History GroinAttack / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/GHOSTSquad'', successfully completing Mission 3's first [[PressXToNotDie Hand-to-Hand Combat]] scene yields a cutscene of your character beating up his opponents, one of which he punches in the groin.

** In ''Wrestlemania XIX'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, as well as ''Wrestlemania 2000'' and ''No Mercy'' for the Nintendo 64, no groin shot is illegal, and every hit to the groin is accompanied by an audible '''''[DING!]'''''.

* Hong Yuli and Yoko Cindy Matsudaira, who come from the classic Creator/{{Konami}} [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS1]] fighting game, ''VideoGame/KenseiSacredFist'', had specialized in groin attacks, in which Yuli had a special move that enabled her to first strike an opponent in the groin with her own two feet while lying on the ground before attacking their stomach and face with a rapid assault of fast kicks while Cindy had a special move in which she would grab and lift an opponent's legs while they were on the ground so that she could then stomp on their family jewels with her own right foot. Strangely enough after the special move, Cindy would grab and hold herself from within a hug while making a sexual-like moan as if she had enjoyed it. Perhaps she has some sort of ballbust fetish?

* One of the distinctive features of the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series is the ability to target attacks at specific regions of an opponent; one of these is the groin (which elicits all sorts of silly comments from characters). If this attack is used on a super mutant, it will respond with "Ha ha ha, we do not share that weakness!".

*** Unfortunately for the boiler, despite having literal metal balls, the BallsOfSteel trope does not apply to him.

* This is actually how you damage BonusBoss Phantom in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''.

* As is one of Sophitia's grapple moves in the ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' series. [[ApologeticAttacker "I'm sorry!"]] (She can use it on other women, but she aims for their abdomen rather than their groin and doesn't apologize afterwards.) The attack is called ''"Widow Maker"''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'':

** In every game since ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 3'', wrestler King has also had one of these: on a downed opponent (male, female, animal, machine, whatever), he can grab the ankles, lift and open, and dive. Head first. He's also got the Manhattan Drop as part of his chain-throws. Supposedly, it's a knee strike to the tailbone, but...

* Because of the relative positions of the characters, it is common for anti-air moves in fighting games to visually hit the airborne character in their nether regions, often looking hilarious when there’s a KO pause or replay. The same happens with juggle combos: a typical juggle combo in, say, Tekken, usually consists of launching the opponent to the air and striking them repeatedly in the groin.

* In ''Super Snail'' this is the origin of a very unhappy hitman going after Super Snail. He was originally [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Galford's ninja dog]], but after Galford shacked up with his girlfriend she complained about the dog humping her leg. So Galford took a pair of scissors and snipped off the dog's testes. After that the dog killed them in revenge and is working as a contract killer.

* At the end of the third episode of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead: Season Two'', [[spoiler:Troy]] is shot in the dick by [[spoiler: Jane]] to attract the walkers over to him as he dies whimpering and screaming. It's implied that she was sleeping with him to stay in good standing with the group's leader, Carver, and she doesn't bat an eye as she leaves the [[AssholeVictim sleazy shmuck]] to rot.

* [[VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammer]]: An ambient dialogue in combat between Imperial and Dwarf troops is an Imperial state trooper saying "[[UseYourHead He headbutted me]] in the groin!"

** ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has Yosuke on the receiving end of [[KickChick one of Chie's kicks]]. "Critical hit to the nads." Immortalized in a certain WebComic/{{Hiimdaisy}} comic ([[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_jhslhcGE4s TRIAL OF THE DRAGONNNN]]).

** In his reveal trailer for ''Mortal Kombat 11'', ''Film/{{Robocop}}'s'' fatality is to bounce a grenade off his opponent's head, then wait until it falls low enough that he can shoot them through the groin and set the grenade off.

** Note that aimed attacks that hits women's groins [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome are almost exactly as effective as on men]], prompting the messages "[Character']s childbearing operations have been compromised" or "She takes it like a man. That is to say, it hurts like a motherfucker."

** Asteroth in several games has an attack throw where he slides his axe between his opponent's legs, then rests the hilt over one knee before smashing down on the high end, which sends his opponent flying into the air.
