Well since this is what everyone wanted that other thread to be about, I think we should actually go with it in this thread because it's kinda a neat topic and there's lots of nice songs that fit their game well and leave a pleasant aftertaste. So please list.

MGS1
MGS3
Kingdom Hearts
Xenogears
Xenosaga
FFX
Shadow Hearts
Silent Hill 1
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
BoFV
Ico
 
Yeah, XG is the winner here, if we're talking actual vocal songs (not just music pieces of any sort).

Well, that and Um Jammer Lammy :)
 
As I said in the other thread, Katamari Love is one of the best ending themes made. When combined with the end credits, Katamari Damacy has the single greatest end credits ever.

EDIT: Although; Metroid for NES has the single greatest end credits theme of all time.
 
FFVI
MGS & MGS3
Xenogears
FFVIII - say what you will but the ending theme rocks. Dark moody then the better FF vocal song then straight into the best version of Final Fantasy theme recorded ever.

I will say FFVIII rocks!! What do YOU say to THAT!!
 
RE.FUKIN.4 has the best EVERYTHING!

Nahh not really.

I forgot which Romancing game it was but the one Yoko Kanno composed. Mario 3 ending theme was pretty kick ass too.
 
Zone of the Enders 2 - Beyond the Bounds
Metal Gear Solid 3 - Way to Fall
Twisted Metal Black - Paint it Black
Onimusha
Shenmue
Final Fantasy 6/3(US)
Super Castlevania IV
Xenogears
Rez
Katamari Damacy
ICO
Zelda Windwaker
Zelda Link to the Past
 
Heavy spoilers on Conker's Bad Fur Day in black.

I may sound quite insistent or redundant, but -again- I really think Conker's Bad Fur Day had one of the most appropriate end credits songs, especially at the moment you become aware of the simple fact that the fun is over
because the ending contains the exact same shot pattern of sacred Conker sitting on his throne the game opened with. Then, they show you Conker re-sinking into alcohol, desperately trying to overcome the death of his dulcinea. And at the moment you know the only thing that changed since the beginning is a dark one, they close their story on a really depressing tone, abruptly contrasting with the overall humor of this piece. Here is the song (title containing spoilers >_<)... http://www.rareware.com/extra/downloads/bfd/conker_the_king_reprise.mp3
 
Kingdom Hearts. That song really made the whole ending and credits.

MGS1 and Xenogears also both had a really kickass ending song that rolled into the credits.
 
Man, too many to list.

Super Mario Land -- good choice! Chip music rocked.

Tekken 3 was awesome. Final Fantasy IV, V, VI and VIII were awesome (VII kinda sucked). Dragon Quest endings are usually awesome. Link's Awakening was awesome. Minish Cap... hell, most of the Zelda games...

I could go on and on and on.

But right now I'm in a Tekken mood so I think I'll pop my Tekken 3 soundtrack in for a quick go-round.
 
Way back when I used to really like the ending music for FFIV, but nowadays by the time the end credits start rolling on a game I'm either making myself a sandwich, relieving myself in the lavatory, or doing both...

I still whistle this tune when I'm about to finish something.

You win this thread. I still play the game through every now and then to hear the ending music, wish I could get an mp3/ogg.

You rule so much. I actually have a tape somewhere with the full version of this song on it, from the "Coming Out Of Their Shells" tour.

Have you ever heard the original version of Keep Your Head Up, from the Japanese game? It's instrumental and actually rocks really hard as well. Great choice by the way!

Some additional picks:

Bubble Bobble
The Legend of Zelda (the original)
Point Blank!!
Guitar Freaks 2nd Mix ("J Staff")
and of course, Mr Driller Drill Land

you don't need an mp3/oog. only winamp + the right plugin. hundreds and hundreds of nes/snes/genesis/sms/etc soundtracks can be found here. also, the filesizes are far smaller when you emulate the sound chip..
