admittedly for this one it's more the staff roll than the actual end cutscene, but that counts.

op/rolling thunder 3 actually does this, though with a bit more respect. You get a message telling you to try hard mode after the ending. Though you don't get cucked for beating normal, you do get this cute final screen for hard.

>>12353326
This is gonna sound weird but stuff like this is why I feel like I have so much of a connection with older games versus new ones. You beat the game and it graciously thanks you for your time and hopes to see you again. A simple "Thank you for playing!" message feels deeply personal coming from such a simple game.

>>12353940
FF credits sequences always get me. Everyone always talks about the Kefka's Tower escape character highlights but I really loved the credits with shots of the airship flying over the world. Especially the final part which has Terra standing at the front of the ship letting her hair blow in the wind, then the ship rockets off into the new and restored world. It never fails to make me feel optimistic. We're all gonna make it.

This is wonderful. And what's worse, despite loving cybernator i had never bothered to listen to it. Thank you anon, the song just kept getting better.

Here is a personal favorite: Metal Black.

Kill the final boss normally, and you get...
>the earth is destroyed? am i alive? am I asleep? did i save the world? dude, this nemesian weed is next level

BUT WAIT, die to the final boss instead, and you get...
>Your death caused a military coup. Humans rebel despite surrendering to the aliens. There is now an army of your ship (in itself a superweapon), en route to finish your job.

Keep in mind, your pilot himself was just a rebel who couldn't accept the ayy occupation. Badass.

Yep. The arcade ending is much more of a downer. The Dragons got their revenge and overcame the darkness within them, but Marian is still dead (pic related).

>>12356770
Yes. Although, in the arcade version she can spawn up to two clones, depending on how many players there are. The story is also expanded a bit to make her more sympathetic.

>>12356868

Thankfully she's alive in the river city girls.

I finally got a 1CC on Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin (SEGA Mega Drive) with the most difficult settings... I love this ending, Spider-Man being exhausted from it all, hugging his wife (Marvel sucks for taking this away from us) Mary Jane after watching her almost die in front of his very eyes, while the Kingpin was just arrested, cleaning Spider-Man's name.

It's peak Spider-Man for me.

This one also has a metal black situation. the bad ending if you die to the final boss makes the eaters perish while fighting each other iirc.

(in chimera beast, YOU are the eater, for those unaware)

I don't understand anything about KoF lore... but then again, I was first to that series through a Japanese artist better suited for red boards.

the lore's not terribly important to like 80% of the cast at any given moment, just find a team or characters you enjoy and have fun

I'm going to be fair and admit this is comic book accurate... but man, I still find it so appropriate. I mean, say what you will about TASM1 and TASM2, the 1st is a decent sidescroller, even if barebones, and the 2nd's an ambitious MetroidVania, struggling to do its concepts too well, but not too bad either... TASM3? It just sucks, everything about it blows.

Now excuse me while I play some TASM2.
