History ChickMagnet / VideoGames

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', Link presumably has Ghirahim all over him, as well as Peatrice (only as long as Link accepts her feelings in the dating sidequest), Kina, Zelda AND Fi. In the case of Kina, not only she proclaims to be a fan of his if the player performs flawlessly in the harp minigame, but the conversations between the two also spark jealousy regarding her from another NPC.

*** Outside of Link, Prince Sidon of the Zora has attracted his own in-universe posse of fangirls. One Zora little girl will tell Link he's handsome, but still not as handsome as Prince Sidon.

* In the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Joshua Bright]], [[VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki Lloyd Bannings]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Rean Schwarzer]] have a lot of women attracted to them in their respective arcs.

** Taken to perhaps its logical limit in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''; seemingly everyone from the shopkeepers to Impa's granddaughter has a thing for Link, with Kodah mentioning having had a crush on him when she was younger, [[spoiler:Princess Mipha of the Zora intending to propose to him, and the conclusion of Kass's subplot revealing that Princess Zelda herself is in love with Link]]. On top of that, you can catch several female Zoras squeeing over him. This doesn't stop when Link dresses in drag to get into the women-only Gerudo Town, since he's noted to make quite an [[AttractiveBentGender attractive gal]] and several male [=NPCs=] skulking outside of Gerudo Town will flirt with him.

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', not only does he get Midna and Ilia, but the girl who runs the fishing hole seemed to have a definite thing for him. Then there's the group of fangirls he gains by making it through the clawshot minigame in Hyrule Town. Telma also has a thing for him as shown by her flirtatious winks. Then there's Beth who also likes him -- though it's more like PuppyLove, and later in the game, she seems to move on to Colin and then Prince Ralis.

On top of that, you can catch several female Zoras squeeing over him.

** In Creator/{{Nintendo}} crossover ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' for the Wii U, even Viridi from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' (one of Pit's [[GreekChorus mission control voices]]) and Princess Peach from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBrothers'' develop feelings for him (the later was mostly in the promotional material though).

* The title character of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' is somewhat portrayed this way in the games, even getting a ''[[InterspeciesRomance human]]'' character to fall in love with him, however this isn't to the extent of the [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Archie Comics]]. As he says in ''VideoGame/SonicBattle'': "Got enough girls chasing me as it is."

** To a much, much greater extent, [[{{Bishonen}} Jin]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky Kisaragi]]. As shown in the manga, ''[[Manga/BlazBlueRemixHeart BlazBlue: Remix Heart]]'', he is extremely popular with girls in his Academy days. And in-game, Tsubaki, Rachel, and Makoto have expressed interests in him.

** Garrus is seen as AlwaysSecondBest to Shepard, but the guy certainly has something the ladies like. Dr Michel sends him chocolate aboard the Normandy, Kelly Chambers finds him adorable, [[spoiler:Tali hooks up with him if she doesn't with Shep]], and his Citadel scene is him having a date with a turian lady. And of course he can romance [=FemShep=] herself - after narrating the way he [[UnusualEuphemism let off Steam]] with a fellow scout when in was in the army.

* In the ''VideoGame/KisekiSeries'', [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Joshua Bright]], [[VideoGame/ZeroNoKiseki Lloyd Bannings]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Rean Schwarzer]] have a lot of women attracted to them in their respective arcs.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperHeroineChronicle'', the ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' girls still have their harem hijinks, but because Ichika isn't present, they have to go for the next best thing. Players would think it would be [[OriginalGeneration Claude]], but a cutscene reveals that the girls would swoon over [[Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear Hibiki Tachibana]]. This makes [[LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo Aria H. Kanzaki]] warn them not to kiss her, or else [[ArtMajorBiology they might]] [[HilarityEnsues get pregnant]].

** Main character [[CanonName Yu Narukami]]/[[FanNickname Souji Seta]]/etc. of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' is just as popular as Minato with girls (maybe even more popular). And unlike in ''Persona 3'', he can max out his female friends' Social Links ''without'' having to become their boyfriend. His "harem" (if you choose to gather it) includes the tomboy, the old money rich girl, the new money rich girl, the IdolSinger, the SweetPollyOliver, the two underclassmen girls who are mutually exclusive, and (in ''[[UpdatedRerelease Persona 4 Golden]]'') [[spoiler:the ApocalypseMaiden]]. However, romancing all of them in ''Persona 4 Golden'' will net you a scene on Valentine's Day where you have to break all but one of their hearts, and the implication that they know you're cheating on them, YouBastard.

* [[DefrostingIceKing Neku]] [[TroubledButCute Sakuraba]] from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is also no slouch in this department. Throughout the game, he ends up attracting a rather large variety of [[KidAnova older women]], ranging from [[HospitalHottie pharmacists]], [[ElegantGothicLolita cute gothic-lolita girls]], [[BurgerFool fast-food cashiers]], [[DefrostingIceQueen snobby high-class clerks]], etc. And that’s not even getting into his ShipTease with [[TheFashionista Shiki]] [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl Misaki]], who acts as his MoralityChain.

* ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': Rock Howard [[RaisedByDudes spent most of his adolescence in the company of men]], thus explaining his easily-flustered nature around the opposite sex [[note]]considering [[ParentalNeglect his]] [[ParentalAbandonment life]] after his mother's death/before Terry [[HappilyAdopted adopted him]], this is ''still'' the better alternative[[/note]]. While this doesn't affect him much in ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'', he gets hit full force by this trope in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters: [[AlternateContinuity Maximum Impact]] 2''. He does so much as ''breathe'', and yet [[ElegantGothicLolita Ninon]] [[{{Ojou}} Beart]] [[BettyAndVeronica and]] [[PirateGirl Bonne]] [[TheTease Jenet]] [[LoveTriangle all but throw themselves at him]] ([[LoverTugOfWar they even fight over]] "custody" of Rock in their intro poses against one another). It doesn't help that he's [[{{Adorkable}} a lovable dork]] in these scenes and [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan a kindhearted young man by default]].

** The protagonist of the first ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' has at least three girls known to be interested in him. The two that get to appear in the second game are still into him despite the time that has passed.

* ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]]'', which from the third game onward has given its protagonists the option to romance their female friends through LevelUpAtIntimacy5, VisualNovel-esque vignettes. The earlier games lack the social sim aspect, but their protagonists are definitely chick magnets too.

* [[AntiHero Ragna the Bloodedge]] of ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' is {{Ship Tease}}d with Noel, Rachel and Taokaka, and Nu [[StalkerWithACrush is always eager to stalk Ragna]]--who is hers and hers ''[[{{Yandere}} only]]''. Taken to the extreme in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBv2Pz07TvQ Rachel's joke ending,]] where, thanks to Rachel's machinations, he attracts the attention of nearly ''every'' female character in the game. Even the ones who normally hate his guts ([[{{Jerkass}} Kokonoe]], [[BrattyHalfPint Luna]]), the ones who aren't human ([[CuteMonsterGirl Makoto]], [[RobotGirl Lambda and Nirvava]]), and the one who's his [[StalkerWithACrush creepy]] [[{{Yandere}} younger]] [[IncestSubtext brother]] Jin.

** A female Shepard almost matches her male counterpart, who can have a relationship with [[BiTheWay Lt Kaiden Alenko]], [[HotScientist Dr Liara T'Soni]], [[NiceGuy Jacob Taylor]], [[TroubledButCute Thane Krios]], [[CowboyCop Garrus Vakarian]], [[BridgeBunny Kelly Chambers]], [[LipstickLesbian Samantha Traynor]], and Diana Allers. She has ShipTease with Tali'Zorah Vas Neema, Samara, Mordin, James Vega, and Shiala, Zaeed Massani admits that he's 'always thought [she] was beautiful', possibly has a ([[OutWithABang very brief]]) encounter with Morinth, gets a breeding request from at least one (female) krogan, a ''geth'' clearly has a crush on her, and the ''Citadel'' DLC makes it possible for her to have a one-night stand with [[spoiler:''Javik''.]]

* Princess Peach from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' is also a major Dude Magnet. EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses, indeed. TEC, Francis, Bowser, Wario, numerous Toads, Booster, Lock, Mario, and to an extent, Luigi are all crushing on her. [[SingleTargetSexuality But there's only one suitor this princess has got her eyes on,]] [[RescueRomance and that's her hero, Mario.]]

* Many protagonists of [=RPGs=], in particular the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, display this trope, with [[EscapistCharacter half of the female cast falling for them on sight]].
** Cloud Strife from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a notorious offender. Despite being a jerk, nearly every woman in the game either falls for him on sight, develops a crush on him or ''can'' soften towards him if Cloud treats them nicely, ranging from romantic heroines to likeable female sidekicks to FanserviceExtra [=NPCs=]. Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'' where Echo is immediately (and [[AbhorrentAdmirer obnoxiously]]) crazy about him and can't understand why anybody else wouldn't be, repeatedly trying to get Wol to ask him on a date.

Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy'' where Echo is immediately attracted to him and can't understand why anybody else wouldn't be.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has [[HelloNurse Sheena]] [[HighlyVisibleNinja Fujibayashi]], who has a number of NPCS hitting on her and some heavy ShipTease with both Lloyd and Zelos. [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan She seems to have a thing for Lloyd]], but he's oblivious and she's too {{Tsundere}} to come out and say it.

*** Sojiro Sakura eavily hints that he used to be Chick Magnet in the past. Though the loss of [[TheLostLenore his adopted daughter's mother]] has disheartened him from his old womanizing ways, the fact that he knows what to say to convince nine different women to give his ward another chance ('he loves you, it was a misunderstanding,etc' ) in less than a day (even if one of them is the aforementioned daughter) speaks for itself.

*** Protagonist [[CanonName Ren Amamiya]]/[[FanNickname Akira Kurusu]] can simultaneously attract the attention of every last female party member and most of the female [=NPCs=], for a total of ''nine'' women he can romance (''ten'' in ''[[UpdatedRerelease Persona 5 Royal]]''). This includes a StudentCouncilPresident, a model, a rich {{Ojou}}, a shogi player, a recovering {{Hikikomori}}, a former political reporter, a fortune teller, a medical doctor, and his [[TeacherStudentRomance homeroom teacher]] (plus a gymnast in ''Royal''). However, date more than one, and no amount of charm will stop them from beating him up for it (but even then, it's implied he's still able to salvage his relationships afterwards thanks to some excellent wingmanship from his guardian).
*** Sojiro Sakura, said guardian, heavily hints that he used to be Chick Magnet in the past. Though the loss of [[TheLostLenore his adopted daughter's mother]] has disheartened him from his old womanizing ways, the fact that he knows what to say to convince nine different women to give his ward another chance ('he loves you, it was a misunderstanding,etc' ) in less than a day (even if one of them is the aforementioned daughter) speaks for itself.

** To a much, much greater extent, [[{{Bishonen}} Jin]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky Kisaragi]]. As shown in the manga, ''Manga/BlazBlueRemixHeart'', he is extremely popular with girls in his Academy days. And in-game, Tsubaki, Rachel, and Makoto have expressed interests in him.
** Kagura Mutsuki looks to be this, too. One of his winposes has a shapely Fox Beastkin fall RIGHT INTO HIS ARMS- And she's quite pleased about it.

* [[AntiHero Ragna the Bloodedge]] of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is {{Ship Tease}}d with Noel, Rachel and Taokaka, and Nu [[StalkerWithACrush is always eager to stalk Ragna]], who is hers and hers ''[[{{Yandere}} only]]''. Taken to the extreme in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBv2Pz07TvQ Rachel's joke ending]], where, thanks to Rachel's machinations, he attracts the attention of nearly ''every'' female character in the game. Even the ones who normally hate his guts ([[{{Jerkass}} Kokonoe]], [[BrattyHalfPint Luna]]), the ones who aren't human ([[CuteMonsterGirl Makoto]], [[RobotGirl Lambda and Nirvava]]), and the one who's his [[StalkerWithACrush creepy]] [[{{Yandere}} younger]] [[IncestSubtext brother]] Jin.
** In ''Chronophantasma'', the Spectacles of Eros are back on Ragna's temples (literally) - this time we get Noel, Makoto, Tsubaki, Nirvana, Ignis, Bullet, Litchi, and Kokonoe in on the fun! Celica, too, but she genuinely loves him... which invokes yet another orgy of violence on [[ButtMonkey poor Ragna]].
** To a much, much greater extent, [[{{Bishonen}} Jin]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky Kisaragi]]. As shown in the manga, ''[=BlazBlue=]: Remix Heart'', he is extremely popular with girls in his Academy days. And in-game, Tsubaki, Rachel, and Makoto have expressed interests in him.

* Marumaro of ''VideoGame/BlueDragon'', [[TheScrappy for all his faults]], turns into one of these in Kelaso village. He also manages to score [[MsFanservice the hottest chick in the game!]]
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'''s flagship badass, Dante. While he does play the role of HandsomeLech towards Lady at first, [[GirlOfTheWeek every single female lead of the first three games]] [[ShipTease became a viable]] LoveInterest for him towards endgame, UnresolvedSexualTension and everything. It doesn't hurt that he has the air of TheCharmer about him.
** In the case of Trish and Lady, the romantic tension was dialed back for their joint reappearance in ''4''. Here, it's obvious that Dante sees his ladyfriends at least as TrueCompanions; any non-platonic feelings are negated by Dante's [[CharacterDevelopment lack of]] ([[CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest or suppression of]]) [[ChivalrousPervert perverted qualities]]. As for Lucia, canonically speaking, she's the last girl Dante meets (Trish's [[SecretCharacter appearance]] in ''2'' [[WordOfGod is non-canon]] and Lady hadn't been conceptualized at that point), so the matter of Dante's love life could take one of several different directions.

** Main character [[CanonName Yu Narukami]]/[[FanNickname Souji Seta]]/etc. of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' is just as popular as Minato with girls (maybe even more popular). And unlike ''Persona 3'', he can max out his female friends' Social Links ''without'' having to become their boyfriend. His "harem" (if you choose to gather it) includes the tomboy, the old money rich girl, the new money rich girl, the IdolSinger, the SweetPollyOliver, the two underclassmen girls who are mutually exclusive, and the ApocalypseMaiden. Romancing all of them will net you a scene on Valentine's Day where you have to break all but one of their hearts, and the implication that they know you're cheating on them, YouBastard.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax'', Ken Amada from ''Persona 3'' seems to have stepped into his upperclassman Akihiko's shoes in this regard. His opening cutscene shows a sizable, dedicated fanclub of girls cheering for him during a soccer match... who he politely acknowledges and dismisses. Though he's not as awkward with them as Akihiko, Ken doesn't seem to pay them much attention--he clearly has more important priorities on his mind.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'':
*** Protagonist [[CanonName Ren Amamiya]]/[[FanNickname Akira Kurusu]] can simultaneously attract the attention of every last female party member and most of the female [=NPCs=], for a total of ''nine'' women he can romance.
