10 Dumbest Video Game Costumes We Absolutely LOVE

Unlockable costumes are an Easter egg of sorts that has been an inherent part of gaming for the longest time.

Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat offered palette swaps and colour-coded ninjas, before the likes of Tekken stepped it up with alternate costumes for fighters. Superhero games added more variety to their wardrobes, with Rocksteady's Batman trilogy offering up costumes based on the Dark Knight's various time - and story - lines.

We've never seen Batman dressed as a giant fish though, have we?

I don't recall ever seeing Alucard ever chucking on some gold bodypaint, or Nathan Drake donning a paper bag lest anyone recognise the smug git.

Luckily, there are some developers with a sense of humour out there, and we're thankful for it.

There's nothing funnier than unlocking something so downright ludicrous, so out of place in their setting or relevant character wearing it that we can't help but laugh.

From panda suits, bonnets, full suits of armour to clunky relics of the past and cheerleading outfits (sans pompoms), nothing is sacred for the sake of cracking a smile on players faces.

I guess now we finally have an answer to that age old question, "Have you ever seen a dinosaur in a frilly skirt?"

You're welcome.

The Dead Rising series is no stranger to playing dress up.

Since its first iteration, players have been able to dress protagonists Frank, Chuck, Nick and uh... Frank again in a variety of wacky outfit combinations.

Dead Rising expanded on this with its Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α DLC, offering a range of unlockable costumes for its four heroes.

Ranging from Capcom stalwarts like Ryu from Street Fighter, Haggar from Final Fight and Captain Commando, it's Frank that draws the short dress with a lesser known costume.

Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, B. B. Hood is a gun toting demon hunter from Darkstalkers, another beat 'em up franchise from Capcom. Deceptively cute, she packs an arsenal in her basket, proving she can hold her own against the creatures of the night.

We already know Frank can hold his own too, so having to don the bonnet and basket of the tiny hunter doesn't faze him. He doesn't look as cute though.

The real bonus is the villain, General Hemlock, dressed as a zombified M. Bison though.
