When Mario says "Thank you so much for my playing my game!"
 
i really dont play any serious games because i have super baby interests so i really cant think of an example
about the only times a game made me cry was when i was just frustrated at it lmao. and tearing up at endings occacionally

but .. this isnt a scene but this in the brochure for darker side in mario odyssey did make me a bit emotional
From here you can observe galaxies shining in ways you never could see from home. Culmina Crater features vistas entirely unique from those you can find on the Dark Side of the Moon and Honeylune Ridge. If you're feeling down or disheartened, just take a look up at the Milky Way from here.

You can see each star twinkle as the nestle close to one another.

It will all be OK—you are not alone.

I have three answers, because they all got to me so much I can't choose one

  1. Ending of Super Paper Mario. Yeah you saw this coming but I really do feel it's an extremely emotional moment, where Count Bleck's love for Tippi, despite having driven him mad to the point of omnicidalism, turns him round and even leaves behind his beloved minions to go with her. He's remorseful for everything he's done and he's sacrificing himself to undo the work of his madness, but is also remorseful that Tippi might have to sacrifice herself too. Nonetheless they profess their love for each other and dissappear forever, but a heartbroken Nastasia is still confient that they're alive and happy together.
  2. Luvbi turning back into the Pure Heart. She was initally presented as just an ungrateful annoying child but you really get to relate to her towards the end, she's just a young person and she cares a lot about her parents and yet she's just so angry that there and then she scolds Jaydes and Grambi. Nonetheless, after the anger dies down, Jaydes explains that she and Grambi always loved Luvbi dearly and that they didn't want her to be unhappy. Luvbi (similarly to the above) forgives her parents for everything and says that she also loves them very much, and tells the heroes that they have to save the world, as her final wish, before turning back into the Pure Heart. A devastated Grambi tells the heroes that they HAVE to suceed just so no-one else has to cope with the suffering of losing family.

3. TEC meeting Mario (after defeating Magnus von Grapple 2.0). He was only made in the first place to serve evil but he doesn't care, he loves Peach and he's completely selfless to her and to Mario in hope that he would stop Grodus and save the princess. Particularly, it nearly reduced me to tears when he conjured up an image of the princess and told Mario "And tell her... thank you for me." Despite all the suffering he decided to put himself through, he's happy that he did what he did since because of the princess he got to love someone in his short life. He shut of his consciousness to get Mario out of the X-Naut fortress before (trying to) explode himself alongside the fortress.​

You just made me basically say by far the biggest reason I love MaRPGs lmao
 
I'm a baby whenever Mario Galaxy's ending plays. It's basically just like the Ending of Toy Story 3, except you play a video game and complete conventionally in a longer time than an hour and a half.

FE: Sacred Stone's ending, while not all that sad, still has a very touching scene in the credits. And another very good example from FE is the end of Gen 1 in Genealogy, or even chapter 5 in general, even if it's not a specific scene.
 
I wouldn't call it a "scene" per se, but most of the game, Metro 2033, is just depressing throughout. You're stuck underground in a train station with multiple other people, seeing the once beautiful train station that was the Moscow Metro reduced to rubble due to the nuclear apocalypse. Some supernatural beings that you encounter are very sad, such as the ghosts, who are always witnessing their final moments of their life (like kids who got killed by Nosalises, the everyday monster you find in the tunnels) or the Dark Ones, sad humans who got mutated from the radiation of the and are seen as hostile in the game. And then, finally, when you go over the city, the city is uninhabitated, dangerous to breathe in so you require gas masks to navigate and covered with snow, all buildings reduced to rubble, and you get flashbacks of what it once was from the Dark Ones inhabiting it. And there are lots of monsters on the prowl too.

Game's super memorable because of the sadness, and that part when you first go above ground is something I'll never forget.
 
Gotta agree on Rosalina's backstory.
Also when Fawful killed himself in an attempt to kill the Mario Bros. in Inside Story, I was like, "NOOOOO!!! HE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BADDIES!!!" [\SPOILER]
