History TitleDrop / Videogames

** Footage that the audience isn't supposed to see is marked with a red light on your display. If you show too much of this footage, the GameOver scren will tell you that "You lost the audience because you showed too much footage that was not for broadcast."

-->[[spoiler:'''Jeremy:''' But Alex Winston, who works in production, decided... [the tape] was ''not'' for your eyes and ears. It was ''not for broadcast''.]]

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' refers to a category of technology that is the main AppliedPhlebotinum of the game series, which is critically important for galactic civilization in the game. The opening title consists of a short description of the events that led humanity into the interstellar field, culminating with "They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilization of the galaxy call it...''Mass Effect''".

* The [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] version of ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' does this in the ending, while the Japanese version also does the same for ''VideoGame/LodeRunner''.

** In the English versions of both ''Symphony of the Night'' and the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] port of ''Rondo'', the stage's name is simply rendered "Bloodlines", dropping a [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines different title]] entirely.
* In ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' ([[BlindIdiotTranslation the original version]] and UsefulNotes/WiiWare remake), the password to the hideout in Plantation is a TitleDrop [[SdrawkcabName backwards]].

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearGhostBabel'' averted this as well. There is a "[[MacGuffin Project Babel]]" in the plot, which forms half of the subtitle, but the subtitle ''Ghost Babel'' was mainly chosen because it conveniently [[SuperTitle64Advance shared the same initials]] as the UsefulNotes/GameBoy.

** The title ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', which is [[SuperTitle64Advance quite traditional]] to UsefulNotes/{{Super Nintendo|EntertainmentSystem}} games, is also a name of the result of another research project.

* "''[[UsefulNotes/NeoGeo NEO-GEO]]'' / MAX 330 MEGA[[note]]"GIGA POWER" in later games.[[/note]] / PRO-GEAR SPEC / Creator/{{SNK}}"

* ''VideoGame/WonderBoyIIIMonsterLair''(UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 CD version only): "But you have fought off their wicked attempts and have locked these fiendish rogues in the eternal limbo of the...'''Monster Lair'''!"

** Each of the games of the second trilogy also has it at some point. "Zettai Ryoiki no Tobira" in a translated naming convention sense, as the hub-dimension of ABSOLUTE is what zettai ryoiki roughty translates to, and the Chrono Gates that lead to ABSOLUTE also are mentioned a lot and are key plot points. Mugen Kairo no Kagi gets dropped frequently as it refers to the Key to the Infinity Corridor, the mcguffin of the game. Lastly, Eigou Kaiki no Toki is only once at the very end, referring to the EternalRecurrence that the Will have been carrying out in destroying and resetting the universe over and over again.

* All the ''Franchise/MetalGear'' games after ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' have subtitles, and engage in subtitle drops:

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'': The in-game radio in the games mostly has songs with lyrics referencing the end of the world, either literally or metaphorically:

* ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'': At the end of your work day, AVAC announces the forecast for the following day, ending it by saying that "no umbrellas are allowed."

* Used in ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'', but you'd have to know the story behind it: The {{working title}} of the game was ''Black Lotus'', and an important mission has you trying to acquire one.

** When you start up ''VideoGame/Persona3DancingInMoonlight'' or ''VideoGame/Persona5DancingInStarlight'', one of the characters will shout out its title in time with the game's logo appearing.

* In one of the possible endings in ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' has Konrad narrate the inevitable fate of every soldier in war, neatly dropping the title in the middle.

* ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'': At the end of your first day of work, the AVAC announces the forecast for the following day, ending it by saying that "no umbrellas are allowed."
