Line 99:
* Thanks to voice acting being brought into the second game, [[Ni GHTS]] from [[Ni GHTS Into Dreams|said titular game]] now speaks with a posh woman's accent, causing many people to think that they're a woman ''despite [[Word of God|it being confirmed]] that Nights has no gender''. [[Ni GHTS]]' voice can be interpreted either as a woman or a young boy; it sounds equally like both.
* Birdo from ''[[Super Mario Bros]] 2''. While there is more than one member of the species (much like Yoshi), the main one featured in the games is a male...most of the time. Nintendo has [[Flip Flop of God|changed Birdo's official gender from male to female to]] [[Ambiguous Gender|not really saying if it's one or the other.]]
* Emilio Michaelov from ''[[Psychic Force]]'', at least in the Japanese version, has a very feminime, timid voice, combined with his wings and even androgynious body shape and hair The US voice acting does remove this doubt, [[So Bad
* ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' characters:
** Zhange He -- Long hair, sometimes butterfly wings, pink and purple clothes, flowers EVERYWHERE. The only way you can tell his gender is by his voice.
Line 162:
* ''[[Golden Sun Dark Dawn]]''
** When the first playable Water Adept was revealed, fans were confused by "Crown", who wears an absurdly short tunic and leggings similar to Karis's, has [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]] in a bowl cut, fights similarly to Mia, and has [[Voice Grunting|high-pitched squeaks for a voice]]. "Crown" was [[Dub Name Change|renamed Rief]] for the dub, which makes his gender a little more clear: the [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|dude looks like a little girl]].
** Then the second playable Water Adept was revealed. A slender, [[Moe]] [[The Ingenue|Inegenue]] whose name in Japanese is phonetically identical to "[[Spell My Name With an "S"|Harmony]]". And an introductory storyline including an extnded [[Shirtless Scene]]. The European official site cited the [[Dub Name Change|redubbed]] Amiti as a girl for a while, and we can't really blame them for being confused. {{spoiler|Them being second cousins could indicate that this is a family trait.}}
* ''[[Dark Souls]]'': It's easy to mistake the androgynous Gwyndolin for a woman. It's how he was raised.
* In universe example with Minogame from ''[[Hellsinker]]'' whose gender is described as impossible to tell from appearence. {{spoiler|1=He/She is a [[Hermaphrodite]]}}.
