History CatchPhrase / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry's'' signature BigBad killing catch phrase, "Jackpot!" Even Nero gets one in at the end of number 4.
** Also Vergil's personal philosophy: 'Might controls everything'.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'': "Show your moves!" "HYESZ!" "FALCON PAWNCH/KICK!"

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'': Lilith likes using "'sup" before or after she does something involving her powers. Angel tends to say "Executing Phaseshift" when she's about to do something. Scooter's is "Catch-a-Ride", [[spoiler: which he gets to use when the entire city of Sanctuary flies into the air, and then teleports to another location.]]

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' has Navi's infamous "Hey!....Listen!"

** Squall of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' is so uncommunicative that his catchphrases are "Whatever," and "[[VisibleSilence ...]]"

** Kaede Akamatsu from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' uses both Makoto's "No, that's wrong!" and Hajime's "I agree with that!". [[spoiler:On the other hand, Shuichi Saihara, the game's real protagonist following [[DecoyProtagonist Kaede's execution in the first trial]], says "That's wrong!" and "I agree!" when refuting or agreeing with a statement respectively]].

** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' has Naegi's "You got that wrong!", which he says whenever points out a contradiction during court trials.
** Hinata from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' borrows Naegi's quote, and along with it he gains a new one, "I agree with that!" He says this when he agrees to someone's statement in the trials. He also has "Allow me to cut through those words!", which he shouts when countering someone in a one-on-one debate

** Mario has several, and they're usually the only things he says. "Let's-a go!", "Here we go!", "Mamma Mia", It's-a me, Mario!"
** Luigi share most of his brother's catchphrases, and has one of his own, "Okie dokie!"
** Virtually every character with a comprehensible voice in the series shares the "(Character's Name) Time!" catchphrase. (e.g. "It's-a Mario Time!", "Oh yeah, Waluigi Time!", etc.)

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': Reyn loves announcing that it's "Reyn time!", which Shulk borrows for his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' appearance with "Now it's Shulk time!" Shulk himself has "I'm really feeling it!"

* ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'': [[PrimordialChaos Chaos]] HatesSmallTalk and requests that they not be spoken to unless prompted to. When Chaos wants Zagreas to speak to them, they end their sentence with the phrase, "Respond".

* ''StarWars'': ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' Atton of the sequel has, "Pure Pazzak!", a reference to the blackjack-like game he plays obsessively. From the same game, the battle droid HK-47 has his distinctive expression of "meatbags."

*** His much less used, but still prominent, one is "Why do I always get stuck with the icky jobs?", which he says whenever he's given a task he don't want to do.

* ''VideoGame/VermintideTheEndTimes and its sequel.
** Kerillian, the wood elf, refers to her companions as lumberfoot and mayfly even when complimenting them.

** Bardin, the dwarf, uses the word wazzock as an insult frequently and has nicknamed all his companions, almost always preferring the nickname to their actual name.

* ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}: [[PrimordialChaos Chaos]] HatesSmallTalk and requests that they not be spoken to unless prompted to. When Chaos wants Zagreas to speak to them, they end their sentence with the phrase, "Respond".

* ''Videogame/MadWorld'': "I don't help people. I kill them."

* ''Overlord'': Gnarl's quite fond of "Evil always finds a way!"

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': [[MagnificentBastard Axel]] has "Got it memorized?"
** Xigbar of Organization XIII: "As if."
** Demyx of course from the same: "Dance water, Dance!"

*** Barret has a fairly long one in "There ain't no gettin' offa this train we're on 'til we get to the end of the line" - a line he borrowed from Cloud and makes his own. Spoofed later on when multiple characters [[YouAreWithMe say the line in unison]] before Barret can. Cloud will use the line in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', if you prompt to kick him out of your party.

** Solid Snake's catchphrase, "Kept you waiting, huh?", was actually a [[NoFourthWall fourth-wall-breaking]] observation about [[ExpositionBreak the length of the preceding cutscene]] in its original use (according to the script). It stuck, to the point where the series has lampshaded its use more than it's actually used it straight, characters mocking his [[IdenticalGrandson identical father's]] punctuality, and, in the most obvious example, a character in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' commenting on Snake's absence from an event he would have liked to attend - "he always keeps people waiting"). Snake - we mean, [[TheCameo an amnesiac box salesman]] - even manages to say it in ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}} 2''. The decoy in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' is a cardboard cutout of Big Boss that constantly says "kept you waiting, huh" on a loop.

-->I'll teach them not to mess with the human race... Watch and learn, Captain Cromwell - '''this''' is how the big boys do battle!

** Also Chun-Li's "Sorry!/Gomen ne!", to the point that for the iOS version of ''Street Fighter IV'' it became her round-win quote instead of just a taunt (which weren't in that version - they wanted to make sure she said it at some point).

* ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster'' - "Ready, go!"

* UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn: Segata Sanshiro has these words implanted in your head after he kicks your ass: "Sega Saturn ''shiro!!''" (You must play Sega Saturn!!). It's also his FamousLastWords.

** Revolver Ocelot's "You're pretty good!" [[spoiler: This proves to be one of the most subtle and poignant expressions of his character in the series; it's one of the first things said to him by Big Boss, to whom Ocelot developed an obsessive devotion that motivates more or less the entire plot. It's also his last words before his death.]]

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'': "FINISH HIM!"

* ''VisualNovel/PhantomThiefSilerCat'': Silver Cat's is "I'll take it Meow."

* All ''Videogame/{{Skylanders}}'' have a phrase they say upon being placed on the portal with the exception of guest skylanders.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' has several, but as usual, the fandom exaggerates. Many of them only appear once in canon.

* ''Videogame/AlteredBeast'' Never forget the opening words "Rise From Your Grave!". However, they did kind of sound like "Wise fwom your gwave".

* ''Videogame/AssassinsCreedRogue'': Shay Cormac always answers with "I make my own luck" whenever luck is brought up around him.
* ''Videogame/BackyardSports'': Sunny Day has "Hi-de-ho!"
* ''Vidoegame/BaldursGate'': "Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES!"

* ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'':

** Hinata from ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2'' borrows Naegi's quote, and along with it he gains a new one, "I agree with that!" He says this when he agrees to someone's statement in the trials. He also has "Allow me to cut through those words!", which he shouts when countering someone in a one-on-one debate

* ''Videogame/DynastyWarriors'': Lu Bu never seems to tire seeking out someone who will provide him with a decent challenge.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

* ''Videogame/EliteBeatAgents'' has a few of these.

* ''VideoGame/FearEffect''. Glas definitely has one. It goes like this: "You draw on me? You better be prepared to face the consequences!"

* ''Videogame/{{Killer7}}'': Iwazaru always greets the player with "Master! We're in a tight spot!", regardless of whether he has good news or bad news, and always signs off "In the name of Harman...". Likewise, [[MrExposition Travis Bell]] either starts or ends his reports with a "straight up", to emphasize on his self-proclaimed honesty.

** Garen: "[[SAYmyname DEMACIAAAAAAA!]]" Probably the most iconic line in the game.
