The death of Bessie my cow on Harvest Moon: Its a Wonderful Life. When the fairies led me to my barn to see her dying, i turned off the game and never played it again. Still have the save on that day.

Watching the ending credits of my first game:

I certainly had some with Zelda OOT, the first pokemon game, Red Dead Redemption but i cant really remember how it feeled( yeah i have a very short memory), just remember it was memorable. Oh and of course Mario 64/Sunshine/Banjo and Kazooie, but not the same kind of emotion, just the pure joy to discover these superb 3D worlds with welcoming art/music and great gameplay ( different objectives to get the reward in the same world, allowing us to discover the world from an other pov ) in wonderful adventures. Far from the dull lifeless 3D platformers nowadays ... ( though maybe Ratchet will bring back this feel a little bit )

In the most recent, i have Phoenix Wright ( mostly the 3 with Godo, just heartbreaking ) , then Persona 4G ( even stronger in emotions, i think this one is definitely the best, no other games gave me so much emotions and souvenir), then almost as good, Virtue's Last Reward, the whole scenario mixed with some endings were quite deeply emotional and i remember i wanted to play the sequel already, unbearable, though sadly i cant remember all of it so now i should have to read a resume before playing the sequel but it wont be the same as if i had just play the sequel right after the this one .
There is already Deadly Premonition with it's memorable atmosphere and characters growing under your skin. You really feel bad at the end, after all the sides stories done, when you leave the game, leaving this atmosphere, it made me feel exactly like during Twin Peaks last episode.

Oh and obviously, TLOU, this one is the best emotional AAA game, i heard about it and it totally delivered. After this one, most AAA felt lifeless to me, i dont think any other game will ever reach that level, even from ND, they just nailed it, the perfection on the matter for a high budget game

not sure of the first, probably FFIV

Super Mario 64 DS for me, at the end with the staff roll music, it was so an amazing experience.

The same as me ! but on DS :)

Yeah that was a pretty nuts reveal, followed by going out into the town square only to find it filled with Zombies and no more dancing happy kids and town folk. Was a pretty grim world to wake up in as an Adult especially when you consider that link literally had his childhood robbed from him, he never got to grow up... was a child thrown into that Dark World.

I'm concerned i forgot a lot of N64 game like Golden Eye, Diddi Kong Racing , well all the cult games. The famous era when every nintendo game was a cult game.
