History GroinAttack / VideoGames

** In his reveal trailer for ''Mortal Kobat 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 [[RealityEnsues 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."

* Strangely, the groin is the "weak spot" of the final boss of ''VideoGame/FarCry'' (PC version). He can take a few clips of assault rifle fire to the head, but shoot him in the groin and he kneels over dead after only several bullets.

* In ''DeadOrAlive'', there aren't any true dedicated low blow attacks like there are in other fighting games, but certain attacks will result in a low blow depending on positioning.

* At the end of the third episode of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead: Season Two'', [[spoiler:Troy]] has his balls shot by 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.

* At the end of the third episode of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead: Season Two'', [[spoiler:Troy]] has his balls shot by Jane to attract the walkers over to him as he dies whimpering and screaming. The rest of the group is visibly shocked by the brutality. Helps that he was a AssholeVictim.

* The UrExample of this trope is ''VideoGame/YieArKungFu'', one of the first ever {{Fighting Game}}s, from 1985. It is possible to strike opponents in the groin, with one character, Buchu, reacting to it with a unique animation. When he gets hit in the crotch, his eyes bug out and the game says "nǐ hǎo" (which is Mandarin Chinese for "hi" or "hello").

** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Cage also pulled this move on Goro in the movie]]... Which is even funnier as it's subverted just the tiniest point when Johnny runs from the ring, up the stairs, and has to pause, wincing in pain and shaking off the hand he punched with, and hissing "Damn! That ''hurt!''"

* In ''VideoGame/BattleChess'', if a Pawn takes down a Knight, it's depicted by having the Pawn kick the Knight in the groin.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'':

* One of the Joker's fatalities in "VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse" is punching his opponent to the ground and slamming the heel of his shoe into his opponent's groin. Ouch!

* An esoteric example occurs in "VideoGame/SplinterCell" Conviction, where the always-lethal melee attack is visually translated as Sam, Archer, or Kestrel grabbing the enemy's weapon hand, holding it safely away from themselves, and deliberately booting the mook in his uprights to incapacitate them.

* This appears to be the only thing that you do to the final boss, an ancient god of destruction, Malpercio, from "VideoGame/BatenKaitos". Considering he looks like a demon that about 4x taller than the protagonist and his friends but squats really low with his knees spread out wide as a spread eagle his jewels are at just right height for Kalas and co. to abuse them. The targeting reticle is even aimed right for the poor guy's demonly manhood, so every spell, slash, strike, and item only hits his unlucky crotch. It almost looks as if the developers did it on purpose for fun. I guess if the fate of the world depends on whether you win in a fight against an evil, ancient, 20 something foot tall god of destruction it would make sense to go for his 'vital' parts, he definitely won't be getting back up for quite some time.

** While fighting Buga the Knut, Conker has his newly tamed therosaur tackle him in the groin. This gets him to drop his loincloth so the aforementioned therosaur could bite his butt about 3 times, to the point where has removed enough flesh not to allow Buga's loincloth to come back on. This exposes his biggest secret-namely, the fact that he actually has a very tiny "bone."

** Johnny’s daughter, Cassie, inherits his tenacity for giving people nut shots in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX''. Her x-ray move, in which she smashes them to a pulp, gives her opponent a PistolWhip then shoots out their eyes is so brutal even the developers forbid it being shown. In addition, one of her [[FinishingMove Brutalities]] is a punch to the groin so hard and so painful, the victim's head pops off of the shoulders like a piece of cork on a bottle of champagne. In ''Videogame/MortalKombat11'', she not only has a personal drone that will tackle itself into an enemy's groin for her grab move but one of her fatalities is a [[Series/AmericanGods running groin kick so hard their spine pops out of their body]].

** ''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 ([[http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/26044.html TRIAL OF THE DRAGONNNN]]).

* Ken Masters gets one of these in one of his ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' endings... [[spoiler:More specifically, the III one -- and he got it courtesy of his five-year-old son Mel. And boy, did poor Eliza freak out when she saw this.]]

** Makoto does this as the [[http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/6756/1266805726095.gif opening part of her ''Seichuusen Godanzuki'']] Super/Ultra move, then punches them before [[MegatonPunch sending them flying]]. This one's a bit more serious since the focus of the move is really more on the power of the attack than getting hit in the no-zone.
