History LauncherOfAThousandShips / VideoGames

** The real winner of this trope, as far as Generation V goes, is N Harmonia. The fact that he's characterized as [[AmbiguousDisorder socially awkward]] has not stopped fans from pairing him with (drumroll): [[FoeYayShipping Hilda]], [[HoYay Hilbert]], [[OneTrueThreesome both]], Nate, Rosa, Bianca, Cheren, Serena, Red, [[InterspeciesRomance Zoroark]], and '''[[IncestYay Ghestis]]'''!!

* In spite of all the major characters being animatronics, the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series has a lot of these, but out of all of them, [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Ballora]] takes the cake. She had been shipped with Baby, Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, Ennard, Springtrap, the Puppet and even Bonnie and Freddy!

* Considering what the cast of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series looks like, there is a surprisingly amount of these.

%%** Axel is the fandom bicycle: everybody gets a ride!
%%** And then there's Demyx. [[http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq266/negima_hyuuga/Demyx_pairings___KH2_comic_by_Keysh.jpg He's the Organization's bitch.]]

** Kasumi is shipped with multiple characters, ranging from the fairly mainstream [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ryu Hayabusa]], the more [[YuriFan yurilicious]] Hitomi or Christie, all the way to straight up [[BrotherSisterIncest incest]] with her half sister Ayane, or their older brother Hayate. It would seem that whoever the preferred character is, shippers generally feel they go nicely with [[HeroesWantRedheads the cute redheaded kunoichi]].

** The games fan fiction's poster girl is Lady Jaina Proudmoore by far. She's often shipped with Sylvanas Windrunner, Arthas (pre- and post-undeath), Warchief Thrall (a pairing once characterized on the official Blizzard [=WoW=] General Discussion Forum as "Bow-Chikca-Lok'Tar", and every fan fic writer who writes about his own [=PCs=] will have them meet Jaina at some point. There are also those that ship her with Kael'thas Sunstrider, who had a crush on her (although it was apparently unrequited).

*** Juri Han, being the {{depraved|bisexual}} {{psycho|Lesbian}} that she is, gets this treatment too. It doesn't help that Juri [[MemeticMolester might be trying to make it canon from her side]] ([[EvilIsSexy the fans don't seem to mind]]).

* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}:'' [[TheProtagonist Kiryu Kazuma]] has been shipped with '''nearly every character [[HoYay (mostly male)]] in the franchise'''. Not that the games [[ChickMagnet don't]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim encourage]] [[MagneticHero it.]]
** Besides his [[LoveInterest canon love interests]], [[ActionGirl Kaoru]] and [[FirstLove Yumi]], he is often shipped with [[TheRival Majima]], [[EvilFormerFriend Nishiki]], and [[HandicappedBadass Tachibana.]]
** Even [[FoeYayShipping antagonists]] and his [[EvilCounterpart Evil Counterparts]] can't resist! [[ThereCanOnlyBeOne Ryuji]], [[TragicVillain Mine]], [[ShadowArchetype Someya...]] Hell, some even ship him with the ''[[EvilOldFolks Dojima Lieutenants!]]''

* Atsuki Saijo from ''VisualNovel/LuxPain'' has a good amount of ShipTease with everyone.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' fan fiction's poster girl is Lady Jaina Proudmoore by far. She's often shipped with Arthas (pre- and post-undeath), Warchief Thrall (a pairing once characterized on the official Blizzard [=WoW=] General Discussion Forum as "Bow-Chikca-Lok'Tar"), a triangle between the three (and I'm sure a [[OT3 ménage à trois]] has been done at least once)...every fan fic writer who writes about his own [=PCs=] will have them meet Jaina at some point.
** Jaina/Arthas (pre-undeath) actually ''is'' canon: they used to date when they were both teenagers.
*** And yes, they did sleep together. They would have married too, if not Arthas decided they both should finish their studies first. And when they were done with that, there was that whole undeath plague...
** Kael'thas Sunstrider! He canonically had a crush on her (although it was apparently unrequited).
*** Jaina ''was'' heiress to the throne of Kul Tiras before the fall of Lordaeron, and Arthas and Kael'thas were both crown princes of their respective allied kingdoms. Given how royalty is often married off to allied royalty, its not surprising that she'd have been socially introduced to every male heir in her age group from every ally Kul Tiras had.

%%* Atsuki Saijo from ''VisualNovel/LuxPain'' has a good amount of ShipTease with everyone.

* As the only female character in ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' who can be brought to the final battle, and hence the only one who can canonically meet the protagonists from other eras, Li has been shipped across time and space. Popular love interests include Akira and [[FoeYayShipping Odio]], but Masaru and Oboromaru are also occasional fic subjects, as is Yuan in the {{Fix Fic}}s where [[spoiler:they both survive.]]

** While Krystal is being shipped with AnythingThatMoves.

** In the ''[=MGS=]'' fandom itself, Otacon's probably earned this. He's been paired with Snake, Mei Ling, Raiden, Liquid, Grey Fox, Big Boss, Mantis, and [[Fanfic/{{Stray}} young Ocelot]], time paradoxes and plausibility be damned.

** Leon Magnus from ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'', as the fan favourite, has been paired with everyone. [[OedipusComplex Marian]], Stahn, [[ShipMates Philia]], [[CargoShip Chaltier]], [[BrotherSisterIncest Rutee]], [[ParentalIncest Hu]][[MemeticMolester go]], [[spoiler: [[ScrewYourself Judas]]]], [[CrackPairing Lilith]], sometimes even [[CrossoverShip Yuri]]. Oddly, [[spoiler: Judas]] is rarely shipped with anyone besides Harold or Philia.

* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': Arthur Morgan has been shipped with just about every character in the game, both female and male. Most fans like to have him shipped with Sadie, Mary-Beth, Charlotte, Tilly, Marston, Charles Smith, and Dutch, if they aren't shipping him with themselves (male ''and'' female readers alike).
