(Skip ahead to the ending after a few seconds)

I posted two images, but I notice a lot of these links are youtube. Are you okay with a game over cutscene then?

The Lion King 5 (NES bootleg)
the music is not from the game, in-game it just keeps playing whatever music it already was playing

Was thinking of posting this next.

Go with hardcore Diablo instead.

Is this Diablo III? I don't recognize it. Doesn't look like Diablo.

Yeah, screens are what I first had in mind but I didn't really take into consideration that a lot of game over screens need video for the whole context

Editing this on mobile so if somethings missing I'm working on it

Top Tier
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Undertale (get dunked on)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Sega Rally Championship
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Ninja Gaiden
Danganronpa (worst ending) - This one's a tricky one to really count, because typically Danganronpa's game overs are much different, and this is kind of a scripted special situation, but goddammit it is terrifying. The typically simple animation of the game does great work portraying the undeserved death, and then rather than just ending with a game over, it continues as if that's actually the intended ending, attempting to fake out the player

Upper Tier
Final Fight
Metal Gear Solid 3 (Time Paradox)
Comix Zone
Bayonetta
Diablo
Chrono Trigger (Bad Ending)
Romancing SaGa 3 (Bad Ending)
Metroid Prime
Goemon's Great Adventure - Very weirdly similar to Mystical Ninja Goemon but unfortunately it's a clear step down
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - weirdly dark for a Robin Hood game, but definitively effective

Mid Tier
Super Mario Bros.
Resident Evil 3
Hylics - where are you finding these obscure hyperviolent retro games?? The weirdest part here isn't even the death but how nonchalantly it bounces back to the game
Chrono Cross
Shadow of the Beast
Dark Souls
Donkey Kong Country
Waxworks
Total Distortion
The Punisher
Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Lower Tier
Silent Hill 4
Donkey Kong 64
Theme Park
Donkey Kong Country (series)
OverBlood
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventure - a clever enough play on the usual Game Over that's probably funny the first time but the edginess would get old quick
Baldur's Gate
Worms 3D

Bottom Tier
The Lion King - there's shocking death scenes in horror Games, and then these a series of Disney characters killing there in a weird kids game
Conker's Bad Fur Day (first death)
Banjo-Kazooie
Psybadek
A Bug's Life

That picture is, yes. I could be mistaken but I think it does the same thing in all three games. The font just isn't quite as snazzy.

Well if Danganronpa's bad end counts I would think this does too?

Spoilers for AA2, as if anyone here needs that warning

hylics isn't that obscure

now I want to see if I can find something for Tong Nou for the least orthodox death I can imagine
