Thread: Crying over a game?

Kinda an off-shoot of the MGS3 thread, I didn't want to derail it but the talk of a game making you cry came up for me today... On my way to work I was playing Moero! Nekketsu Rizumu-damashii Osu! Tatakae! endan 2 and just like the original game, there was one horribly sad stage, and here I am in the middle of everyone and I almost burst into tears right there. For those who don't know about the endan game series, first a couple of links !-- m --a classpostlink href m -- !-- m --a classpostlink href ... Ouendan2a!-- m -- If you checked those links and it looks like the game Elite Beat Agents , well you'd be right. EBA was made to be a more US understandable version of endan, since many of the situations, and really the basic of idea of an endan which translates to Cheer Squad, which in Japan is an all-male group, unlike American Cheerleaders is something that doesn't really exist here in the States. Anyway, in each game including EBA most of the stages are generally ridiculous situations, either in that they are light hearted and fun like cheering on a student as he studies for important exams while his family is noisy and distracts him or over the top a giant rat is attacking the city, and this mild-mannered business man becomes a giant man, like Ultraman, to save the city and his daughter from this monster. But also in each game is one very sad stage. For the original endan, it involved a man dying and going to heaven, but before he enters he asks if he can go back for just a little while. Descending from Heaven he finds the house of his girlfriend who's sad over his death. Even as a ghost, he does things like makes the light of his motorcycle out front look like a heart, or spills some tea also making it a heart. Even though he's dead he still loves her, and at the end she can see him and she knows that even in Heaven he'll still think of her and she can move on with her life. PS While typing this up I teared up a little... god I'm such a girl. In endan 2, the sad story is about a girl who gets in a fight with another girl who's out ice skating not certain if they are friends or sisters, since I can't read Japanese and gives her some angry comment before leaving. The ice skating girl leaves the rink that night and gets hit by a car, dying. The girl who was angry before is really sad over this and, even worse, her last words were harsh ones. She later goes to the icerink where she had last saw the other girl, and her old trainer gives her the ice skates of her dead friendsister. Then the surviving girl goes on to learn iceskating again she used to do it with the deceased girl and fulfills her friend'ssister's dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics, the final scene showing her skating by, the ghost of the other girl skating with her. I don't know about the sad story in EBA beyond the bare bones of it being something along the lines of a girl is cheered on and reunites with the spirit of her dead father. PS If you're interested in endan, but can't read Japanese, it's fine. Most of the game is done in comic form, so you can figure it out pretty easily, even if you miss some details. Anyway, what games have made you cry? I know MGS3 did this for a lot of people.
