History Redundancy / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIV'' you discover in a bargain bin among other things a game called "[[VideoGame/{{Loom}} Boom]]", described as "a [[AfterTheEnd post-holocaust]] adventure set in post-holocaust America after the holocaust."

* VideoGame/Splatoon3 has a customizable Splashtag player ID with collectible titles that players can mix and match to invoke this trope, creating titles such as “Salmon Run Salmon Runner” or “Tableturf Battling Tableturf Battler”.

* Someone in ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' gives you the "Machine that Opens Doors, especially when you have a slightly bad key" machine.
** You also have the Tessie hunting group at Lake Tessie searching for Tessie.

-->'''Mii:''' I’m [first name] [last name]. My nickname is [first name].
* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has the Carbon Dog enemy, which transforms into the Diamond Dog after taking enough damage. If you cast Brainshock on it, the boss can start feeling strange, where it may bite itself and diamondize itself for instant death. Yes, a diamond dog can turn itself into diamond again. Funnily, defeating the boss this way won't remove its sprite from the battle screen after the "YOU WON!" message pops up.

* The baseball-themed ''Franchise/OnePiece'' game for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance is called ''"One Piece: Going Baseball - Pirates' Baseball"'' (the first instance of "baseball" is in GratuitousEnglish). Then you look in the game's logo and you see it [[LongTitle goes even further with]] ''"~Baseball of One Piece~"''.

-->'''Mii:''' My name is [first name] [last name]. My nickname is [first name].

** ''The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame'': As each ninja learns their Spinjitzu element, every tutorial shows how to "hold a button and hover over a target". Every single time.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'' - attaching two like weapons together with the Fuse power will often create one, for example, a "Thick-Stick Stick."

* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', there are silhouetted versions of normal enemies with the prefix "Dark" added to their name. Among them is the Dark Dark Boo, named so because there's already a Dark Boo enemy that is a purple PaletteSwap of the regular Boo.

** It also introduces Dudunsparce, an evolution of Dunsparce that looks exactly the same as Dunsparce except its eyes are slightly open, it has an extra chin spike, its drill has an extra bit on it, and it has one extra segment (two if you're lucky).

* The English translation of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter Freedom Unite'' features the imaginatively named 'Darkness Darkblade.'

* Franziska von Karma from the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' games loves [[VerbalTic using the word]] "fool". Chew on that for a moment, you [[YouFool "foolish fool who foolishly dreams of foolish dreams"!]]
** For a supposed top-flight lawyer, she certainly has a distressingly limited vocabulary.
*** In her defense, she only recently came to America (or Japan) from Germany (or America).
*** And in ''Investigations'', her vocabulary is [[CharacterDevelopment expanded]].
*** Trials and Tribulations features the thief "Kaijin*Kamen Mask", literally meaning "phantom masked mask". In the English version he's given a similarly redundant name, Mask*Demasque. [[spoiler:By the time of Investigations he's also inspired at least one copycat criminal with a very similar outfit and alias.]]

* In ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey IV: Legends of the Titan'', one enemy in the fifth dungeon is called "Sleeping Lion". Whenever a character in this game misses a turn in battle due to being asleep, the message box will display "[Character] is sleeping". The Sleeping Lion, as its name implies, starts the battle sleeping, so you'll get the message "Sleeping Lion is sleeping" until you wake it up.

*** Trials and Tribulations features the thief "Kaijin*Kamen Mask", literally meaning "phantom masked mask". In the English version he's given a similarly redundant name, Mask*Demasque. [[spoiler:By the time of Investigations he's also inspired at least one copycat criminal.]]

* VideoGame/{{Piratez}}: "This round changes the Rocket Launcher into what is quite possibly (...) the world's largest handheld shotgun in the world."

** A quest in the game is given to you by a guy who keeps screaming to be shot in the face. His name is [[AwesomeMcCoolName Face Mcshooty]]. The turn-in box reads as follows: "Shoot This Guy in the Face/Shoot Face Mcshooty in the face./You shot him in the face./Turn In: Face Mcshooty"

* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'', Dante blurts out this redundelicious line: ''"eventually I should hit the jackpot sooner or later!"''
