History StealthPun / VideoGames

** Also from that case, there's a clown called Moe who gives you a DeathGlare. [[spoiler:Yes, it's a MoeStare.]]

* In the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe seventh]] ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' game, three Pegasus Knight sisters share similar names. The first two, Florina and Fiora, are Latin words for "flower," while third sister Farina's name means "flour."

*** [[PungeonMaster Teddie]], who has been making [[IncrediblyLamePun un-bear-able]] puns throughout the entire game. So what Persona do you get when finishing his social link? [[spoiler:Helel, the Light-'''bear'''-er.]]

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' removed several characters from ''Melee'' that were (moveset-wise) clones: VideoGame/DrMario, [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Roy]], [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pichu]], and [[Franchise/TheLegendofZelda Young Link]] (though the last one was replaced with ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]''[='s=] Toon Link, essentially changing nothing). It also removed [[CloningBlues Mewtwo]]...[[spoiler:a heavily modified clone of another Pokémon.]]

*** RiskOfRain, coincidentally produced by the same company as SpiritualSuccessor VideoGame/{{Starbound}}, is nearly just as random, and also features, nearly, all of the above.

* In ''VideoGame/WheresMyWater'', if all of the water were to flow off-screen, then the alligator you're supposed to have the water go into his bathtub will start [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_tears crying]].

** In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', Mileena's second Fatality is called "Rip Off." She tosses her sais at the victim's feet then rips their torso off. More dedicated ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fans [[spoiler:will recognize it as a rip-off, in the imitation sense, of one of Kira's Fatalities in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'']].
*** Not to mention the obvious pun: [[spoiler:she's cutting them down two sais/to size]].

** Either that or [[spoiler:[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshadow_%28song%29 He's being followed by a Moonshadow.]]]]

----

* The head of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'''s [[TheMafia mafia-esque]] Team Rocket is named Giovanni, making him [[spoiler:Don Giovanni]].

** Also coming from Sinnoh, we have Shaymin, a Grass-type Mythical Pokemon whose Land Forme resembles a hedgehog. [[spoiler:Shaymin's land form is literally a ''hedge''hog.]]

** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' introduces Marshadow, a Fighting-type Pokemon that commonly hides in shadows, which makes it [[spoiler: a ''literal'' shadow boxer]].

** ''Repentance'' introduces an alternate set of "tainted" counterparts to the main cast. Tainted ???, whose base form represents Isaac's asphyxiated corpse and whose character gimmick is poop, has puffed-out cheeks and some brown stains around his mouth. [[spoiler:He ate shit and died!]]

* Several bosses in ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' are modeled after the SevenDeadlySins. With one exception, they have unique character models. The exception is Sloth, who is a reskinned Globin (and his Super Sloth form is a reskinned Glazing Globin). [[spoiler:He has a lazy character design.]]

* The text-based game ''Scapeghost'' has you as detective Alan Chance killed during an undercover drugs operation and coming back from the dead to take revenge. You are literally the Ghost of A. Chance.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}} and the Seven Sirens'', a woman says that her large fans have so many admirers that she has started... an admiration horde. [[spoiler:''Fan'' club.]]
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'''s Mara isn't exactly subtle, being a giant penis demon and all, but ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' has a couple of subtle jokes in his stats: All of his physical attacks are pierce-type (including Primal Force, the strongest single-target pierce attack in the game,) and he's weak against ice.
** Also from ''Persona 3'', would you consider Akihiko's style of combat to be [[spoiler:shadow boxing?]]
* ''VideoGame/Persona4'' has [[PungeonMaster Teddie]], who has been making [[IncrediblyLamePun un-bear-able]] puns throughout the entire game. So what Persona do you get when finishing his social link? [[spoiler:Helel, the Light-'''bear'''-er.]]

** In ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'', it's eventually revealed that the Yatagarasu's Key [[spoiler:has a handle that opens up to reveal a concealed knife blade. They key part has a bit shaped like a butterfly, and the way the handle opens makes it a ''literal'' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balisong_%28knife%29 butterfly knife.]]]]

* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', [[spoiler:Namin&eacute tells Kairi at one point to "Believe in yourself," whilst trying to convince her to step through a dark portal.]] If you don't get it, remember that [[spoiler:Naminé is Kairi's [[LiteralSplitPersonality Nobody]].]]

* ''VideoGame/DoubleSpoilerTouhouBunkachou'' is another camera-based ''Franchise/TohouProject'' GaidenGame starring the reporter Aya Shameimaru. Given [[CreatorsPet how much fans love Aya]], one has to wonder why? Well, it's been joked that Aya is ZUN's girlfriend. And ZUN is apparently aware of this, because he's releasing ''Double Spoiler'' on White Day, i.e. the day that boys give gifts back to their girlfriends to thank them for the Valentine's Day chocolate.

** Undyne is a fish lady whose main weapon is her magic polearm. [[spoiler:[[https://www.igfa.org/species/230-spearfish-atlantic.aspx?CommonName=230-spearfish-atlantic.aspx Spearfish]].]] She's also clad head to toe in intimidating black plate armor. [[spoiler: [[http://theterramarproject.org/species/156/West+Australian+Knight+Fish+ Knightfish]].]]

** In ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'', Squares believes strongly in what's "[[OrderIsNotGood right]]." He talks about "right choices," "right outcomes," and "being right." He embodies ''right angles'' in more ways than one.

** O from ''Puyo Puyo VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' is shaped like a circle and can only say "pi".

* In ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'', the rooster mask is named Richard. Or, in other words, the cock is named Dick.

* The people of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Figaro]] live in a fortified city in the middle of the desert. It can be sunk underground by means of a special mechanism. It would not be too much of a stretch to call it a [[spoiler:sand castle]].

* The last zone of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV Final Fantasy 14's Shadowbringers expansion]] is an illusionary recreation of [[spoiler: Amaurot, the lost home of the people now called the Ascians, created by the last member of the Unsundered to properly remember it, shortly before his death at the hands of the Warrior Of Darkness/Light]]. In other words, it's a [[spoiler: final fantasy]].

* ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' is all about [[FlippingTheBird flipping birds]] at [[DirtyCop evil pigs]].
** The white egg-shaped birds drop egg bombs at their targets, making them 'egg-layers' (a slang term for bomber planes).
** ''Angry Birds in Space'' featured a ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''-themed bonus level. Just think about it.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' brings us a very odd example of a stealth RussianReversal joke. One of the enemies encountered in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley is the [[http://darksouls.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Witch Fire Witch]]. These are female witches who wield burning stakes that they use both as a weapon and to cast fire spells. That's right, [[RussianReversal in Boreal Irithyll,]] [[BurnTheWitch witch burns]] ''[[RussianReversal you]]''!
