Examples of [[Fan Nickname]]s in [[Video Games]] include:
* ''[[Goemon (series)|Ganbare Goemon]]''
** Robo-Shota - [[Robot Buddy]] Sasuke, thanks to his small stature, naiveté, and reputation as the perennial [[Uke]] in the Japanese fandom. The [[Ninja Maid|maid costume]] he gets in ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' only makes things worse.
Line 13 ⟶ 16:
** Shiro Tamagotchi
** Tahnhakai Temphell - Named for Tahnhakai Temple, a terrible difficulty spike amongst [[Sequel Difficulty Spike|many]] in ''Factions''.
** Grand Court of Seb
* ''[[Guilty Gear]]''
** Coconut - Ky Kiske, due to his Stun Edge special where he says the word because of the game's multiple-voice system.

** Captain King - Master Chief, after a thread on 4chan's /v/.
** Fans seem to have taken up on the Covenant's name for the monitors, oracle.

** Noob Combo - The plasma pistol and battle rifle from Halo 2, two weapons which, together, were practically a [[Game Breaker]]. The pistol received a nerf in 3 to undermine this.
** Half-Jaw: The Shipmaster (named Rtas 'Vadum in the fluff), an Elite commander, named after the fact that he is missing two of the predatorish mandibles that Elites have.
** Arby/Arbs - The Arbiter
*** Arbitur - M4stur Ch!3f (or some variant) of [[Arby 'n' the Chief]] calls the Arbiter this. He's called him many things, of course, but this is the only one translatable from [[L 33 t Lingo]] I can think of.
