The Video Game Villainess Encyclopedia

Recent Updates

03/27/10 - Well, it's been a full year now since this site has had a real update, so I thought I would let everyone know what's up. The lack of attention is partly due to priorities in my life that have come up, but there is another reason. I've come to the point where myself being the sole contributer to the page (aside from the occasional email recommendation, of which I am very appreciative of) has become a bit discouraging, especially in this age of wiki-esque websites.

In specific regard to video games, some of you may be familiar with the website Giant Bomb, which has been a particularly great venue for this. I would like a similar setup for the Villainess Encyclopedia, where visitors can contribute pictures and summaries themselves, complete with cross-referencing and all that good stuff. However, I am still on the newb end of web development, and if I were to give my site such a makeover, I would need some help. Until then, I plan to continue to focus the majority of my efforts on Giant Bomb (I am the user Villainess there).

So, in conclusion, this site is not dead, but just resting, and I'd like to thank again everyone who has supported this lamentably-niche interest over the years.

07/02/09 - I apologize once again for the delays in updates. I'm planning to start on some games again here soon. Strictly 80's and 90's stuff. The more time that passes and the more of this gaming genration I see, the more I'm finding myself to be a staunch "old-school" fanboy. (Watered down villainesses, or even villains for that matter, in modern games is a significant reason).

In other news, June 27th marked the 5th anniversary of this website! Hopefully, I'll run across enough new evil, badass female villains to keep me motivatedto go another 5 (and longer)!

03/27/09 - Sorry for the delay in updates. The number of game releases in this first quarter was quite significant. It's an all Capcom/Clove-atinum update tonight, with characters being added from Biohazard 5 (Resident Evil 5), Dead Rising (Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop), MadWorld, Okami. I have also recently aquired a new DVD-RW burner, which should enable somewhat better captures of console games from the past 8 years or so. A few images for Baten Kaitos: OTtUU and Rygar: TBoA have been added/replaced accordingly. Oh, and one last note. While I haven't received any complaints for it, I've begun (spoiler) warning certain characters in the drop down lists as a courtesy.

02/24/09 - Tonight comes yet another update that I've been waiting a good 2 years to do. Scylla from the Hugo game series. The reason that this one took so long is that there are so many Hugo games, with so many re-releases, as well as multi-language releases, under different names that it was hard to keep track of. Because of this, and since Scylla is (to date) the sole villainess of this series, I have decided to combine all of her appearences in 1 page. Enjoy!

02/19/09 - Added characters from the following games: Lit. Also added the DS exclusive enemies to: Chrono Trigger.

02/05/09 - A few more games that I had been dragging my feet to update with. Characters from: Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles (Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles), Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, No More Heroes have been added.

02/04/09 - Not exactly sure why I waited so many years to add these two games. I suppose it was because I was disappointed with the villainesses in each of them (in the case of the first one, she turned out to be a watered-down version of her former self). Nevertheless, characters from: Breath of Fire III, Gensou Suikoden III have been added.

02/02/09 - Well, it's a new month, so I should probably get at least 1 update in here. Characters from: Argus no Senshi (Rygar: The Legendary Adventure), Argus no Senshi: Muscle Impact (Rygar: The Battle of Argus) have been added.

12/31/08 - And with that, the "Year of the Villainess" feature comes to a close. While at times exhausting, I can't deny that it was very fun.

The idea actually came to mind on January 1st of this year, leaving me very little time to prepare. I pulled up a new spreadsheet, made 366 rows for the days, and then started filling the blanks left and right with all "qualified" villainesses that popped into my head, until I had filled in approximately one third of the year. The remaining slots were filled as the months went on when I either remembered some I had forgot, or was introduced to new ones. While, ideally, I would have liked for it to have been purely villainesses, I just couldn't resist putting in some of my and favorites, such as Melodia from "Baten Kaitos." I tried to put as many females on the anniversary of their particular series' release date as I could, but some had already been taken and had to be relocated. In other, rarer, cases, there were random factors for date placement (such as putting Shinigami Nurse on April 4th). All in all, I don't have many regrets for this project, though if I had to do over again (and had the proper funds to throw around) I suppose I would like to have hired a sprite artist to make sprites of each of the 366 participants.

Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed this feature, and now that it's finished I should have more time for proper updates to the site. Happy New Year!

12/25/08 - A quick holiday update to close out the "Mother" trilogy. Characters from: Mother 3 have been added.

Also, in case anyone was wondering why no Christmas-themed females made it to the Villainess of the Day, well, I couldn't find any... (Actually, I gave consideration to Cousin Mel from "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," but the song that she sings soured me pretty quick on that choice.)

So instead, please enjoy Neena Hargen in her red and white ultranate form.

11/24/08 - Added characters from the following games: Akumajou Dracula Judgment (Castlevania Judgment).

10/29/08 - Back after a few months of game playing and other distractions. Tonight's update is: Akumajou Dracula: Ubawareta Kokuin (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia). Personally, found this entry in the series to have the best new enemies since "Aria of Sorrow," with the quality of sprite design for some coming close to "Symphony of the Night" levels. However, I apologize that I cannot yet showcase said visuals for many of the enemies, as I could not find official screenshots for them all, and had to rely on my DS, as well as an old & very cheap pc cam, which left me with some significantly blurry results. At first opportunity, I plan to replace them with sprite rips as I have done with the other games.

07/30/08 - Added characters from the following games: Thunder Jaws.

07/29/08 - Updated pages (primarily bosses) for: Final Fantasy I, II, III, and IV with versions from the various remakes they've received over the past couple years.

07/12/08 - Added characters from the following games: Continental.

07/06/08 - My internet service returned sooner than I expected, and I'm ready to resume updates. Added characters from the following games: Angel Hearts, Holy Umbrella: Dondera no Mubo!!.

07/05/08 - I'd like to apologize for the delayed updates of the past few days. To summarize the situation, I am in the process of moving to a new home, and have already lost internet service at my old house, while still awaiting it to arrive at my new house ~~(currently scheduled for July 9th)~~. I didn't quite anticipate my internet transition to turn out this way, so I've hopped on a public hotspot and updated the "Year of the Villainess" for the coming week. I will also have at least a couple of game updates ready when I return.

06/28/08 - Did some further sprucing (adding Japanese names, formatting, etc.) for several more games, including: Dungeon Buster Explores, Faussete Amour, Magic Knight, and Shoujo Yuugi ~ Ai Notameni Shine. I also updated each of the Battle Skin Panic/(9821) pages by adding the Super Battle Skin Panic versions of the characters. And lastly, I finally got around to adding the 72 regular enemies for Ginga Yukyou Densetsu RC Tobacker.

06/18/08 - Spruced up a lot of character pages, including: Dakkan Kikou Luvnatier, Dengeki Nurse, Dengeki Nurse 2, Xediss. I also FINALLY got around to translating both the name and story info for the primary villainess of Rusty.

04/26/08 - A little backstory. In 2004, upon this site's creation, the very first 2 games that I updated with were "Final Fight 2" and "Final Fight 3/Tough." I did not feature "Final Fight" because, at that time, I was under the impression that characters Poison & Roxy were, and had forever been, transvestites.

One of the policies of the Video Game Villainess Encyclopedia is: birth-females only. In other words:
futanaris and miscellaneous F-->M
shemales and misc. M-->F.

With some recent research, however, I've come to discover that both of these characters were designed by their creator with the intention of being female for the original arcade title, and it wasn't until the Super NES port came about that the change was made. Considering that these characters did not make it into that particular port even after the change, it is a bit of a shame that their genders were officially changed from that moment on, nonetheless. Long story short, because they were female up until the SNES port, I have finally decided to update with Final Fight (Arcade).

In a bit of irony, it was also revealed to me that Final Fight 2's Eliza and Mary, too, are transvestites, so therefore, I have removed the game from the list.

04/25/08 - I've given the game list menu a bit of an overhaul.

04/19/08 - Added characters from the following games: Dragon Princess: Meikyuu no Madoushi, Extra, Heracles no Eikou, Heracles no Eikou III: Kamigami no Chinmoku.

04/11/08 - At long last, a significant update. Added characters from the following games: Ankoku Densetsu (Legendary Axe II), Heracles no Eikou II: Titan no Metsubou.

01/29/08 - Tiny update. I've added Captain Rose from: Treasure Island Z: Barbaros no Hiho (Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure) after finally completing it this past weekend. As a side note, I'd like to toss my 2 cents into the internet hype pool and concur that this is indeed an excellent title and one that should not be missed by Wii owners, especially those who love puzzles in their games.

01/07/08 - I've added a link to RPG, VG, Anime Femme Fatale Mind Control.

01/02/08 - Added characters from the following games: EKUDORADO - Romgreich Inner Spiegel.

01/01/08 - I've decided to make 2008 the "Year of the Villainess!" and to commemorate, I plan to feature 366 villainesses, one for each day. They won't just be from video games, but from anime, manga, cartoons, comics and even live action. Villainesses from past days can be accessed by clicking the button on the right.
