Sprites are, essentially, any 2D element that moves in a video game — this includes most characters and objects. When a sprite needs to turn around and show a new angle, this can provide challenges for the sprite artists. Unlike a 3D model, you can't simply rotate a sprite to get a new view of it. Creating a new angle for a sprite requires completely redrawing it. For this reason, artists will usually make sprites perfectly bilaterally symmetrical, so that any poses or actions made while facing left can simply be flipped to make the same poses and actions facing right. On earlier platforms, there were also memory size concerns, so it was often more efficient to mirror the sprite than to store the opposite poses, especially with graphics hardware that made horizontal flipping as simple as changing one bit of sprite data.
However, sometimes characters or objects don't lend themselves well to symmetry. A character might have an object in one hand, an eye patch or scar on one side, or some other form of Fashionable Asymmetry. An object might have asymmetrical pieces, such as a steering wheel on a car. Whatever it is, simply flipping the sprite causes the feature to "change sides". In the most blatant examples, the sprite will have letters or numbers on it which flip with the sprite.
Sometimes, developers will take the time to make a separate sprite for both the left and right facings. Usually, though, they won't bother. Some particularly clever examples will still mirror the sprites, but include extra animations for when the character or object turns around, explaining why the two sides are identical (for example, switching a weapon from one hand to the other).
This isn't limited to 2D games, although it is most common there. Older "pseudo-3D" games, such as Doom, usually had eight directions for their character sprites, but only stored five unique sprites and mirrored the remaining three, creating this effect. In addition, many modern 3D fighting games mirror the character animations intentionally to resemble their 2D precursors and additionally to maintain the visual clarity of each move. Since they are 3D models, however, they can avoid errors such as asymmetrical clothing or text being flipped.
With the advent of Flash as an animation platform, this started to leak from video games into animation as well; compare Cheated Angle. See also Right-Handed Left-Handed Guns, an example of this trope specific to the player's weapons in a First-Person Shooter.
Since this is a ubiquitous trope, please only note examples where it is either glaringly obvious or averted.

The Lost Vikings:
The first game has a curiosity: Baleog's character portrait (which faces right) shows his sword in the opposite arm from his right-facing sprites.
The most egregious example in would be Baleog's bionic arm in the second game, which switches arms depending on which way he's facing. A bit more obvious when climbing ladders.

In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kaito Momota always wears his left jacket sleeve and leaves the right side over his shoulder, but his Debate Scrum sprites when opposing the player are flipped so he wears his right sleeve. This is odd considering other characters' sprites are customized so details such as Kirumi's bangs and Gonta's bug box are always on the correct side.

Genjuro from Samurai Shodown has a diagonal scar on his back and Yagyu Jubei has an eyepatch that flip when the characters turn around, and that's not even the worst of it. Haohmaru doesn't look as bad as some others (two-handed grip can just shift). One-handed weapon wielders (Charlotte, Cham Cham, Ukyo) can be handwaved by saying that they're holding it in their other hand. Some two-handed wielders can get away with this too (Wan-Fu and Caffeine Nicotine especially—Nicotine's an old man with a staff, and Wan Fu's huge stone pillar probably gets heavy). Then there's Gen-An and Neinhalt Sieger, with their huge glove weapons. Those... don't switch that easily.

Even though Hawkeye will change with which arm he holds his bow depending on which side he's facing, his Heroic Age suit will always have the chain mail on his left arm and a sleeveless arm on his right hand, even if that means when he's facing left he's using the chain mail in the arm he doesn't need to, and he's leaving his holding arm totally exposed to be bowstring recoil.

The GBA Crash Bandicoot titles do this. The final boss of the first game has a metal helmet over half his face, which switches if you somehow get past him. The second-to-last boss of the second has a whacking great projectile claw on one arm and is designed to face both ways in his battle routine, but does this anyway.

The avatar sprites on Gaia Online do this often. It's very noticeable if your avatar is holding an object in one hand, or is wearing something asymmetrical. The most blatant is when this happens to items which feature text, such as a word balloon or Fun T-Shirt — some items with text specifically avert this, but many don't.

Kagirinaki Tatakai, a Japanese computer game brought out of obscurity by Hardcore Gaming 101, features multiple technical innovations for the time it was made. Among others, it averts this by featuring separate sprites for facing left or right, in a game stored on cassette tape (meaning there wasn't much memory to work with) and written for the Sharp X1 computer in 1983.

Marvel vs. Capcom:
In Marvel vs. Capcom 2:
Cable's bionic arm will switch sides depending on which way he's facing.
Characters that wield weapons will swap hands when they turn around.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does this despite the game featuring 3D models:
The biggest example is Spencer's bionic arm, which changes sides depending on whether he is facing left or right.
Amaterasu, when using her Rosary Weapon (that's the whip weapon for non-Okami-ites), will, for one button, slam them from above her, to in front of her, then to behind her. This switches sides depending on which way she's facing, always facing away from the camera on the second attack.
Dante's one-sleeved longcoat changes the ripped sleeve if you jump to your opponent's other side.
Characters that use guns, like Wesker, will change which hand they hold the gun in depending on which direction they're facing.

The Uncharted saga, from the second game onwards, averts it by having a main character able to switch hands, regarding of the side of the cover he's hiding behind. You can see him dropping the gun with one hand to catch it with the other. On the other hand, his animations for reloading the gun are mirrored, but the guns themselves aren't.

Although regular gameplay in Bloody Roar averts this due to being a 3D fighter, character-select portraits flip depending on which player selected the character, leading to text that's backwards and asymmetrical scars swapping to the other side. This is particularly notable with the large scar over Gado's left eye, which leads him to leave that eye closed most/all of the time depending on the game. Interestingly, Bloody Roar 4 averts that part as well, at least for Gado, by giving him two character-select portraits for both the left and right sides, so his scar is always properly shown over his left eye.

Counter-Strike is one of the more famous examples; the original designer of the gun models was left-handed, and as such modeled the weapons being used left-handed. To save the mostly right-handed playerbase from being disoriented by this, the devs added an option for right-handed guns, which — to save a lot of mostly-superfluous work on the modeler — simply mirrored the existing left-hand models. This results in a number of anomalies in the models, such as ejection ports on the left side of multiple guns throwing spent brass into the player's face. However, Global Offensive modeled the weapons properly for right-hand use, and some weapons in earlier versions, like the MP5 in Source, were explicitly modeled to be used right-handed.

In Baldur's Gate, the characters always hold their off hand closer to their screen than their main hand, leading to characters changing from right to left handed depending on your direction. This applies only to the sprites that debuted in Baldur's Gate II, which includes the protagonist sprites used in that game and both Icewind Dale games; sprites from the first Baldur's Gate or the Icewind Dale games can rotate a full 360 degrees without flipping.

In Wreck-It Ralph, classic video game hero Fix-It Felix, Jr. is a straight example in that his hammer switches hands whenever he turns around, but Ralph averts this to keep the single suspender strap of his overalls on his right shoulder at all times. However, official Defictionalizations of their game leave out many frames of animation and substitute mirrorings of other frames, which shifts the strap onto Ralph's left shoulder in some poses. Stock 3D renders of the characters are also reversed sometimes, though in Felix's case, his name badge is flipped back into its correct place.

Victims of this in Yes, Your Grace include:
The decoration on Eryk's tunic (a very low-res sideways-facing stork).
Audry's shoulder pad and the stork on his clothes.
Cedani's hair ribbon and the slanted flounces on her dress. After her possible makeover, her skirt slit falls victim to this as well. She's particularly noticeable due to facing different ways while in line with petitioners and when found playing.
Maya's skirt slit, which is supposed to be on only one side according to the more detailed portrait that was made of her.

My Little Pony is an odd case. Any artwork on the ponies' bodies (such as cutie marks) was originally on both sides. After the original '80s line ended and the second generation began, any and all symbols wound up typically being featured only on whichever side of the toy was visible in the packaging. The side shown in the packaging is usually the left side, but can vary, resulting in multiple variants of the same pony with imagery on different sides (G3 Minty, for instance, has had her cutie mark swap sides several times). Later-era ponies which have imagery on the other side normally only have minor details there, such as the hoof hearts of G3 ponies (which typically denote that the hoof in question has a magnet in it, and as such are not restricted to the "display side").

The animated film Astro Boy is an interesting case. In the manga, Astro Boy's asymmetrical hair spikes face the same way no matter which way he faces. The film is CGI, meaning that Astro Boy needed a 3-dimensional model. This left the animators with the problem of his hair looking awkward or even backwards when viewed from the wrong side. They solved this by giving Astro Boy multiple models with his hair on either sides, and switching them between cuts if necessary.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, (at least) when running or riding your bike, the part of your scarf that hangs off your neck switches sides depending on whether you're going east or west. And yes, it is supposed to be on only one side, as you can see by going north or south.

The Rave Master game for the GameCube uses 3D characters, but the scenes between fights use 2D images, which the game flips, of course. For some characters, this is just fine, and even on Musica one might not notice that his piercings moved to the other side of his face, but the tattoo that takes up half of Sieg Hart's face or, worse, the tattoo that covers half of Go's body are impossible to miss.

While Cammy for the most part is symmetrically designed, she had a few issues with mirroring. In Super Street Fighter II, the red triangle on her chest and the pattern of her leg camouflage swap sides. She wears a different costume for X-Men vs. Street Fighter, where she now wears asymmetrical gauntlets. Her jumping heavy punch has the elbow guard on the opposite arm.

Happens occasionally on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. As most of the characters have fairly symmetrical appearances, this isn't too much of a problem. However, it still occurs, since whenever a character is holding a certain object or wearing a different outfit, they swap sides depending on which way the characters are facing.

Mortal Kombat 11:
This game does it again, with held weapons. Scorpion, Skarlet, Rain, and Noob Saibot, who all hold weapons in a single hand, will always hold it in the hand facing the camera. This extends to elements of the costumes; Scorpion's katana will always be on the player-facing side of his belt. However, certain bits of costume do not mirror; Johnny's chest tattoo for example (so it remains legible), and Kano's eye.
An odd example of a Zigzagged Trope: The game features a button dedicated to switching your character's stance, which makes your character switch their feet so that their back is turned towards the camera. It functionally changes nothing in gameplay. In this instance, characters who who would normally hold their weapon in the hand closest to the camera will switch it to their other hand.
The Terminator's bike also suffers from this. When he starts as Player 1, the bike's kickstand is on the left side. But when he starts as Player 2, it's on the right. The same rule applies when he wins a match.

In the Hokuto no Ken 2 game for the Mega Drive, Kenshiro wears bandages around his left arm and an armband on his right. The bandages and armband are drawn accordingly based on the direction Kenshiro is facing.

The King of Fighters has plenty of these:
Rugal's bionic eye is one example. Next, Brian Battler's shoulder pauldron. But well, those are early examples, thanks to the fact they both are in '94... but then they were harmlessly re-implanted in '98. And 2002. And SNK vs. Capcom, except Battler is nowhere to be seen in the last two.
K' may not carry this illness at first, but you may notice that he wears a red glove on one of his hands. Look closer and you'll never figure out on which one exactly.
Bonne Jenet, who was carried into the series in both XI and XV from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Even if this game has really smooth animation, it couldn't fix the problem with mirroring for some reason, so now her dress with the Jolly Roger drawn on it is either on the left side, or the right, depending on which side she's facing.
This persisted with the series's move to 3D, as Nelson's mechanical arm in XIV swaps when he turns around. Krohnen in XV behaves similarly (his blue glove is always his front hand and the scarf always covers that shoulder) but the patches on his jacket are not bound by this (they stay the same regardless of which way he is facing).

In Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2, during the Super Move Portrait Attack, the portrait is slightly different depending on what side you're facing. This is done because the Leaf headbands would look odd when mirrored, and some characters have accessories (like bandages) that are on one of their arms but not the other. The other games just show the characters flashing straight-forward in the middle of the screen.

In Wolfenstein 3-D, all the regular enemies have all eight views stored and used for all movement poses. Some later ports of the game also avert this in the laziest sense by storing just one view, making enemies always face the player and removing what little stealth potential the game had. The Jaguar port, which is based on the SNES adaptation, reduces the many walking sprites to just two and they get mirrored to simulate the effect. Thankfully, with the Macintosh release this was averted.

Same problem in Harvest Moon: A New Beginning. Especially noticeable with Allen and his diagonally aligned bangs that are either on his left or right side and Tina with her tiny ponytail, depending on which side of the box their sprites appears on.

The Order of the Stick: Naturally, it's been lampshaded a couple of times.
In one case, it isn't so much that Roy's supposed to be wearing two different-sized boots (and the gag is they swap feet), as that the boot nearest the reader looks bigger because it's closer (and the gag is that it actually is bigger. And they swap feet).
Haley is described as having "[o]ne strand of red hair out of her ponytail no matter which direction she's facing".

Dragon Ball Fighter Z uses 3D models, but every character facing to the right has their model flipped. Given that a lot of characters have asymmetrical designs, it's very obvious. The models are even flipped during intro and battle animations, and you see that their poses and facial expressions are also mirrored as well.

Metal Gear:
In the MSX2 games (Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), Big Boss's eyepatch is always drawn on the right side of his face, regardless of which direction he is facing. Oddly enough, the character illustrations in the Japanese manual of the first game depicts Big Boss wearing an eyepatch on his left eye, which is inconsistent with his in-game sprite.
Solid Snake himself and some of the enemy soldiers also have separate sprites when they're facing east or west. However, the original game plays this straight when Snake is unarmed (this was corrected in Metal Gear 2).

Averted during one part of Tales of the Drunken Paladin. The trope is mainly played straight when the main character Anebriate faces left or right because he has no asymmetrical features showing. One area of the game changes his sprite because he dons a winter parka to deal with the harsh cold weather. During this part, he carries his spear with him, and it stays in his right hand regardless of facing up, down, left, or right.

Undertale subverts this. Undyne's left and right overworld sprites are mirrored, showing her left eye even though she wears an eyepatch on that eye. However, it turns out that this "oversight" was actually intentional. Subtle hints in the lore reveal that she didn't actually lose her eye and she just wears the eyepatch to look cool, meaning that the overworld sprites are completely accurate.

Alien vs. Predator (Capcom): All the player characters have asymmetrical designs (as shown on the game's brochure) that differ in-game depending on whether the player is facing left or right:
Linn Kurosawa has a large studded shoulder guard on her left shoulder, as well as a knife holster on her right leg. Strangely, they're switched by default on her in-game sprite, since all the player characters start the game facing right. The hilt of the katana she carries on the back of her waist also switches sides to the opposite of her current direction.
Dutch Schaeffer has a cybernetic right arm that switches to his left arm (the arm closest to the foreground) when facing left.
Both of the Predators wield weapons that they hold on their right arms by default (a spear for Predator Warrior and a halberd for Predator Hunter). Hunter also wears a claw on the same hand that he uses to wield his weapon.

In Fire Emblem Fates, Kagero and Camilla's bangs, Saizo's scarred eye, and Niles's eyepatch are very guilty of this trope. Certain hairstyles and facial details for Corrin will also fall into this, including the beauty marks, some of the scars, and one of female Corrin's ponytails.

BlazBlue:
Ragna the Bloodedge canonically carries his sword in his left hand, and the Azure Grimoire on his artificial right hand. In-game, the Azure is always on the hand closest to the "camera" and the sword always in opposite hand. One of his Too Many Belts changes sides as well. Interestingly enough, the color of his heterochromia will always remain the correct position, regardless on which side he is currently facing.
Carl's hat and Nirvana's ring also dance from left to right.
Nu's Eyepatch of Power is completely covered by her Murakumo unit visor, possibly to avoid such issues. However, it still happens in some of her pre-battle intros.
Litchi's hair ponytail location also switch between left to right at times. However, in story modes, each of her poses are never flipped, thus averting the trope.
Other characters with asymmetrical designs (Jubei with his eyepatch, Tager with his white hair streak, characters wielding weapons and sheathes, Nine's bangs, Valkenhayn's hair bang, etc.) have either flipped models and/or flipped story sprites.

The main concept of Silhouette Mirage is an aversion of this trope, as main character Shyna is one of few beings in the game who is half Silhouette and half Mirage — literally, being split down the middle with one attribute on each side. Since she generally faces left or right during the game, only one half is seen at a time, and the visible half determines the affinity of her attacks. Sprite mirroring is still used, since she has the ability to swap her Mirage and Silhouette sides in order to use their attacks in opposite directions.

Mortal Kombat:
Kano's bionic eye in always faced the camera until the series went into 3D.
Jax in Mortal Kombat 3 has two bionic arms instead of the one his designers wanted, for the reason that it would have taken more work to stop his bionic arm changing sides when he turned around. The same trick is used to solve a similar problem in Mortal Kombat 9 and Mortal Kombat X. The characters in that game are 3D models, solving the ambidextrous sprite problem. In fact, these games go one step further by making the stances for the characters irrelevant and having the characters be internally ambidextrous: the buttons are mapped to the characters' limbs and labeled "Front" and "Back". The characters are able to fight the same regardless of which hand is out in front and the player can switch their stances manually by pressing both kicks together. Due to this design, 9's Guest Fighter Freddy Krueger is given two bladed gloves to make his fighting style symmetrical.
Mortal Kombat 4 (despite using 3D models instead of digitized sprites) still employs mirroring if the characters reverse sides. It's especially noticeable with weapon-wielding characters, and also with Sub-Zero's scar switching from his right eye to his left. Word of God confirms that this required a special routine to be implemented and was absolutely intentional, since normal 3D models don't do that.
Mortal Kombat 11:
This game does it again, with held weapons. Scorpion, Skarlet, Rain, and Noob Saibot, who all hold weapons in a single hand, will always hold it in the hand facing the camera. This extends to elements of the costumes; Scorpion's katana will always be on the player-facing side of his belt. However, certain bits of costume do not mirror; Johnny's chest tattoo for example (so it remains legible), and Kano's eye.
An odd example of a Zigzagged Trope: The game features a button dedicated to switching your character's stance, which makes your character switch their feet so that their back is turned towards the camera. It functionally changes nothing in gameplay. In this instance, characters who who would normally hold their weapon in the hand closest to the camera will switch it to their other hand.
The Terminator's bike also suffers from this. When he starts as Player 1, the bike's kickstand is on the left side. But when he starts as Player 2, it's on the right. The same rule applies when he wins a match.

This persisted with the series's move to 3D, as Nelson's mechanical arm in XIV swaps when he turns around. Krohnen in XV behaves similarly (his blue glove is always his front hand and the scarf always covers that shoulder) but the patches on his jacket are not bound by this (they stay the same regardless of which way he is facing).

Fudêncio e Seus Amigos is Flash-animated and has Limited Animation, with each episode having been produced in only two weeks. This happens with most characters, such as Juca Esfirra Aberta's scar, Zé Maria's bangs, Safeno's big eye and small eye, Delcídio's bangs, and Vingativa's single horn. However, it's averted with the title character Fudêncio himself; his eye tattoo is always on his left eye, no matter which position, and he has sprites for both positions.

The Legend of Zelda:
While the 2D games usually include this trope, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons/Ages have Link carry his shield in the correct hand (his right, since he's left-handed) when he has it equipped but not active, regardless of direction faced. When blocking with it, he falls under this when facing left or right, but up or down has the shield closer to his right side.
In The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games, Rosa the Subrosian always carries her key on her left side, regardless of which direction she's facing.

Averted in Marvel: Avengers Alliance with every character sprite that doesn't have a symmetrical costume. Some examples include:
The Fantastic Four's costumes will always have the "4" properly displayed.
The Hulk's World War Hulk armor, where the metal guard is correctly on his left arm even when the sprite is facing right.
Even though Hawkeye will change with which arm he holds his bow depending on which side he's facing, his Heroic Age suit will always have the chain mail on his left arm and a sleeveless arm on his right hand, even if that means when he's facing left he's using the chain mail in the arm he doesn't need to, and he's leaving his holding arm totally exposed to be bowstring recoil.
War Machine has several instances of this:
In his default costume, his shoulder cannon (or machine gun) will always be in his left shoulder, and his missile launcher in his right shoulder.
While his Iron Patriot costume has the shoulder cannon in a different shoulder depending on which direction he's facing (justified because the position of the cannon in said armor is not fixed and can be moved left or right), his nametag in unreadably small letters, the "FF 445" on his shoulder, and the "002" on his arm will always be on the left side of the armor.
Cable's Techno-Organic infected arm will always be his left arm.
While he only appears in dialogue, Nick Fury's eyepatch will always be on his left eye, and his S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the left side of his chest.
Phil Coulson's card key will always be on the left side of his chest, regardless of where his dialogue image is facing.

Persona 4: Arena has this, and given that most characters are armed, it's quite clear:
Even Akihiko, the boxer, is subject to this due to his asymmetric design.
Due to the necessity of making characters face the camera, this trope makes left-handed Akihiko and Royal Rapier-using Mitsuru use their non-dominant hands when they're player one.

Batman: Child of Dreams, a manga by Kia Asamiya, was released in English as a book reading from left to right, with the art simply mirrored. This means that Two-Face is scarred on his right side and no one comments on it, even though it should be an obvious clue that he's an impostor.

Super Robot Wars: Original Generation:
In a scripted event midway through the first game, you see Kyosuke say that the left arm is unusable before proceeding to use an attack which uses a weapon usually on the right arm, but as he's an enemy for that mission, it appears on the left.
Really obvious with the Alt Eisen. In the Rampage Ghost attacks in the second game, the autocannon and revolver stake will magically switch places halfway through the attack, and you actually get to see the change as it happens onscreen.

While the 2D games usually include this trope, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons/Ages have Link carry his shield in the correct hand (his right, since he's left-handed) when he has it equipped but not active, regardless of direction faced. When blocking with it, he falls under this when facing left or right, but up or down has the shield closer to his right side.

In Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, every character in the game has two sprite sets that mirror their current animations. However, one-sided objects and accessories (such as the kanji on Goku/Krillin/Yamcha's gi, the Saiyans' scouters, the sash on Gotenks/Gogeta's belt, etc.) will always remain on their proper side. Additionally, some characters will have a slightly altered animation, such as the Laser Blade on Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black's hand always being on his right hand.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls movies: Like in the parent show, since the characters are made of Flash objects, they (or parts of them) often appear mirrored. It's more complicated than a simple flip, though; they have a "good side" that, in nearly every shot, starts out facing the camera. When a character turns around while visible in a shot, all of her features remain left-right consistent, and the other side shows. It's more notable with the girls wearing hair decorations (Rarity, Fluttershy, or Trixie), which flip from one side to the other between shots, or with Twilight's pink hair stripe. This became less common as of Legend of Everfree, happening very little or never at all.

Killer Instinct (2013) generally averts this, being 3D, but intentionally invokes it for characters who rely on their asymmetric elements by flipping their entire model when they turn around. Aganos' bashing arm is always the one closest to the camera, as is Eyedol's mage-side that's holding his club. It's especially noticeable with a few of Eyedol's alternate costumes, which have a lot of Fashionable Asymmetry going on.

Donkey Kong:
Interesting case of aversion in DK: King of Swing: Towards the end of the tutorial segment, Cranky Kong turns to the opposite direction and walks away. His sprites are mirrored, of course, but in his turn-around animation, he actually switches his cane to the other hand, making the sprite-flipping seamless.
Donkey Kong also does this in Donkey Kong Country Returns. He holds barrels one-handed and switches hands when he turns around.
The Bouncylisks in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze do this as well. They hold berries in their tail. When they turn around, they swing their tail around to the other side of the berries.

In Among Us, when a Crewmate/Impostor is equipped with a "DUM" sticky note on their head (referred to as "Note 2 Self" in-game), the note will read out "MUá—¡" when they are facing left.

Gill from Street Fighter III was designed specifically to show that the CP System III (the arcade board the game ran on) could be used to avert this problem. The red half of his body always faces to the left of the screen, and the blue half always faces to the right, no matter which direction he turns. His special attacks even change depending on which way he's facing. His secretary, who shows up in his win poses, has an asymmetrical haircut for this reason as well.

Drawn to Life has an interesting case of this. It's played straight in the Rapo of Heather, who has a face that's half yellow and half black (think like Two-Face), yet inexplicably, when she turns to either side, you always see the yellow side. However, since the player makes the player sprite himself, whether it uses this trope or not is up to him or her.

Radiant Historia has a partial exception. One of the party members, Rosch, has a mechanical prosthetic in place of his left arm, and it stays on his left whichever way his sprite is facing. However, it will magically migrate over to his right arm whenever his portrait is facing the other way, as well as when you have to fight him, causing his battle sprite to be mirrored as well. Otherwise, done completely straight; in particular, the main character's shield has a nasty habit of switching arms whenever he turns around.

Xenogears has ordinarily left/right-swapping 2-D character portraits for all the bilaterally symmetric characters, but both Bart and Sigurd have patches over their eyes. Each character has two different portraits depending on whether they are being viewed from the left or from the right, which is slightly plot important, as their eyepatches are on different eyes from each other, and this enables them to both simultaneously use the Fatima Jasper retinal scanner during a Cut Scene. This asymmetry is even lampshaded in one scene, where Bart and Sigurd are noticed to both be wearing their eyepatches on the wrong eye—this is a practical joke on their part.

Them's Fightin' Herds:
Characters with asymmetrical hairstyles, such as Oleander and Arizona, change depending on where the camera is viewing them. This trope is necessary for the former as you wouldn't be able to see her face.
Shanty is supposed to have a lighter patch of fur around her right eye and a notch in her left ear (she has two character portraits at different angles to prove this), but this changes in-game depending on which way she's facing.

Paper Mario: Some characters have ambidextrous designs. Quite possibly done intentionally, seeing how the fact that all the characters literally are 2D is a selling point.
Some examples from Super Paper Mario are Count Bleck (watch his monocle) and Dimentio (his mask's colors switch when he faces different directions).
Luigi and Mr. L are noticeable aversions: Luigi's insignia always faces the correct way, and Mr. L's is always backward.
Paper Mario: The Origami King averts this. Characters with asymmetrical design elements, such as the robes on the Shogun Studios staff Toads, have sprites facing for both directions so that they remain consistent. This also applies to characters who hold items, such as the Sombrero Guy's guitar and Professor Toad's shovel.

His appearance in Street Fighter V properly averts this trope and extends it by having his back to the camera if he's facing right. This means his red side is always towards his opponent and his attacks no longer change their respective element based on where he's looking like they did in III.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius averts this for all of the storyline characters. The most obvious case is with The Hero Rain, who is also the lead character in exploration dungeons in the first season. He has a cloak and sash that's tied off on his right, and it's consistently depicted that way regardless of which direction he faces. It even applies to characters like Luka, who are only briefly active in the story. The game's second season amplifies this — while only Rain and Fina obviously had Fashionable Asymmetry in the first season, the entire main party has degrees of it in the second.

Most character images in Aviary Attorney are mirrored regardless of the fact that many characters aren't symmetrical, but there's one exception: Juste Volerti. His body remains facing front while his head turns right and left regularly, showing that he has one eye and one eyepatch. His body probably isn't mirrored because he only has one arm. His lack of a left hand is essential in one of the endings.

Thanos from Marvel Super Heroes (and, by extension, his appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 2) has his Infinity Gauntlet switch hands depending on which side he is facing, and sometimes within the same side; when Thanos is the right-side character, the Gauntlet is on his left arm (just as it is in the comics), but will switch to his right arm during his right-side win pose — and vice versa when he's the left-side character.

Bug Fables, being an homage to the Paper Mario games mentioned below, does this with its "paper cutout" characters. Most characters are designed in such a way that this wouldn't necessarily be noticeable, but there are a handful of characters with prosthetics that switch sides...

In Pokkén Tournament, the non-symmetrical characters have two artworks depending on if they are player one or two (Shadow◊ Mewtwo◊ with the Power Crystal in his left shoulder and Pikachu◊ Libre◊ with the symbol on her mask). Darkrai's hair falls on opposite sides so that their eye is always visible to the camera in duel mode.

Pokémon:
When viewing the status of the Pokémon in your party or your PC, or looking at them in the Pokedex, most asymmetrical Pokémon like Absol or Roselia aren't flipped like symmetrical ones are. However, even though the bubble pattern on Azumarill's stomach isn't symmetrical, it still gets flipped.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon:
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team, the Absol that joins you is the only one to have two different portraits.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, Darkrai also has two different portraits.
HeartGold and SoulSilver have a mechanic where your lead Pokémon follows you around throughout the game. Asymmetrical Pokémon get different "walking west" and "walking east" sprites. Bizarrely, they did that for the Pokémon but still not for the human characters.
Pokémon Black and White averts this with the PC sprites (scarves and such), as well as Ghetsis's (because of his weird...monocle thing).

Mother 3 has many enemies who have been cybernetically enhanced, so parts of their faces and bodies are metal. When they switch directions, their sprite shows either a metal side to them, or a biological side. This is the most obvious with the Return of Octobot enemies based on Octobots of EarthBound (1994), since they're almost all shiny metal on one side and almost all dingy metal on the other.

Iji averts this wholly and completely. The developer actually used 3D model animation renders to get all of the character graphics (except the giant mecha final boss), both right and left versions, so averting this was geometrically guaranteed.

Interesting case of aversion in DK: King of Swing: Towards the end of the tutorial segment, Cranky Kong turns to the opposite direction and walks away. His sprites are mirrored, of course, but in his turn-around animation, he actually switches his cane to the other hand, making the sprite-flipping seamless.

Averted in La-Mulana by a single whip frame, and also when he's coming down from a jump (he holds his hat in place with his left hand regardless of which direction he's facing). Other than that, his sprite is quite ambidextrous. The remake, for the most part, fixes this by apparently making him actually ambidextrous: he uses main weapons left-handed and subweapons right-handed. The sprite where he faces the screen to hold something aloft always has him holding the item in his right hand, which can look a little awkward in the transition from facing sideways.

In Mega Man X, Sting Chameleon has a normal eye on his right side and a cybernetic one on his left... allegedly. In-game, except for his introduction animation where he turns his head to look behind himself, the cybernetic eye is always the one closer to the camera, which unfortunately makes it hard to tell he has a normal eye at all.

Darkest Dungeon makes some effort to avert this, by only showing the characters from their right sides. However, in the battle with one of the bosses who uses Charm Person, the mind-controlled characters go over to the enemy's side of the battle — and their sprites become simply flipped. Also, there is only one sprite showing a character sitting by a campfire. To create an illusion that the party is sitting in half-circle, the sprite is flipped for half of the party. This becomes noticeable if you have more than one member of the same character class in the party, and they're sitting at the opposite sides of the campfire. Especially the ones with eyepatches.

The Double Dragon series:
Double Dragon I:
Machine Gun Willy, the final boss, wears a single spiked shoulder pad which switches from his left shoulder when facing left and to his right when facing right. The promotional illustrations for the arcade and Famicom versions clearly show Willy wearing his shoulder pad on his right shoulder.
The cardboard box that appears in the beginning of Mission 2 in the NES version has "TJC" (the initials for Technos Japan Corp.) written on it. The letters are flipped whenever the cardboard is "facing" to the left.
In the arcade version of Double Dragon II, the enemy character Rowper wears an eyepatch which switches to his left eye when he's facing right and vice-versa. He doesn't wear it in any other installment in the series.
Despite featuring polygon models instead of bitmapped sprites, Double Dragon Neon also utilizes sprite mirroring. The Lindas in particular have a tattoo above one of their breasts that changes from her right breast when she's facing right to her left breast when facing left.

Skullgirls has a few cases of this:
Parasoul has her weapon always in the hand closest to the opponent while she's facing the screen, as well as her bangs changing which eye it covers. This one isn't as bad as the other examples, as she has specific animations of her changing hands and hair whenever the opponent crosses over her.
Valentine is a little more on the weird side in comparison, as she has an eyepatch. In addition, the handle of her saw somehow magically flips sides while still stored inside her fanny pack.
Squigly is the most absurd example in the game. Not only is she also missing an eye that she covers with bangs, she also has an arm that's completely decayed to the bone, and has her parasite Leviathan come out of one of her two Girlish Pigtails, and all of the above flips sides sides depending on where she's facing. Ironically, some concept art had her averting this trope, with everything on one side, hinting that she might have been created for the sole reason of averting this trope... and yet it's played straight anyway. This example is partially explained though — during Squigly's "turning around" animation, Leviathan withdraws into her head and pops out on the opposite side. There's no such justification for her skeleton arm and the remaining pigtail (the one that didn't fall off), though.
As well as the above, Peacock and Beowulf swap the hands they wield their various weaponry with when they turn around as well (given that a lot of these are one-handed).

In The Amazing World of Gumball, this happens to Gumball's whiskers (he always has three on one side and two on the other, but they often flip sides) and Carrie's asymmetrical bangs. Gumball's case crosses over with Cheated Angle, as it seems his face actually is symmetrical, just with one whisker always out of view because we never see his face from the front.

Courage the Cowardly Dog:
Eustace's witch doctor mask is an example, 95% of the time, he's on the right side of the screen whenever he puts it on and the orange swirlie eye is facing the camera. As for the other five percent of the time, the swirlie eye sometimes still faces the camera when he's on the left side of the screen, but there are times when it doesn't. Interestingly, one of those instances when it did face the screen on the left was when Eustace's mother used the mask to scare her son, leading some to believe that it's a different mask, which makes sense since it's implied that Eustace's mom scared him with the mask the same way he does to Courage.
One of Courage's teeth has a hole in it. Which tooth it is varies, and it's always facing the camera regardless of which side of the screen he stands on.

In Stardust Crusaders, Noriaki Kakyoin's "hair noodle" is located on the right side of his head, but there are many occasions where it will flip to the left side. This is averted in All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, since they're 3D games.

The Legend of Dark Witch series uses this. It sticks out as heroine Zizou Olympia has asymmetrical multi-colored hair; her hair colors swap so that the black half almost always faces the camera. Simeone from The Legend of Dark Witch 3 is another notable case: one arm and leg is humanoid while the other set is demonic, and the demonic limbs swap places depending on where Simeone is facing.

Team Fortress 2:
The game is guilty of this in terms of the quality of left-handed viewmodels. Most weapons don't have text on them, but those that do are reversed, as this video of a ЯƎϤϤAϨ-OЯTϽƎ˩Ǝ illustrates.
Demoman's icon placed next to his health bar has his eyepatch over his left eye, when it's supposed to be his right eye.

In the Master System game Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (and its TurboGrafx 16 remake, Dragon's Curse), Bocke Lee Temjin goes through a series of transformations and has no less than six sets of sprites. Each form has separate left- and right-facing sprites for all of Bocke's forms that depict him holding his sword in his right hand and his shield on his left. The positions of his arms are different facing left and right to keep his shield forward and reach consistent. Only one of Bocke's forms (a fire-spitting Lizardman) has his sprites mirrored.

Inazuma Eleven has this hold true in the overworld sprites of their DS games, which is jarring when hand-in-hand with characters that have bangs such as Kazemaru and Edgar, or those with eyepatches like Sakuma.

In Stardust Crusaders, Noriaki Kakyoin's "hair noodle" is located on the right side of his head, but there are many occasions where it will flip to the left side. This is averted in All-Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, since they're 3D games.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Since the ponies are made of Flash objects, they — or parts of them — often appear mirrored. It's more complicated than a simple flip, though. The ponies seem to have a "good side" that, in nearly every shot, starts out facing the camera. When a pony turns around while visible in a shot, all of her features remain left-right consistent, and the other side shows — unless they turn around very quickly, in which case the Flash object gets flipped, and the "good side" stays to the fore.
This is especially prominent in the case of Fluttershy and Rarity, whose manes can obscure their faces. They always begin every shot with their bangs out of their faces, whether facing right or left, except when the shot calls for Fluttershy to look extra shy or Rarity to look worried or depressed.
Around 30% of shots with Rainbow Dash in them show her mane's colors in the wrong order. Generally speaking, the red stripe is on her right, but the mistakes have no discernible pattern.
In "It's About Time", Twilight's eyepatch frequently changes sides, though it spends the majority of time on her right eye.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does this despite the game featuring 3D models:
The biggest example is Spencer's bionic arm, which changes sides depending on whether he is facing left or right.
Amaterasu, when using her Rosary Weapon (that's the whip weapon for non-Okami-ites), will, for one button, slam them from above her, to in front of her, then to behind her. This switches sides depending on which way she's facing, always facing away from the camera on the second attack.
Dante's one-sleeved longcoat changes the ripped sleeve if you jump to your opponent's other side.
Characters that use guns, like Wesker, will change which hand they hold the gun in depending on which direction they're facing.

Wookiee aircraft from Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, for whatever reason, have engine pods hanging off one side, but not the other. Which side, ehm, depends. Every other non-infantry unit (and most of the infantry, for that matter) are symmetrical, though, so they manage to avoid this.

In the MSX2 games (Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), Big Boss's eyepatch is always drawn on the right side of his face, regardless of which direction he is facing. Oddly enough, the character illustrations in the Japanese manual of the first game depicts Big Boss wearing an eyepatch on his left eye, which is inconsistent with his in-game sprite.

MechCommander has consistent sprites for all Battlemechs. This is no small feat, because while many of their designs are symmetrical as the source material dictates, that same source material means that several of the 'Mechs are also extremely lopsided. This is most noticeable with the Hollander, which goes for broke in the Shoulder Cannon department. The cannon is consistently shown to rest in the 'Mech's right shoulder. The game is also notable for remembering which pieces of a 'Mech are destroyed; for instance, if a particular 'Mech's right arm is blown off, the game will permanently remove the right arm from all angles of display for that 'Mech (instead of accidentally removing the left arm by mirroring), including the sprites for its death animations.

The Soul Series completely averts this by having characters' backs face the screen. You will see the front or back of your character depending on what player you are. Raphael is, however, left handed solely so he can face the screen when wielding his rapier when selected by player one.

Many of the characters in Happy Tree Friends have aspects that switch from side to side due to the image being flipped.

War Machine has several instances of this:
In his default costume, his shoulder cannon (or machine gun) will always be in his left shoulder, and his missile launcher in his right shoulder.
While his Iron Patriot costume has the shoulder cannon in a different shoulder depending on which direction he's facing (justified because the position of the cannon in said armor is not fixed and can be moved left or right), his nametag in unreadably small letters, the "FF 445" on his shoulder, and the "002" on his arm will always be on the left side of the armor.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade justifies this with non-player characters by giving them turning animations, allowing them to move whatever objects they're holding around so that they look the same facing the other direction (like Torahime switching her bow from one hand to the other).

Dragon Quest:
Most of games play it straight, except Dragon Quest XI's 2D mode on the 3DS and Switch.
Averted in the Japanese version of Dragon Quest: The characters always face the screen... as in, they move around like pieces in a board game (Dragon Warrior fixed this by giving everyone separate walking sprites for each of the four cardinal directions).
This is sometimes used as an odd visual form of Nominal Importance. Important characters will have sprites that switch directions, unimportant NPCs will not.

This happens occasionally on Homestar Runner.
In "A Decemberween Pageant", Coach Z's headset flip-flops from one ear to the other whenever he turns his head around.
Senor Cardgage's comb-over changes direction every time he turns around.
In the Cheat Commandos shorts, Blue Laser Commander's eyepatch will switch sides every time he turns around, as a parody of the old G.I. Joe-style animation it's based on.

The Problem Solverz is quite obvious about this. Sometimes it isn't too noticeable, as most of the characters have symmetrical appearances, but it just looks weird when a question mark on their shirt is backwards.

Freedom Planet largely plays this straight, but has an aversion with Milla Basset; her outfit is largely symmetrical, but she wears a green bracelet and orange anklet on her right side, while wearing an orange bracelet and green anklet on her left (although given she's almost always slightly facing the camera, her right side is her sprite's left side, and vice versa). Special care was given to ensure this small case of Fashionable Asymmetry is consistent for all her sprites, regardless of which direction she's facing.

A general problem in majority of the Harvest Moon games:
Whoever designed the main characters in Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar did not think about how they would be affected by this trope. They have a feather that they wear on one side of their hat, and a small bag they carry on one side of their body, both of which constantly switch places as they change direction.
Same problem in Harvest Moon: A New Beginning. Especially noticeable with Allen and his diagonally aligned bangs that are either on his left or right side and Tina with her tiny ponytail, depending on which side of the box their sprites appears on.

Zig-zagged in Doom and Doom II. About half of the enemies, in particular ones that favor their right hand (like the Cyberdemon with its Arm Cannon, the Baron and Knight, and the Revenant for melee), store all eight views for rotation, while half of the others, including human players and regular or shotgun zombies, only store the minimal five and mirror the left-facing ones for the right side. Interestingly, the Doomguy apparently does have sprite sets for all eight directions, but the three right-facing ones went unused, presumably for performance reasons. Those can be re-added with the Minor Sprite Fixing Project mod, alongside other small fixes like proper sprite centering and filling in blank pixels.

LISA: Brad's scars will correctly shift depending on the way he faces. And if he loses an arm, his sprite will correctly shift to follow it. In The Joyful, Buddy's bandages also stay on the left side of her face no matter what. Zig-zagged with some of the more asymmetrical party members-Buffalo's eyepatch is always on the left side, but Beastborn's sprite flips his bandana around.

Ace Attorney:
In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations, Miles Edgeworth points with his left hand while posing as a defense attorney in Phoenix's stead, despite being right-handed in his usual position behind the prosecutor's bench. His sprite, however, is redrawn as if he'd turned to his other side, not simply mirrored.
In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, the front-on sprites used in the Phoenix/Apollo arcs are turned to 3/4 profile so characters can appear to be conversing with each other. This results in Franziska's beauty mark and jacket buttons changing sides, along with Gumshoe's band-aid, Kay's scarf, Calisto Yew's jacket... the list goes on. However, it is averted with Kay's overworld sprites, which keep the key in her hair consistent no matter which way she's facing.

Major/Minor is guilty as hell of this, since the game merely flips the sprite of the character if they're facing a different direction. Acheron is usually the first character people notice this on, since he has a scar that's only supposed to be on one side of his face, but it's also quite noticeable for any character with heterochromia, and there's at least two of them in the cast.

Gears of War does this a lot to accommodate the fact that you could be facing either left or right while in cover. Your usually right-handed character will flip hands when they are leaning to the left, and their weapon model is mirrored to accommodate the different animations. The Longshot is the most obvious example of this; the weapon's bolt will change sides depending on which hand you're holding it in.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall allows your character to switch between a weapon in his left hand and one in his right hand, and even switch hands while fighting completely unarmed. Despite this difference, the animation for your chosen weapon hand always appears on the right side of the screen.

Sagat has had a diagonal scar across his chest (due to Ryu defeating him with a Shoryuken) since the first Street Fighter II installment, along with an eyepatch he has worn over one of his eyes since the original game. However, the eye and direction of the scar change depending on which side of the stage he's on. While all the illustrations since Street Fighter II depict Sagat's eyepatch on his right side, some of the original art for the first Street Fighter depicts Sagat with the eyepatch on his left eye.

Interestingly, both Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter IV (the latter in 3D) actually avert this for some details — Sagat's eyepatch and scar stay correctly aligned regardless of which way he's facing, as do Vega's dragon tattoo and asymmetrical sash. These details are even kept asymmetrical on their 2D character select art in IV, with the P2 drawing being redrawn. However, characters' move sets in Street Fighter IV are still mirrored so that they never turn their backs on the camera — this also includes the talon on Vega's right hand, which will swap sides without any conscious effort on his part whenever he turns around. Old habits die hard, it seems.

Street Fighter:
Gill from Street Fighter III was designed specifically to show that the CP System III (the arcade board the game ran on) could be used to avert this problem. The red half of his body always faces to the left of the screen, and the blue half always faces to the right, no matter which direction he turns. His special attacks even change depending on which way he's facing. His secretary, who shows up in his win poses, has an asymmetrical haircut for this reason as well.

Mega Man:
Mega Man switches hands with his Arm Cannon depending on which way he faces, even while charging. An upgrade in Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 takes this to its logical conclusion and lets you charge both arms simultaneously. Note that the original Mega Man, in one cutscene, does in fact fire charged shots from both arms, with Big Bad Dr. Wily displaying a major Oh, Crap! expression at the sight. Interestingly enough, this is referenced in Super Adventure Rockman, where Rock uses the twin Mega Busters to defeat the Big Bad. It's sort of handwaved in Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Apparently Mega Man can turn both of his hands into busters. Also somewhat handwaved by Roll, who pulls out a buster and attaches it to her arm rather than turning her arm into a buster. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U gives Mega Man apparent ambidexterity and cannons on both arms, but he favors his left in his debut trailer and Final Smash cutscene. Since in the source games, he usually faces right and shoots with his farther (left) hand, this makes sense. In fact, in his Final Smash, all the Mega Men except EXE shoot left-handed, similarly reflecting how they typically appear in the games. This animation error carries over to Mega Man Zero's Pantheons. They have arm cannons or stun batons on one hand, but it always gets switched every time they change direction.
Somewhat averted with the bosses from Mega Man (Classic), as bosses with arm cannons of their own will usually have two.
In Mega Man X, Sting Chameleon has a normal eye on his right side and a cybernetic one on his left... allegedly. In-game, except for his introduction animation where he turns his head to look behind himself, the cybernetic eye is always the one closer to the camera, which unfortunately makes it hard to tell he has a normal eye at all.
Notably averted with Model FX from Mega Man ZX, which consistently uses the correct arm buster if you use the assigned button.

Hiveswap: While this applies to the whole game, it's more obvious in Act 2 as there are more characters with asymmetrical aspects in their designs, such as mismatched horns and/or eyes. It's hard to tell which direction is correct for them, because this is even shown in cutscenes (although it is easier to tell if their signs are not symmetrical). In particular, Marvus' sprites in the trial have his horns facing a different direction to those used in Friendsim. Ardata's Third Eye is also shown to be on the left side of her face, while in Friendsim it was on the right side; while this could be down to the way her sprite is facing, the extra eye is still on the left during a cutscene.

Puzzle Bobble 3 a.k.a. Bust-A-Move '99 (or 3) has Lunaluna. note since the names are not outright revealed, "that one fortune teller lady with the crystal ball and affinity for tarot cards". Her hair is made so that the left side of her head is covered with a very long bang that covers quite a bit of length of her body.The other side is barely shoulder length. All artwork depicting her throughout the game shows her with the long hair to her left, including splash screens, the ending, etc, but there's one problem. When playing her as Player 1, she is flipped so her long hair is on the wrong side and can't be fixed. It is only fixed when you face her (but you aren't the one in control) or when you play as Player 2 (in which her hair is now green).

Unreal Tournament 2004 gives the option for players to have their guns appear in the lower right (standard), center, or left of the HUD. Left-handed guns are mirror images of the standard view, which wouldn't be noticeable, except that some of the guns have serial numbers on them, which are backwards on the left-handed versions.

Luminous Arc:
The game tries very hard not to flip one character's chat portrait, since she's basically Fashionable Asymmetry embodied and ludicrously over-accessorized. Whenever she's flipped, heterochromia, star-shaped beauty mark on one breast, and so on, and so forth, are all reversed, and it's distractingly obvious. You'd think someone on the design team would keep that whole "sprite flip" thing in mind, but no.
Battle sprites face the same problem. It's evident in battle by how characters hold their weapon: Since the map uses isometric projection, characters hold their weapon with their dominant hand in two directions (presumably upper and lower left) and non-dominant hand for the other two.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: Not only are the battle sprites flipped, making characters wield their weapons on different hands depending on which way they are facing, the overworld and talking sprites are also mirrored. The latter is usually not a problem, since most of the characters are rather symmetric... except for Zexion, whose right eye is supposed to be covered by his hair. The mirroring of his sprites is thus a little bit more noticeable.

Dark Devotion has this all over the place. The most blatant example is the Executioner: He has a Blade Below the Shoulder growing out of one arm, but which arm changes depending on which direction he's currently facing. The protagonist likewise carries one-handed weapons in whichever hand is closest to the camera, as do many other enemies.

Final Fight:
The suspender on Mike Haggar's pants tends to switch sides depending on whether he's facing right or left. In most official art and on the character select portrait, it is shown going over his right shoulder. This is also consistent with Marvel vs. Capcom 3, where his suspender is always on the right shoulder.
The enemy grunts J and Two P have designs on the back of their jackets that are flipped whenever either of them change directions. It's particularly notable with J's jacket, as he wears an atomic symbol on his back that has the word "BAD" written atop of it, which is mirrored when he is facing to the right.

Super Smash Bros. averts this by virtue of using 3D models, and as a result, characters will often have their backs facing the screen in earlier installments. Starting with the fourth game, however, this is invoked with about half of the cast; their animations are mirrored to have their front side face the screen more often. The mirroring only applies to animations, so details like Luigi's "L" and Diddy Kong's "Nintendo" cap stay the same. As a rule of thumb, this mirroring doesn't apply to characters that primarily use weapons like swords or hammers, when the character in question has a defined dominant hand. The sole exception to this rule is the Ice Climbers, swapping the hand they hold their hammers in much like their original NES game. Some hand-to-hand fighters like Captain Falcon, Snake and Kazuya also don't mirror due to having specific attacks use set limbs; the Falcon Punch for example is done with the right hand, while Kazuya's moves are all done with fixed limbs to mirror their appearance in Tekken proper.

The Punisher (Capcom): The two player characters, Frank Castle and Nick Fury, both have a gun holster on one of their legs. The official brochure depicts them wearing the holsters on their respective right legs. Oddly enough, Nick Fury's eye-patch averts this by always appearing on his left eye, no matter which direction he is facing.
