Pic of the Day: Killer Instinct 2, Arcade.
Click for full size.
Welcome! Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger! Another great update with several translated Arcade Endings thanks to Jonny2x4, Paul Jensen, Japadius, Al LaPrade, Jotaro Raido, TK Flash and
Eien Ni Hen.
First, a note: Several Neo-Geo games were only released for the Arcade board (MVS), and not for the Home console (AES). So, I moved the Neo-Geo endings that only came out for
the Arcade board out of the Neogeo console section and into the Arcade endings section.
Ok, let's begin. Finally, all of the (hilarious) endings for Aero Fighters and Aero Fighters Special have been posted.
Aero Fighters Special? What's that, you might say? Well, you might know it as Sonic Wings Limited (released for the Playstation and Saturn as Sonic Wings Special). Thought to be the only game in the series to
not get an English release. But it did... in Taiwan of all places. So, enjoy the English ending, which you will not find anywhere else.
Next, I've posted the whole series of Bubble Bobble, Bubble Symphony and
Bubble Memories endings. The second game, specially, has a lot of endings! Too bad the 3rd one didn't try to match or improve that.
On that same note, I finished posting the rest of the confusingly named Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move series: Bust-A -Move Again EX and
Super Puzzle Bobble.
Also posted are the Neo-Geo MVS versions of Double Dragon and Real Bout Fatal Fury Special,
which are pretty much the same as the Neo-Geo AES (console) versions except that the Arcade version of the former has an extra set of credits if you beat the game without continuing and the
latter had Geese removed, so no ending for him in the Arcade version.
Moving on to the translations. You can check out the translated endings for Cotton 2 and Cotton Boomerang.
I never thought I would get those done, but thanks to Paul Jensen and Jonny2x4 I was able to.
In more translations news... Did you know that
Dragonninja, the Japanese version of Bad Dudes, has a completely different ending?
Well now you do and it's translated too.
Another "did you know?"... that the Japanese version of Final Fight has several developer messages after the credits (if you beat it without
continuing) that were cut from the English versions? The Japanese text is written in the Kansai-Ben dialect, which according to everyone, is pretty different from standard Japanese and
hard to translate. So as you can see by the long list of contributors, I had to enlist the help of a LOT of people to get that translation allegedly right.
Continuing on, here are a few more translated endings for Gokujou Parodius and Twin Bee Yahho!, two Konami shooters that
I always wanted to see translated. In addition, I have posted the translated endings for Phelios, Rabio Lepus (butchered and released in the USA as
Rabbit Punch) and Youkai Douchuuki (you might know it as Shadowland), which up until a few years ago, no one knew how to achieve all of the torturous
and hilarious endings.
I have also meaningfully updated the endings for Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, which has an epilogue for each character removed from the
English releases and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which removed the dialogue for both of Akuma's endings.
Those are now restored and translated. Thanks to Jonny2x4 for letting me know and for the translation.
Speaking of Darkstalkers, the endings for both Vampire Hunter 2 Darkstalkers Revenge and
Vampire Savior 2 Lord of The Vampire are translated now.
Man, these translations, they look so good that you wouldn't even know they were originally
Japanese if no one told you.
Oh wait, one more! The translated ending for Wolf Fang has been posted, known outside Japan as
Rohga Armor Force and sequel to Vapor Trail / Kuhga. You see, when the game was released in English,
they removed all the split paths and alternative endings, which you can now see here.
I also posted the ending to the 3rd game: Skull Fang. This one also had content removed for the English release. Maybe in the future I'll find
someone to translate that ending.
In fighting game news:
Ultra combooooo!! The Killer Instinct 2 ending is here! Did you know that for many years no one knew that this game had several more ending
variations? If it wasn't for a curious Paulina Jaramillo poking inside the ROM, it would have probably taken a lot longer for people to find out about it. Anyway, after she showed me the game script, I
decided to play around with the game and found several new endings by doing specific in-game tasks. But there were still a lot more endings missing according to the script inside the ROM. Turns out the
game has a bunch of unused endings that were never tied to the game, much to my dismay. However, thanks to Abystus, you can see all of them over at
The Cutting Room Floor.
That's not all, here are some more fighting game endings for Soul Edge and Soul Edge Version 2,
send by Ed like a million years ago. Also Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and
Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II.
And finally, the ending for Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara has been posted. It took so long because I spent years trying to get all of the
character epilogues (there are 4 per character) and some of those were almost impossible to get due to all the variations that can trigger them. But now it's done and you can enjoy them all.
Other notable mentions are the endings for: Batsugun, Battle Rangers,
Breaker's Revenge (one of the several Neo-Geo endings moved over to the Arcade section), Darius 2,
Dungeon Magic, Dynamite Duke, Finest Hour,
Forgotten Worlds and Storm Blade.

Do you know what a plethora is, jefe? A bunch of MSX2 endings that is. This is a great update with many translated endings by Jonny2x4, Eien Ni Hen, Paul Jensen and
Jotaro Raido. And of course, the other contributors, specially MP83 who finally finished Randar 2.
To start things off, let me mention the weirdest game: Famicle Parodic (and the sequel), which its sole reason to exist is to parody the Famicom (as the
name cleverly suggests). Nothing is more obvious to that cleverness than the fact that the last boss looks exactly like an obese Mario (wearing a KFC bucket). So umm, yeah. Moving on.
The next games are the worst, but I spent so much time trying to beat them that I have to at least mention that the endings for both Ash Guine
and Ash Guine 3 are posted and translated.
But let's talk about the good stuff now.
I managed to beat the Metal Gear clone with the confusing name of D' [Dixdaef] SF Violence RPG,
for those interested.
Also, you can find all three
Randar endings posted and translated. Randar, for those that don't know, is Compile's mascot. A blue round creature that sold you stuff in
The Guardian Legend and had cameos in several of Compile's shooters. This time, he is starring in two games (released in special promotional discs) , while on the third he is relegated to supporting character.
Next, following Randar's example, we have all three
Rune Master endings posted and translated. Another MSX exclusive Compile series that started its life in promotional discs and they consist of
throwing dice to move through a board-like stage to reach towns, caves and bosses (think Mario Party, but more RPG-ish and less cheating). It's pretty fun.
Speaking of Compile, you can now enjoy the ending for the Golvellius spin-off titled Super Cooks, also released on promotional discs.
Now take a look at the great Firehawk (Thexder 2) ending. It's long, pretty and... translated! It look me a looong time to capture and assemble
that full size last boss. That thing moved, you see.
Also, the Valis 2 ending has been completely translated, even that long message after the
credits telling you how to participate in a contest. I never thought I was going to find someone to translate all of that, but thanks Jonny2x4.
In addition, I posted the translated Usas ending since it has a longer ending than the version released in Europe (titled Treasure of Usas).
It makes me glad to mention that the Dragon Slayer series of endings are complete, you can find the endings for Xanadu (Dragon Slayer 2),
Romancia (Dragon Slayer 3), Sorcerian (Dragon Slayer 5),
Sengoku Sorcerian and Pyramid Sorcerian. They were really hard to get. (Dragon Slayer 4 and 6 were already posted.)
Also note other cool endings posted and/or translated: Andorogynous, Feedback, War of The Dead Part 2,
Undeadline, among others.
Last but not least, the endings for both XZR and XZR 2 have been translated. You might know them better as
Exile, from the ports/sequels released for the Turbografx-CD and Genesis. Anyway, in the original versions, the games touch many controversial themes such as religion, drugs... and the
fact that you need to kill the president of the United States to be able to finish the game. Wicked.
And finally, the endings for Gambare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu, Xak and
Ys 3 have been updated with new content.
This version of Goemon, unlike the NES version, has seven distinct loops with different endings each. I missed that the first time, but it has been corrected.
On Xak, there's a bonus scene after the credits, which has been added and translated. As for Ys 3, depending if you finish the game on Easy/Normal or Hard mode, there's a part of the epilogue that
changes, it has been added now.
Hope you enjoy this update!

Genesis does what Nintendon't! Sort of.
To start things off, here's the translated Panorama Cotton ending thanks to SamIAm, Jonny2x4 and Paul Jensen.
The translation looks so good, that you wouldn't even know it was originally in Japanese if no one told you. You'll see lots more translated endings from those guys in the future.
And have a look at the Gynoug ending, which is kind of like a proto Cho Aniki. If you don't know what Cho Aniki is, that's good! Anyway, the game says
"fuck you" when you beat the 2nd loop on the hardest difficulty, how rude!
I also have the Syd of Valis ending, a localization so lazy that they didn't
even bother to translate the credits. Even the title is just mispronouncing the Japanese name: SD Valis (as in, Super Deformed Valis). In some good news, I managed to get all of the Valis and most of the Cotton
endings translated for the other consoles, so stay tuned for those.
There are more endings displayed on this update such as Chase HQ 2, Columns 3, Gley Lancer, Super Fantasy Zone, Virtua Figther 2 (what?) and... just go look, I'm not going to mention them all.

It's been a while since the Game Boy Advance endings section has seen some love. Well then, here's a small - but good - update.
You can amuse yourself with the translated
ending for the cult classic Mother 3. I also added the Wario Land 4 ending... it took a long time,
but I managed to include every single variation. Say "thank you rey".
There are a few more endings for games like Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, Klonoa 2, and Mr Driller 2,
which (as per my usual fashion) include every single ending.
In addition, I do want to give special mention to the Game Boy Advance version of
Star Wars Episode III Revenge of The Sith. If you never bothered to play the game because you thought it was just another loveless licensed cash-in, then
stop and go play it. It's a fast Beat'em Up with very good gameplay, pretty 2D graphics and animation.
Lastly, the Game Boy Advance Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles simply titled
TMNT is another underrated brawler/Beat'em Up that I recommend. It has touches of River City Ransom in the sense that you can purchase gear, health items and
abilities. After the Konami-made TMNT's, this is the only one that comes close to that quality.

A special thanks to Jonny2x4 for translating several of these MSX endings. Specially the
Gradius 2 ending which was butchered when it was released in Europe as
Nemesis 2 and a new translation for
the Japanese Salamander ending which was severely
abbreviated when released in Europe too.
In addition, the
Parodius ending has also been updated and completely translated.
Other notable mentions that you can enjoy to hate are the endings to the three Hydlide and
Dragon Slayer games, which were very difficult to obtain.

Today I bring you new Amiga AGA endings sent by NPI and Cody Jarrett. I have zero Amiga experience, so I don't know what could be
a highlight of this update. Simon the Sorcerer looks like a cool point-and-click adventure I guess.

I said I would be back. So I'm back! successkid.gif
The last time this site was active, youtube wasn't a shadow of what it is today.
Today you can find pretty much every game
ending over there, which means that ending screenshots are kind of irrelevant now if all you're looking for is to see how
a game ends, plus there's the whole deal of screenshots not having music and stuff.
But god damn if screenshots don't look pretty and crispy clear. The way you can capture a specific moment just makes
everything feel like a boss. But whatever, guy, take your fancy videos with music.
Glimmer of hope though, at least there's someone putting the images to good use
(as opposed to all the people that steal them for posting at GameFAQs, as if that's going to give them a bigger dick).
That someone is Jeremy Parish, former
1up.com writer/editor/dragon boss and current writer/editor/dragon boss at the newly formed
USGamer. He's dissecting the level design for several classic series such as
Castlevania, Zelda, Mario, Metroid (to name a few) over at his
ever-name-changing site. I don't have to mention that they
are really
awesome
articles.
You will most certainly learn something new about your favorite games after reading those articles.

So, uhh, hi. How's it going?
Some years ago I updated the Playstation endings section with the
Lethal Wea... I mean, with the Policenauts
and Fatal Fury Special: Dominated Mind endings. Just thought people should know...
Tomorrow I'll be back with more endings. Please don't send me new stuff, or else I will never finish posting
everything that has accumulated over the years.
