Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
For over a decade now, a big part of Koei Tecmo’s business has come through collaboration games – particularly through the Musou genre. On the Nintendo front, the company worked on Hyrule Warriors, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. But we’ve seen plenty of other collaborations as well including One Piece, Persona, and more.
During Koei Tecmo’s latest financial results briefing, one investor brought up how the company’s collaborative games has lowered over the past couple of years.

Today, we’re going over five of the saddest Nintendo endings of all time. As an important note, we’re only covering endings for games we’ve played, so if you can think of one that’s not on the list, feel free to share it with us in the comments down below.
For the most part, Nintendo is known for producing happy, feel-good games. Things like Mario and Kirby come to mind most here – just about all of their games end with a dramatic final boss fight, but a happy ending for the characters and world otherwise. That being said, some Nintendo games aren’t all kittens and rainbows at the end. Though far and few between, some of Nintendo’s sadder endings hit hard – and we’ve included five of the saddest Nintendo endings right here. Spoilers ahead!
