Super Metroid
After seemingly destroying the mother brain once again, the creature arises in an even more hideous and terrifying form. At the last moment before being obliterated, the metroid sacrifices itself and bestows upon you an untold amount of power to finish off the disturbing creature. After cleansing the planet of the beast, you quickly escape towards the surface(possibly saving the more friendly creatures if you so chose), and just barely surviving as you blast out into the cold abyss of space. In the 16-bit era, that's one hell of an ending.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Everything about Warcraft III's story was epic, but the ending to the frozen throne is by far the most memorable. Crippling illidan in the frozen wastes of northrend, arthas continues his unholy march up to the frozen throne, where the ancient orc Ner'Zhul awaits to merge with the death knight. Slicing the Icy pillar in 2 and picking up the crown. The ending is best summed up in 4 words:
"Now...we are one."
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Not only was it the best ending, it was probably the longest - the cinematics likely went for over a half an hour by the time you reached the end credits. Yet it was an ending that concluded questions that had been lurking since the beginning of the MG series, and would likely bring quite a few tears to the eye.
Heavy Rain
Say what you may about the game itself, but the ending(s) of heavy rain were literally molded by every decision and key moment in Heavy rain. Who lived or died, whether ethan and madison formed a romance, forming up to around 18 endings. Although chrono trigger had coined the popularity of multiple possible endings, but heavy rain really made it feel like it had more emotional strength to it.
Games Least Likely to make the list on the thread:
Halo 2
Diablo
Fallout 3
