History Catchphrase / VideoGames

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

* 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 last words.

* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus1986'' has such an [[NintendoHard infamously high difficulty level]] that Pit's catchphrase is "I'm finished!" Palutena and Pit even give it a consecutive pair of [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] in ''[[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Uprising]]''.
-->'''Palutena:''' Remember when you used to say 'I'm finished!' all the time?
-->'''Pit:''' I... still say that. A lot.

--->'''Garcian Smith:''' Son of a bitch.
--->'''Dan Smith:''' This is too easy.
--->'''KAEDE Smith:''' Hurts, doesn't it?
--->'''Coyote Smith:''' You're FUCKED.
--->'''Con Smith:''' Fuck you!
--->'''MASK de Smith:''' Adiós (or, sometimes, "Nos vemos").
--->'''Young Harman Smith:''' Touché.

%% * ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

---> '''Kyo''': ''Ore no...kachi da!'' (This is...my victory!) (rendered as "I am...the champion!" in Maximum Impact's dub, which actually makes sense, given the wording order of the Japanese phrase.)
---> '''Ryo''': ''Osu!'' (A standard martial arts saying)
---> '''Terry''': ''OKAY!'' (Usually accompanied by him tossing his cap. In ''Mark of the Wolves'' and the later KOF games he tosses his bomber jacket and catches it)

* ''{{VideoGame/Spectrobes}}''' Rallen gets Iku Ze! which roughly translates to "Let's do this!". this also crosses over with {{Gratuitous Japanese}}.

* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'' has such an [[NintendoHard infamously high difficulty level]] that Pit's catchphrase is "I'm finished!" Palutena and Pit even give it a consecutive pair of [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] in ''[[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Uprising]]''.

* ''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.

** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'': Ezio Auditore uses ''"Requiescat in pace."''

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'': Ezio Auditore uses ''"Requiescat in pace."''
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'': Connor Kenway tends to ask "Where is Charles Lee" quite often.
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue'': Shay Cormac always answers with "I make my own luck" whenever luck is brought up around him.

** 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, [[LawyerFriendlyCameo 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.

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

* ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'': "As long as there's life, there's hope." -Captain Brenner

* ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'s'' ExpositionFairy Atlas has his distinctive "Would you kindly?". This phrase later turns out to be quite plot relevant, as Atlas says this to [[spoiler:repeatedly [[MindControl hypnotize]] [[PlayerCharacter Jack]] into obeying all his commands]].

-->''Commander, in my cycle, when we fled combat by [[ItMakesSenseInContext falling through tanks filled with aquatic animals]]...[[SarcasmMode oh, that's right, we never did! You are a trailblazer!]]''

-->'''Liz Allaire''': *Says something ridiculous or completely crazy*
-->'''Person/Creature/Robot she's talking to''': "Disconcerting." / "That's disconcertingly _____."

-->'''Dan''': *Mercilessly insults the person he's talking to.*
-->'''Old friend/Main Villain/Security Robot/Hot Bimbo''': "Haha. What a dude."
* ''Nexus: The Jupiter Incident'': [[SmallNameBigEgo Rear Admiral Norbank]]

---> '''Oliver''': "Neato!" and "Jeepers!"

* ''VideoGame/NintendoWars'': Caulder from ''Days of Ruin'': (it's) FASCINATING!

* ''S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl'' has a number of repeated phrases, some earning MemeticMutation. These must at all times be imitated with gratuitous Russian accents.

* The Adjutant in ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' frequently utters "Receiving incoming transmission" during the campaigns. And let's not forget any Protoss character's "En Taro Adun!"...

** 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).

** Whenever the Black Baron is made to demonstrate the latest Bloodbath Challenge, he manages to shout "Aw, hell no!" just before dying.

* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey 2'': The guildmaster ends most conversations with you with "Never underestimate the Labrynth." [[NintendoHard You really shouldn't.]]
** ''[[UpdatedRerelease 2 Untold]]'' changes this to "Try to avoid any unnecessary risks." Still good advice.

'''Carringtons''': HEY GUYZ! ([[{{Gainaxing}} Bwoing!]])\\

** Veigar: "[[BerserkButton Is that]] [[TheNapoleon a short joke?!]]"

** Igor will always greet his guests with, "Welcome to the Velvet Room."

** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': [[PlayerCharacter Joker]] often declares "It's Showtime!" when starting a PhantomThief mission.

* ''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", which he gets to use when [[spoiler: the entire city of Sanctuary flies into the air, and then teleports to another location.]] He uses it again in ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'' [[spoiler: as his last words during his HeroicSacrifice.]]

** For all the characters, there's "Enemy Officer Defeated" or "I took out an officer", with the later games giving characters unique variations of this (such as Lu Bu asking for a decent challenge). It's also found in the ''Videogame/SamuraiWarriors'' and ''Videogame/WarriorsOrochi'' spinoffs.

* ''Videogame/{{Gradius}}'': "Destroy the core!", "Destroy them all!", "Shoot the core!", "You need more practice!"
* ''Videogame/GuiltyGear'': "Heaven or Hell?" (Insert round number, or skip in two particular games) [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear LET'S ROCK!"]]

** The Arbiter in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'': "Were it so easy."
** "Keep your head down, there's two of us in here" (Cortana in the first mission of the [[VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved first game]], and after you rescue her in the [[VideoGame/{{Halo 3}} third game]]).

* ''Videogame/MadWorld'':

* ''Videogame/MetalWolfChaos'': The President of the United States almost speaks only in catch phrases. However his signature catch phrases are "RICHARD!!" and "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!?"

* ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'': "Tonda Gossa!" from the fictional band DCMC.

* ''TheNextBigThing'' (A.K.A. Hollywood Monsters 2 in some territories): Both main characters have their own "reverse catchphrase" in which the catchphrase is not said by them, but as a reaction said by the character you are talking to.

* ''Videogame/NiNoKuni'':

* ''Videogame/NintendoWars'': Caulder from ''Days of Ruin'': (it's) FASCINATING!
* The ''Videogame/NoMoreHeroes'' games have tons:

** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'': Male main character: "Whatever." / "I don't care."
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'': "Calm down." and "I should leave them be." have become [[CanonName Yu Narukami's]] catch phrases.

* Similarily to [[Creator/StephenMerchant his voice actor]], Wheatley from ''Videogame/Portal2'' has the phrase "Man alive!"

* In ''Videogame/SilentHill4'', Henry commonly reacts to the game's bizarre goings-on with a poignant "What the hell?"

* ''StreetFighter'': "Yatta" literally means "I did it" in Japanese and is not an uncommon phrase, but one of the most common associations among Western audiences is with Chun-Li's winning pose.
** 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).
