History BigNo / VideoGames

* Twice in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor - VideoGame/OperationVIDEOGAME'':

** When Avalon in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet2'' gets kidnapped by [[BigBad the Negativitron]], Larry does one due to the chaos situation.
** ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet3'' Pinky has one of these due to Newton sending Sackboy falling.
----> '''Newton:''' Right you are, a perfect day for target practice... FOOLS!

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', if you have Khalid and Jaheira in your party, Khalid will yell one of these if Jaheira is killed.

* ''VideoGame/StarFox'':

* Snake shouts a Big "NO!" in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' if he's knocked out of the stage as a twinkle in the sky.

** Mario also lets out one in

** Rosalina does a quite large one in [[spoiler:''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' (which serves as one of her death screams)]], ''VideoGame/MarioParty10'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' (amiibo costume).

* ''VideoGame/SayNoMore'': uses this as it's central gamplay mechanic.

* Because it's basically a [[OncePerEpisode requisite]] for ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' has Starkiller let one out during his [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]] in the good ending. He also does it twice in the bad ending [[spoiler: (one when he sees all his friends are dead and one when he gets crushed by a spaceship).]]
** Before that, Kota lets one out when he realizes that Palpatine is trying to turn Starkiller to the Dark Side.
** In ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed II'', Starkiller lets one out when [[spoiler: he fails to stop Boba Fett's ship, which has Juno Eclipse captive, from taking off and escaping.]]

** And in the video game adaptation of ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsEpisodeIIIRevengeOfTheSith Revenge of the Sith]]'' when Anakin is fighting Mace Windu.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Dark Forces|Saga}}'', General Rom Mohc gives a really good one upon his defeat.

* In ''Film/TheGodfather'' game, Monk Malone yells one after a string of smaller "no"s when [[spoiler: Frankie Malone]] dies after being abducted by Tattaglia goons, even hurling a church pew by himself in his rage and sorrow.

** Speaking of Zelda, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames NO, not into the pit!]] [[MemeticMutation It BURRRRRRRRNS]]

* In the endgame of ''[[VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge]]'', Guybrush and [=LeChuck=] do a nearly word-for-word recital of the classic scene from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', which, naturally, includes the Big "NO!" It's every better in the Special Edition version, where Dominic Armato (as Guybrush) performs his lines ''exactly the same way'' as Mark Hamill did in ''Empire'', up to and including the Big "NO!"

* In one of Wario-Man's comics in ''VideoGame/WarioWareDIY Showcase'', the pudding says, "Who says pudding can't be cool?" And then, after realizing that pudding '''cannot''' be cool, the pudding lets out a Big "NO!"

* In ''Werewolf: The Lost Warrior'', shouting "NOO!" at your enemies is the strongest attack you can use in human form.

* In the first ''VideoGame/PokemonTradingCardGame,'' the final boss is your rival, Ronald. By now, he has acquired the legendary Pokemon cards, including Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. After beating Ronald, Rod declares that the legendary Pokemon cards have chosen you, and the cards vanish from Ronald's deck. Ronald yells, "No! My...my legendary Pokemon cards! No...! NOOOOOO!!!" and leaves in sadness. This renders the player the new champion and the new owner of the legendary Pokemon cards.
* ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatestoInfinity'' has this in the intro, where the player yells one while he falls from the sky.

* In ''Tales of Graces'', the sidequest where the main characters visit a beach resort has a sequence of events with Cheria trying to pick up young men to impress the other protagonists, and the end result before they leave the resort is this trope as shouted by Cheria as the big punchline.

* Happens in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'':

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* If you manage to get a mod that changes all zombies in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' to Jimmy Gibbs Jr, or manage to find a way to spawn him, Ellis shouts NNNNOOOOOOOO! when he sees his hero zombified. It's funnier that the other survivors don't care, like Coach saying sorry about the car and Rochelle saying "Dibs on Gibbs" or "HOLY SHIT what's that?".
** Also, any time a Smoker grabs you in the first ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.

* In ''[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]]'', at the end of "Loose Ends", [[spoiler:Ghost]] lets one loose right after [[spoiler:General Shepherd betrays and shoots Roach.]]

!!Visual Novels
* Frequent in ''Franchise/AceAttorney''.
** Villains are particularly prone to breaking into a Big "NO!" when Phoenix destroys their alibis.
** [[spoiler:Damon Gant]] does it ''twice'' -- and that's ''before'' he actually slips into a MotiveRant.
** Actually parodied at one point when ''The Judge'' does the Big "NO!" -- and then stops and wonders why, since he's not the one in trouble.
** In the same case, Phoenix lets out a Big "NO!" if you [[spoiler:present to the judge at one point a piece of cloth with Ema Skye's fingerprints on it too soon. This makes everyone believe Ema really did accidentally kill the victim in the incident two years ago, [[NonstandardGameOver making the trial impossible to win]] and you're notified that you eventually lost]].
** Ema herself let's off one when it is implied that [[spoiler:She inadvertently killed the very person she was trying to help]].
** So does Edgeworth, [[spoiler:when he finds out he has unintentionally used forged evidence]].
** In ''Trials and Tribulations'', when [[spoiler: Edgeworth, who immediately catches on to how terrible being a defense attorney really is,]] just got through breaking three of Larry Butz's Psyche-Locks, being miserable the entire time through. It seems that he's about to get to the bottom of what Butz is hiding when suddenly he's encountered by ''five'' more! Cue the Big No. At that point, he decides to just take Butz as a witness.
** Another particularly amusing one is when [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]] shouts something to the like of "No!!![=GuiltygUilTYGUILTYguiLTYgUiLty=]!!!" complete with alternating caps while ripping his face off.
** Godot does such a moment in Case 2 of ''Trials and Tribulations'' WHILE DRINKING COFFEE. (This was notably ''not'' a SpitTake; he did this ''while chugging the coffee as fast as he could.'') He also does the same thing in Case 3.
** Phoenix himself lets out a big NO when [[spoiler: Dahlia, while in Maya Fey's body, announces that Maya is dead.]]
** In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Athena Cykes does this three times as a plot point. The first time is when [[spoiler:Aura Blackquill accuses her of murdering her own mother, causing black Psyche-Locks to appear]], the second is when after Simon Blackquill reveals what he saw the day she was killed, then the third is when Phoenix [[spoiler:breaks her black Psyche-Locks]].
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': Sakura pulls one of these ("IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" which is Japanese for no) after [[spoiler:she accidently stabs Shirou with a mana-draining projectile, nearly killing him]]. She feels incredibly guilty about this for the rest of the route.

* The UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}} port of 1984's ''VideoGame/ImpossibleMission'' rewards the player who completed the game by revealing the villain, accompanied by a digitized, plaintive "No. ''No.'' NO! The UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum version (when it allowed the player to reach the ending, without tripping over the GameBreakingBug) has the picture of the villain screaming "NOOOOOOOOO!" (in the image), accompanied by a shaking screen, white noise and stripy border. You can go to [[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/speccyspoilers/ Speccy Spoilers]] and grab a copy of this ending to see it for yourself (for an emulator on which to run that file, just visit the base of that URL)...

* ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' when Fiona [[spoiler:realises that she's trapped forever in the castle with her creepy rapist uncle. [[JustifiedTrope Of course, her reaction is fairly justified]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin given that her creepy rapist uncle wants to do just that to her]].]]

* In the climax of your first dragon battle in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', Mirmulnir, the dragon you fight, lets out a great big ''NIIIIIIIID!'' upon realizing too late that you are the Dragonborn (a mortal with the soul of a dragon, capable of taking the soul and power of any dragon he or she slays) when you deliver the final blow to him.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'': Mirmulnir, the first dragon the player kills, lets out one in [[ConLang Dovazhul]] upon realizing he's been [[YourSoulIsMine killed by a Dragonborn]] and isn't [[ResurrectiveImmortality coming back]] from this one.

Examples of BigNo in VideoGames

-->'''Count Spankulot:''' Join me, Numbuh One, and at my side, you can spank them all! Like naughty little Lewis, that naughty Cedric boy, or LIZZIE!\\

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'': A disproportionate amount of [[BigBad Smithy's]] dialogue is either a Big No or a WrittenRoar, at one point exclaiming something that was a mix of both.
* Francis has one in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' after Peach (almost literally) nukes his laptop: "NOOOOOO! MY GRAPHICS CAAAAARD!"

* ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon'':
** In ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'': Ripto lets out one when Crush is defeated. He also lets one out if you ram into him or burn him in his boss battle, but it just stuns him for a second without damaging him.

** Near the end of ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]]'', [[spoiler:the Joker does this twice: once when he sees that Batman has destroyed the Lazarus Pit, and once after stabbing Batman in the shoulder ends up causing the vial containing the cure to his Titan Disease to drop to the floor and shatter.]]
