History PunBasedTitle / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/KangFu'', referring to the marital art "kung fu" and the animal "kangaroo".

* ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros.]] '''for''' Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' is a clever homophone that showcases both the availability of the games for those consoles, and them being collectively the '''fourth''' installment in the series.

* ''[[VideoGame/Splatoon]]'' is a pretty smart one most people overlook, from "splat" (referring to the ink) and "platoon" (referring to the combat).

* ''[[http://www.supercanemagic.com/ Super Cane Magic ZERO]]'' is a RPG made by Italian devs and featuring the art of Italian cartoonist Sio. It's about a dog that ate a magic cane and [[RealityWarper made the world fall into chaos]] with its now-magical barks. But "cane" (pronounced ''kah-nay'') in Italian means "dog", so it's about a cane-wielding ''cane'', thus explaining the subtitle "Legend of the Cane Cane". By the way, [[CaptainObvious "Zero" means "zero" in Italian]].

* Many levels in ''VideoGame/{{Croc}}: Legend of the Gobbos'' are named with a pun, usually a poor one at that. Examples include "I Snow Him So Well" (being in the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld snow themed world]] and License to Chill, also on the snow island and Be Wheely Careful, in reference to the large spinning cogs which Croc must ride to navigate the level. Others are debatable as to whether they are true puns, but are intruging none the less, such as And So the Adventure Begins (the first level in the game, go figure), Cave Fear, Life's a Beach and The Tower of Power.

* ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'': In Japanese, "Okami" can mean either "wolf" or "great deity", though each meaning is written differently in kanji (the game's title uses the kanji for the latter). Fittingly, the game's story involves Amaterasu, one of the most important deities in Myth/JapaneseMythology, taking the form of a wolf.

By the way, [[CaptainObvious "Zero" means "zero" in Italian]].

* ''Private Eye Dol'', a graphic adventure game for the [[TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]], is about an idol singer who is also a detective.

** The same thing has been done with ''VideoGame/GameTengoku'''s sequel, ''[=GUNbare=]! Game Tengoku''.

* ''Purikura Daisakusen'' an arcade and UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn game by Creator/{{Atlus}}, refers to two things. "Purikura" (or "[=PriCla=]") is both the Japanese abbreviation for Princess Clara, the game's main character (who originated in the VideoGame/PowerInstinct franchise), and for the "Print Club", a series of photo booths that allow you to print pictures with funny effects, trademarked by Atlus in Japan.

* ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'': the first syllable of "xeno" sounds like 'Z', which thus invokes the name "''Manga/DragonBallZ''".

* ''VideoGame/LEGOCityUndercover: The Chase Begins'' is a {{Nintendo 3DS}} {{prequel}} to the UsefulNotes/WiiU game, detailing how the protagonist Chase [=McCain=] became an elite member of the LEGO City Police Force.

* The third ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' video game for the {{NES}} was subtitled ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheManhattanProject The Manhattan Project]]'' and involved Shredder's plot to turn Manhattan into a floating island.

* ''VideoGame/LEGOCityUndercover: The Chase Begins'' is a {{Nintendo 3DS}} {{prequel}} to the WiiU game, detailing how the protagonist Chase [=McCain=] became an elite member of the LEGO City Police Force.

* HudsonSoft's ''Momotarō Densetsu'' ("The Legend of Momotarō") led to a MorePopularSpinoff called ''Momotarō Dentetsu'' ("Momotarō Electric Railway").

* James Pond: Underwater Agent is an obvious pun on James Bond (who is an underCOVER agent). His arch nemesis is Dr. Maybe (after Dr. No), and most of the levels in the game are (terrible) James Bond puns, such as "A View To A Spill" and "Leak and Let Die".

* The Nintendo3DS' title is a pun on the name of its predecessor, the NintendoDS, and the 3DS' new stereoscopic 3D feature.
