History PsychicPowers / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. Pyrokinesis is passed down genetically through the Kusanagi and Yagami clans, with the Kusanagi having regular red and orange flames and the Yagami having "cursed" purple flames. One character, Ash Crimson, possesses green flames, but how he got them is left unexplained. There's also Athena Asamiya and her VideoGame/PsychoSoldier Team; they seem to relay both in hand-to-hand fighting and psychic skills that include telekinesis, teleportation, BattleAura, {{energy ball}}s created by said BattleAura, HealingHands (exclusive to Athena and not always in-game available), et cetera. There's also K9999, who has both the Kusanagi flames (due to being a clone of Kyo Kusanagi) and psychokinetic abilities (due to being a rather blatant CaptainErsatz of ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'''s Tetsuo), [[spoiler:although he seems to have [[DiscardAndDraw lost the latter in favor of enhancing the former]] after going into impromptu witness protection as "Krohnen"]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' features several psychics called Psykers in each of its games. Some are outright stated to be psychic, while others' powers are implied.

* In ''VideoGame/StarControlII'' it was mentioned that some humans have minor... abilities, though never used beyond the flavour text. [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Syreen]] excel at it--their ships has a weak weapon but ''large'' telepathic amplifiers and can use them to devastating effect. Aside from them, the [[NewAgeRetroHippie spiritually-minded]] Pkunk are mentioned to be renowned psychics, and the Zoq claim to have limited psychic abilities, [[AgentScully although the Pik don't believe in them]]. We also encounter an old species who used their power to [[CompellingVoice dominate]] people on the star system scale and a PowerNullifier others created to counter this.

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' has the Protoss as a race and the [[SuperSoldier Terran Ghosts]] as individuals with psychic powers. Even the Zerg have them to the degree of being able to communicate over great distances through the hive mind and the Overlords, Cerebrates, and Overmind (and later [[spoiler:Kerrigan]]). This aspect is usually more accented in the novels than in the actual game, though.

* ''VideoGame/AdventRising'', oh so much. The humans here are ''the'' psionic race, and as such are worshiped as gods by some of the alien races. By the end of the game, it is easy to see why: the protagonist, Gideon Wyeth, gets augmented strength and speed, healing factor, telekinesis, force fields, electromagnetic bolts (and tied to that devastating energy explosions), ice bolts, gravity control ([[TechnoBabble and through it time control and what is essentially a teleport]]), and, oh yeah, that nifty ability to create microscopic black holes which you use against the epilogue boss.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'': Zelda is famous for precognitive dreams, particularly in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. For that matter, Link in ''Ocarina of Time'' could be included in this category for also having a precognitive dream at the very beginning of the game.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'':

** In addition to Psychic Pokémon, the games also often have humans with psychic powers as well. However, just like all other humans in the games, they rely on their Pokémon to battle and how powerful they are is really more of an InformedAttribute then anything else. Almost all characters who specialize in Psychic Pokémon are psychic themselves. Kanto Gym Leader [[TheStoic Sabrina]], Johto Elite Four [[VillainousHarlequin Will]], Hoenn Gym Leaders [[HalfIdenticalTwins Tate and Liza]], Unova Elite Four [[DelicateAndSickly Caitlin]], Kalos Gym Leader [[{{Seers}} Olympia]], Galar Rival [[InadequateInheritor Avery]], Paldea Gym Leader [[FashionModel Tulip]], and countless NPC trainers. They're usually treated in a positive light, although Sabrina has had [[DependingOnTheWriter various depictions]] in various continuities.

* Psychic powers are a staple in the ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' series. The powers known as PSI/PK were brought to Earth after [[spoiler:being stolen from the alien race by the great-grandfather of the [[VideoGame/MOTHER1 first game's]] protagonist]]. (This would lead into events in said game and acts as footing for the other two.) In the games themselves at least two or three members of your party will be able to use those powers with differences in who can use each. Most if not all the powers listed above (plus some not listed) are seen but not to every character and not in every game.
