Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* ''[http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Pirates-Ninjas-Zombies-Pandas-Coming-iPhone-Next-Month-28135.html Pirates Vs. Ninjas Vs. Zombies Vs. Pandas]''. Too bad they're not ''robot'' pandas.

* ''[[Halo]]'' is heavy in this trope (more so in the books) due to the Jackals, or Kig-Yar: a series of dinosaur-like aliens that travel around raiding vessels for goods to sell, like pirates(!). They're also employed by the overtly religious Covenant as special-forces soldiers and (in one case) as specialised assassins, making them a troperiffic race of Ninja Priest Commando Dinosaur Space Pirates. Wow.

* In ''[[Battle Moon Wars]]'', [[Tsukihime|Kohaku]] becomes Magical Amber who happens to be a [[Magical Girl]], witch, [[Miko]], [[Ninja]], and [[Meido|maid]].

** They got [[Gas Mask Mooks|rebreather systems]] apparently [[Nightmare Fuel|replacing the lower part of their faces. Oh yes, and it seems their skin is dissecated.]]

*** Then there's the [[Humongous Mecha|Avatar]], which can scrap the weapons of other Nod vehicles to use itself. This makes for a laser-flamethrower-CLOAKED-and-cloakdetecting humongous Mecha. With an extra laser cannon for good measure.

** Then there's the Protector Spectre and its description, which [[Exact Words|is the ghost of a mummy of an ancient high priest, which is pretty scary, but not as scary as the ghost of a mummy of an ancient werewolf high priest would be. Man, that'd be terrifying. And if he'd been a vampire before he caught lycanthropy? Wow. ...But I digress]]. The Protector Spectre, that is. [[Running Gag|Not]] [[Ambiguous Syntax|its description]].

* ''[[Killer7]]''. An old senile hitman, who spends the duration of the story getting raped by his maid, with seven split personalities which can manifest into the real world fighting suicide bomber zombie things who are really happy all the time. The split personalities are comprised of a black guy with resurrection powers, a badass anime stereotype with a revolver that can shoot energy balls, Mexican Tommy Vercetti with super jumping powers and the ability to fire a weapon upside down without breaking his elbow, a blind Chinese gangsta kid who can run really freaking fast and dual-wields submachineguns, a sniper chick who really ''really'' likes blood, a mute albino knife freak who can turn invisible, and a macho libre wrestler.

* ''[[Time Splitters]]'' worked on monkeys, robots and zombies being cool on their own in the first two games, but descended into madness by the third, with zombie monkeys, robot monkeys and ninja monkeys (and a pirate).

* Behold! [http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/wii-shark-gun-is-what-it-sounds-like-338563.php The Shark Gun for the Nintendo Wii (and/or Wæ#402;¼)!]

** His later review of ''Painkiller'', specifically the particular projectiles launched by a certain weapon. "Shurikens and lightning!"

* ''[[Gungrave]]'' is built around this. If ''Gungrave: Overdose'' didn't feature Rocketbilly Redcadillac - a rockabilly ghost possessing an electricity-shooting guitar - I wouldn't have bought it. Did I mention it's all designed by the creator of ''[[Trigun]]''?

** Another mod for Half-Life, ''[[Afraid of Monsters]]'', has this too. Not as blatant as the above mod, but one enemy in it is a ''giant flickering ghost alien [[Nightmare Face]] that shoot homing bees with a childish laughter''. But it's all okay, because it is only one of many hallucinations in the mod.

* ''[[Disgaea]]'' has all four: Ninjas (especially Yukimaru, [[Verbal Tic|zam]]), Pirates (in the Item Worlds of ''D2'', which can include both Zombie Pirates and Ninja Pirates), Zombies (including one with a "horse's wiener"...what?) and Robots (THURSDAY!, the [[Robot Buddy]] of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''')

* ''[[EarthBound]]''. [[Psychic Powers]], [[Killer Yoyo|Killer Yoyos]], dangerous hippies, malevolent aliens, sentient vomit...and so forth...and a little boy from [[Eagle Land]] is at the center of it all.

** However, ''[[Mother 3]]'' takes this trope and deconstructs it. In the second half of the game, most of the enemies are [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] or mechanized animals created by the Pigmasks. It really makes you want to kill their leader that much more.

* Auron, from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', is {{spoiler|a ghost-zombie/samurai. And if that's not enough, he is also either a magician or a demon, considering his power to kill things to death. Or [[Kill It with Fire|with fire]].}}

* Bloodrayne anyone? Half-vampire fighting (with a chain gun, elbow blades and metal stiletto spikes) insectazoid swamp monsters, zombies, deformed werewolfy vampires, many types of Nazis (aside from normal Nazis - Magic Nazi, Mad Scientist Nazi, Indentical Psysically-linked Twin Nazis, Cyborg Nazi, Nazi Priest with pulpit that has machine guns attached, Fire Breathing Nazi, Ninja Nazi, Demonically Possessed Nazis, Double Agent Half-Vampire Tibetan Nazi) and a giant skeletal mega-vampire. Rayne also has slow-mo and "aura-vision".

** The ''franchise'' is wrought with these. There's Blastoise, the water jet cannon tortoise, Scyther, the human-sized mantis ninja raptor with ''[[Sinister Scythe|scythes]] for arms'', Ho-oh, the rainbow-forming phoenix, Exploud, the organ boombox hippo, Gliscor, the scorpion bat crab, Golurk, the clay-sculpted ghost-possessed [[Giant Mecha]], Chandelure, the fire-spewing soul-sucking chandelier, Vanilluxe, the sentient Siamese ice cream cone, Genesect, the resurrected prehistoric bipedal insect with a cannon on its back that it can use as a [[Jet Pack]], Vespiquen, a combination of a [[Everything's Worse with Bees|bee]] and a battleship with a touch of European royalty...

** Reuniclus is a psychic-powered homunculus [[wikipedia:Tardigrade|tardigrade]] amoeba shaped like a teddy bear surrounded by cytoplasm and organelle arms aligned to look like a meter for volume that it often uses to manipulate the speed of everything in its environment. Oh yeah, it's based on a fetus too.

* Hakumen from ''[[BlazBlue]]'' is a robot ghost samurai who may qualify for {{spoiler|zombie because of his near-death as Jin}}.

* ''OMG Pirates!'' is a popular game for the iPhone, where you play a ninja taking revenge on the pirates who destroyed his [[Doomed Hometown|village]]. The pirates use various forms of anachronistic (and [[Rule of Cool|awesome]]) piratey tech such as a rum-powered [[Jet Pack|jetpack]]/[[Kill It with Fire|flamethrower]].

* '''[[Scribblenauts|I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES.]]'''

** Also quite possible to do in Super Scribblenauts's new Adjective addition: "[[The Cameo|Piratic Zombified Robotic Ninja]]".

** And Shepard, an undead cyborg (possibly) telekinetic [[Space Marine]].

* [[Artix Entertainment]] Brings us the Dracowerepyre, which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Vampire Werewolf Dragon]]
