he is with a beard or the fact you can see his dick print in the trailer for ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighter6 SF6]]'' rather than anything to do with his character.



* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' although iconic enough to be recognised on its own merits, the series is still nevertheless extremely popular thanks to super hottie female characters such as Nina, Anna, Christie, Asuka and Lili (particularly in Nina and Anna case it was simply due to the fact they were some the first women to be attractively rendered in CG doing the 3D games boom of the 90s). Nina, despite having no big importance in terms of the overall story of ''Tekken'', got her own spin-off game ''Death by Degrees'' purely through the strength of her character i.e the strength of the tight spandex covering her curvaceous body.



* ''Franchise/TombRaider'': Lara Croft has huge [[BuxomIsBetter guns]] - [[BaitAndSwitchComment oh, and pistols, too]]. A lot of people play the game through on all difficulty levels and get all the trophies-just to unlock the bikini costumes, and to angle the camera to get the best view of Lara's ass and boobs. Subverted with the [[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 2013 reboot]] and [[VideoGame/RiseOfTheTombRaider sequel]] due to her assets being toned down in the game's overall more realistic art style.

It's also possible [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep she has no name of her own]], as all women sold into slavery to the mutants are called "gals"]].
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. While the game is iconic in many ways. Tifa Lockhart is one of the most notable characters in the entire series, part of it due to her attractive design and [[{{Gainaxing}} infamously large knockers]].knockers. She got even more attention when a January 2022 ZOOM senate meeting was hacked and a NSFW SFM video of Tifa was shown which had fans adopt her as an unofficial icon of Italy.



* ''VideoGame/MagicalDrop'' is best remembered for The World, who is the scantily-clad mascot character with a [[{{Gainaxing}} bouncy victory animation]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Bombergirl}}'' has gained a cult following outside of Japan namely through it cast of cute and/or sexy girls shifting from the cartoony robot characters from the classic ''Bomberman'' games more than the game itself (which isn't helped by the fact [[NoExportForYou it was never released outside of Japan]]), and one of its defining features involving seeing the girls [[ClothingDamage clothes being blown up]] when the player or team is defeated. The game has spawned a number of fanart of the titular Bombergirls, some of which come in the [[RuleThirtyFour spicy]] variety, especially when it comes to [[NaughtyNuns Sepia]] [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont]], [[GoodLookingPrivates Olive]], [[GagBoobs Pine]], and [[VideoGame/QuizMagicAcademy Grim]] [[HornyDevils Aloe]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' is about a busty, drool-inducing, barely-clothed [[HornyDevils succubus]] who is sexier than sex, wanders the earth looking for a good time, and appears in most of [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Capcom's crossover titles]], [[SarcasmMode right]]? And sometimes people remember the FurBikini -clad CatGirl, whose motivation is becoming a star, and some kind of Chinese undead girl who has blue cleavage and attacks with... um... dunno. Morrigan's the sole Darkstalker in four games: ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000 Capcom vs. SNK]]'' ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium and its sequel]]'', ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes'', and ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom''; with Felicia tagging along in ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomMatchOfTheMillennium the other Capcom vs. SNK]]'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''. Demitri, who was [[WordOfGod the series' protagonist before he was displaced by Morrigan]], has only shown up in two fighters: ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos SVC Chaos]]'' and ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution''. However, this only concerns fighting game appearances and Demitri has appeared in non-fighters like ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' and ''VideoGame/CrossEdge'' alongside Morrigan herself. He also fits this trope in a roundabout way: Demitri himself is known more for his [[GenderBender Midnight Bliss attack that transforms male characters into attractive female versions of themselves]] and [[FanservicePack females into a more fetishy version of themselves]] ([[FanDisservice usually]]). In fact, most people that play the game these days are [[JustHereForGodzilla Just Here For Morrigan (or Felicia)]].

* ''VideoGame/AtelierRyzaEverDarknessAndTheSecretHideout'' is one of the most well known and best-selling games in the long-running ''Atelier'' series. Why? An extremely attractive female lead and her equally attractive compatriots. Despite the game bringing several major improvements to gameplay and graphics, it's hard to talk about the game without someone mentioning [[ShesGotLegs Ryza's thighs]] or [[BoobsOfSteel Lila's chest]]. Ironically, the game is actually TamerAndChaster than previous ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' titles in almost every other regard, lacking a {{Beach|Episode}} or HotSpringsEpisode and other {{Ecchi}} scenes.
