7 The Good Ending - Bioshock
8 Issac Clark Learns the Truth About Nicole - Dead Space
9 Piers Nivan's Sacrifice - Resident Evil 6
10 Little Mac Retires - Punch-Out Wii

After losing the third match in Macs' Last Stand mode the game shows this scene with Doc Louis walking through Little Macs wing Highlighting all of his matches and the sad music made it really effective as it ends with Doc saying good job kid good job as we walks away.

The Contenders
11 Hinawa's Death - Mother 3
12 The Ending - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky

Should be way higher, like number one. All that crap you, your partner, and Grovyle have been through just to save the world. Three pokemon enter the hidden land together, only one makes it out.

Don't toss this away as another kids game. Just listening to the music is enough to make people cry.

13 Chao Crying - Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Chao are just the most adorable things ever, so when they get hurt by either accident or abusive care they either start crying or trembling with fear. Seeing something so cute get so upset is nothing short of heartbreaking.
For this I make sure never to mistreat my Chao.

You will feel absolutely horrible if you accidentally hurt a Chao.

14 Rosalina's Backstory - Super Mario Galaxy
15 Asriel's Redemption - Undertale

Why is this in the 28th spot? Why not 1st?

16 The Final Day - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
17 The Sans Boss Fight - Undertale

I hope I'm not the only one who's glad he's dead.

18 Claus's Attempted Suicide - Mother 3
19 Killing Toroko - Cave Story

Congratulations. You just killed the cutest character in the entire game.

20 Baby Metroid's Sacrifice - Super Metroid
21 F.L.U.D.D. Dies - Super Mario Sunshine

I know this is sad, but not as sad as a certain scene in Star Fox Command. Peppy sacrifices himself to save the galaxy. What a PAL!

F.L.U.D.D lived a wonderful life, so take her to a better place!

22 Egil's Death - Xenoblade Chronicles

Such an extremely emotional scene. The music and atmosphere both show she how touching and sad this moment is.

23 Saying Goodbye to Your Partner - Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

THIS DESERVES TO BE HIGHER! ( I had to choose between this and eos's end )

Your partner, after hearing that the player character thinks that they are going to disappear, reveals that they are Mew and must leave. They begin to disappear, to a song called Time to Part Ways, and their last words are" Do me one last favor, and don't you cry! " The player character calls for them and then falls to their knees.

The even sadder bit is that Mew almost succumbs to the same fate in the post game!

I was in tears after finding out the truth about my Fennekin pal Ellie. In real life, too.

24 Death of Sniper Wolf - Metal Gear
25 Claus's Suicide - Mother 3
