Mickey and Dryzen are unaware of this, which is completely ludicrous seeing how they're ''fused together'']]) and the reveal following the end of ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' ([[spoiler:Gig turns out to be fine -- being TheGrimReaper, he simply had himself reborn following his HeroicSacrifice]]).

** ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' has a bonus level after the credits; it was supposed to be the second level in the game, but [[BrutalBonusLevel was just too difficult for that stage]].
** The original ''Call of Duty'' features a movie in the background that was essentially a side-scrolling rendition of the American campaign. ''Call of Duty 2'' features a joint American-British mission to rescue the captured Captain Price going on behind the credits.
** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' features a movie reel of the day of the assassination of President Kennedy [[spoiler:who Mason, the player character, having hallucinated pointing a gun at earlier in the game, is shown standing among the crowd.

** ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts'' ends with [[spoiler:Logan and Hesh laying on the beach watching the Federation base get blown up... and then ''[[NotQuiteDead Rorke]]'' shows up, breaks Logan's arm, and drags him off, stating his intention to destroy the Ghosts together with Logan. A final shot shows Logan trapped in a cell, presumably undergoing the same torture Rorke endured.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'':
** After the epilogue text finally scrolls off the screen in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest'' (it's pretty slow-scrolling), you see Dracula's hand clawing up out of his grave. This only happens in the Good Ending.
** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheAdventure'', after the end credits roll, we see Dracula bust out of the ruins of his castle in bat form.
** After the credits of ''Lords of Shadow'', the game gives one last scene from the present time.

* ''VideoGame/DreamfallTheLongestJourney'' features a cryptic flashback scene after the credits, where Mannie Chavez ([[spoiler:who is actually Cortez, the {{mentor|s}} from the original ''VideoGame/TheLongestJourney'' and a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon in human form]]]]) helps Brian Westhouse (who easily qualifies as the most ambiguous character of the game) reach a Tibetan monastery though a heavy blizzard. The situation is worsened by the fact that it was Westhouse's stay in the monastery that allowed him to travel to the parallel world, which kicked off the StartOfDarkness described in the game.

* After one passed through the three different scenarios of ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness: Sanity's Requiem'', one was treated to the whole truth about the ultimate fate of the three {{Big Bad}}s of the game, which just happened to be {{Eldritch Abomination}}s named Xel'lotath, Ulyaoth, and Chattur'gha. As it turns out, each had imprisoned the oldest and most powerful of the four, Mantorok, who in revenge had set in motion three different timelines, in which one of the three got killed and another got locked forever. The kicker? Just to screw with them, he bound the three timelines together, so the three of them remained dead. That didn't help him out of being impaled in huge pillars under his temple in Cambodia, though...
Added DiffLines:
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' ends with a cutscene that is, scene-for-scene, the same as the cutscene where Chrom and Lissa find [[PlayerCharacter the Avatar]].

* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' has Lamarr, Dr. Kleiner's pet headcrab, drop out of a ventilation shaft after the credit roll and leap at the camera in typical headcrab fashion, along with the sound of Dr. Kleiner searching for the animal from somewhere off-screen. ''Episode 1'' had a trailer for ''Episode 2''.

** ''VideoGame/Halo3'''s campaign ended with [[spoiler:a memorial service in honour of the main character, who is believed to be dead after the intergalactic portal he was passing through closed and cut his ship in half.]] If you stayed for the credits, though, you would find out that [[spoiler:he is not actually dead. He's just stranded in half a ship in the middle of nowhere. He climbs into a cryo-pod and goes to sleep to await rescue.]] The game added a further stinger if completed on [[HarderThanHard Legendary]], in which [[spoiler:the main character's half-a-ship is seen drifting towards an alien planet, which a bright blue sun reveals is covered by a huge city.]]

** ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' has a PLAYABLE stinger. [[spoiler: You play through Noble Six's last stand on a burning Reach, fighting endless hordes of Covenant troops, your visor breaking as you gain more damage. When your health runs out a cutscene plays of several Elites ganging up on you and killing you, before a TimeSkip occurs showing a rebuilt Reach in 2586, the shot lingering on your abandoned helmet as Dr. Halsey provides a eulogy offscreen.]]
** ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'' includes a cutscene done in the same CGI style as the prologue, showing the aftermath of the Composition of New Phoenix, and Master Chief having his armor removed for the first time in years, while a speech given by the [[BigBad Didact]] to what seems to be a group of Forerunners plays in the background, warning them of the threat humanity poses. Completing the game on Legendary [[spoiler: allows a glimpse of Chief's face as his helmet is removed as a bonus.]]

** Done immediately after the credits in ''Battle Network 2'', when [[spoiler:the real Bass appears and hunts down a clone of himself, then mentions something about [[TheChessmaster Dr. Wily]] secretly manipulating the game's villains and producing clones of him behind his back.]] In a massive subversion, this not only helps set up the next game, but the area in which the cutscene takes place is actually the game's BonusDungeon, with {{Bonus Boss}}es that will indirectly answer some of your questions. You can unravel part of the mystery yourself while waiting for ''3''!

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' started a trend across the next few games of the stinger being a phone call, usually with us only hearing a single half. [[spoiler:Revolver Ocelot is revealed to have been working for the President of the US and manipulating the villains for their cause.]] The stinger then gets its ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment own]]'' stinger when the final line of dialogue reveals that the President himself [[spoiler:is a third clone of Big Boss.]]
** In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty Sons of Liberty]]'', [[spoiler:Snake and Otacon discover, among other things, that the members of the shadowy conspiracy The Patriots include one of their own biggest funders, and have been dead for over 100 years]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Snake Eater]]'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:GRU Major Ocelot is a triple agent (working for both the KGB and the CIA), the US government obtained the [=MacGuffin=] (which happened to be a very large amount of money), and the microfilm Naked Snake (later Big Boss) apparently lost to an enemy agent was fake]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPortableOps Portable Ops]]'', [[spoiler:after assassinating his former employer, the DCI, Ocelot retrieves the remainder of the Philisopher's Legacy and reports back to his new employer, the founder of the Patriots, whom we find out in the next game is none other than Zero, Big Boss's former CO.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Guns of the Patriots]]'' takes the cake, with a full scene that ''interrupts'' the end credits and effectively turns the credit that just came up as it happens into a {{Boss Subtitle|s}}. [[spoiler:In it, Big Boss turns out to '''still''' be alive, and explains the last hanging threads of the series. It makes the Bittersweet Ending a bit happier, but not really.]]

Instead [[spoiler:it features Solid Snake explaining to Otacon that he's finally going to retire from the battlefield and live out the remaining months he has to live peacefully. He also quits smoking.]] Notably, this stinger is implied to be a FramingDevice as Otacon says he wants to pass on Snake's story... and it would not be out of character for him to make a video game series about it.]]
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker''s' ending contains Naked Snake [[ForegoneConclusion finally taking up the mantle of Big Boss]] and [[spoiler:denouncing The Boss for betraying her moral code. A secret second ending has Big Boss discovering Zero is responsible for the events of the game, resulting in Big Boss rallying Militaires Sans Frontières to fight wherever they're needed, before he finally redubs MSF's HQ as "Outer Heaven."]]
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' explains why [[spoiler:Kaz sold Big Boss out: The ''real'' Big Boss abandoned his old crew, leaving behind a brainwashed body double as the Player Character-cum-decoy, and went on to become a full-blown terrorist with actual child soldiers, so Kaz made the player character and Solid Snake stronger to take him down. Also, Ocelot was probably the one who murdered Kaz in 2005.]]
** Series spinoff ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' even includes one, where [[spoiler:Raiden explains that he has only damaged a fraction of Desperado/Armstrong's web of corruption, with Raiden leaving Maverick for good to continuing to fight his own war.

** In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Snake Eater]]'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:GRU Major Ocelot is a triple agent (working for both the KGB and the CIA), the US government obtained the [=MacGuffin=] (which happened to be a very large amount of money), and the microfilm Naked Snake (later Big Boss) apparently lost to an enemy agent was fake]].
** In ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPortableOps Portable Ops]]'', [[spoiler:after assassinating his former employer, the DCI, Ocelot retrieves the remainder of the Philisopher's Legacy and reports back to his new employer, the founder of the Patriots, whom we find out in the next game is none other than Zero, Big Boss's former CO.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots Guns of the Patriots]]'' takes the cake, with a full scene that ''interrupts'' the end credits and effectively turns the credit that just came up as it happens into a {{Boss Subtitle|s}}. [[spoiler:In it, Big Boss turns out to '''still''' be alive, and explains the last hanging threads of the series. It makes the Bittersweet Ending a bit happier, but not really.]]
*** ''Guns of the Patriots'' even has a second Stinger. It's the first in the MGS series to ''not'' reveal some sort of conspiracy. Instead [[spoiler:it features Solid Snake explaining to Otacon that he's finally going to retire from the battlefield and live out the remaining months he has to live peacefully. He also quits smoking.]] Notably, this stinger is implied to be a FramingDevice as Otacon says he wants to pass on Snake's story... and it would not be out of character for him to make a video game series about it.]]
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker''s' ending contains Naked Snake [[ForegoneConclusion finally taking up the mantle of Big Boss]] and [[spoiler:denouncing The Boss for betraying her moral code. A secret second ending has Big Boss discovering Zero is responsible for the events of the game, resulting in Big Boss rallying Militaires Sans Frontières to fight wherever they're needed, before he finally redubs MSF's HQ as "Outer Heaven."]]
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' explains why [[spoiler:Kaz sold Big Boss out: The ''real'' Big Boss abandoned his old crew, leaving behind a brainwashed body double as the Player Character-cum-decoy, and went on to become a full-blown terrorist with actual child soldiers, so Kaz made the player character and Solid Snake stronger to take him down. Also, Ocelot was probably the one who murdered Kaz in 2005.]]
** Series spinoff ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' even includes one, where [[spoiler:Raiden explains that he has only damaged a fraction of Desperado/Armstrong's web of corruption, with Raiden leaving Maverick for good to continuing to fight his own war. It ends with him drawing on a group of mooks surrounding him.]]

** Following that in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', we're treated to a scene with Classic Eggman and Modern Eggman trapped in the same white void Sonic and his friends were flung in from the very start, only with no way out.
** ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' features Eggman apparently surviving his fall, with a Pocky pulling out his mustache, thinking it was a carrot. Orbot & Cubot came over to Eggman as he got up, then they question about his ripped mustache... the doctor then turns back, and the robot duo's reactions were... priceless, to say the least.

* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' averts this, [[spoiler:by placing an unexpected interactive bit after the last mission. When the player finishes the last mission, there's a cutscene, you get a nice big fat game-complete Achievement (in Xbox 360 at least), and... ''no credits.'' Using Eagle Vision, you discover weird markings with hints to come all over the Animus laboratory, then you find a really ''big'' one... and ''then'' the credits roll. ''And'' you get another Achievement for ''just watching the credits''.]]
** [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII The sequel]] plays it straight, though: [[spoiler:Lucy throws Desmond an Assassin's wrist-blade and they confront the Abstergo assault team led by Warren Vidic, the Templar scientist from the first game.]] You get to play [[spoiler:as Desmond fighting the Templars]] while the credits roll, then in a final cutscene, [[spoiler:Vidic escapes and Desmond and the other Assassins run to a new safehouse to [[SequelHook analyze what they've learned from the Animus]]]].
* After the credit scene in ''VideoGame/{{Aveyond}} 3-4'', the audience finally got to know who Nox and Uma really are. [[spoiler:They are Mel's daughters from the future. Nox wanted Mel to take over the world, so that ''she'' can inherit it from her]].

* Upon finishing ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' for the first time, you are given a "Congratulations!" message accompanied by a scrolling picture of every single character, enemy, and boss that is seen in the game, along with sad-sounding music-box music. After hitting the A or X button (depending on which system you are playing on), you are awarded a music video of Bayonetta dancing through various locations visited throughout the game.
* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil''. So, you get to the BigBad, give him a good kicking, and save the day. Credits roll, and when they're done? [[spoiler:Turns out dear Uncle Pey'j has developed the [=DomZ=] disease in his hand.]]
* The ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' sequel which came out in 2009 features this in the end credits which is a morse code. The first line of the morse code gets translated mentioning that the plan of the bad guys had been disabled, awaiting for further instructions. The second code however gets interrupted by the screen glitching up and returning you to the title screen. It's been translated by fans, and is a German-language message discussing beginning "Phase 2" of Project Albatross.
* Once the credits stop rolling following the MindScrew ending of ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', you get to play as Booker for a few moments as [[spoiler:he steps into Anna's room.]] The implications, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation depending on your interpretation]], are either that [[spoiler:with the Comstock realities erased, this version of Booker will now get to live with his daughter in peace]] or [[spoiler:his alternate universe counterpart's Heroic Sacrifice failed to change anything, and he's about to go through with the events that kicked off the game in the first place.]]
* The ''VideoGame/BitTrip'' series has one for each game:
** ''BEAT'': [=CommanderVideo=] comes into corporeal existence and declares, "I am only a man."
** ''CORE'': [=CommanderVideo=] dances around until someone runs into him, bringing the existence of other people to his attention, declaring "I am not alone."
** ''VOID'': [=CommanderVideo=] runs in increasing speeds, eventually reaching SuperSpeed. "I am ready!"
** ''RUNNER'': The RecurringBoss comes back one last time to declare revenge against [=CommanderVideo=], who lifts off with his newly-formed FiveManBand. "You are ''not'' a man!"
** ''FATE'': [[spoiler:[=CommanderVideo=], in death, ascends, turning into a white, alien figure.]]
** ''FLUX'': [[spoiler:A brief image of the Commander, vibrating to a beat, as everything fades to white.]]
* In ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite 2'', both the core game and the expansion pack have these.
** After the credits in the core game, it directly answers the ElephantInTheLivingRoom of "Where Are The Other Gods" - by having your victory over your enemy be so drastic that its few survivors were able to make a pure-enough prayer to create another god.
** In the expansion pack, just after defeating the God of The Undead, the camera pans over to a bare spot of ground, and you see a skeleton rise up and chuckle. Cut to credits. Wait until after the credits, however, and you see that either your divine hand (or someone with a flaming arrow) had noticed the skeleton and blew it up.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' DLC ''The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned'', the eponymous doctor is the final boss, but is little more than an EliteMook. The credits (quickly) roll...and then the ''real'' final boss, Zombie Dr. Ned, pops up.

* ''VideoGame/{{Contact}}'' has a stinger that, for some reason, only appears some of the time. [[spoiler:The Professor writes a letter asking Terry and the player's forgiveness, as he knows he's only a game character made of data but had thought he was fighting off what the developers and localization team were making him do. He's decided You Can't Fight Fate, but at the same time wonders why he has emotions, explaining that he spent all the time the game was off living without the player. the professor then asks if you respected and cared about Terry or treated him as the hero in a game, that he and Terry are alike, and he's going to travel the world while his data stays as the professor in-game. He then asks about the player, keeping what they said to him as a memento, and goes off to search for something only he can find.]]
* The Family Computer version of ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' has a secret epilogue where the [[http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hzk/kommander/con1fend.html aliens swear vengeance on the heroes]]. It was removed in the NES version.

* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', after Isaac wins the [[spoiler:battle against Nicole]], he snaps back to reality and looks around in shock before sitting down, exhausted and defeated, as the computer system announces that a facility-wide failure is imminent. The credits start playing as Isaac sits on the ground, listing all the main cast members. [[spoiler:Then his videoscreen activates]]:
-->'''[[spoiler:Ellie]]:''' You complete bastard! Was this your great plan? [[spoiler:Dump me off and die]]?\\
'''Isaac:''' [[CallBack I'm full of bad ideas, remember?]]\\
'''[[spoiler:Ellie]]:''' Yeah, well here's another one. [[spoiler:I'm crashing through the roof to get you. Now move your ass]]!
* After the credits roll at the end of ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', an audio conversation plays between [[spoiler:Bob Page and Morgan Everett]], who are discussing the "Morpheus Initiative", and then an actual conversation between [[spoiler:Page and Megan Reed, who's come to work for him, and is hinted to have engineered the "Gray Death" virus encountered in the original game]]. After this, however, the player receives another achievement, "The D Project" (which comes complete with a picture of ''VideoGame/DeusEx'''s protagonist JC Denton) and the whole theme from the original game plays.
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3'', if you kill 100 demons during the credits, a scene in which Vergil is in the demon world and ready to chalenge Mundus, the BigBad of the original game and the demon Sparda (Dante and Vergil's father) sealed in the Underworld.
-->"It will be fun to fight with the prince of darkness. If my father did it, I should be able to do it too!"
* The first ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has a montage of stingers after its credits, starting with [[spoiler: a shot of the EGG and an unconscious, naked Sera hooked up to lots of wires and drenched in fluid. Then it fades to Serph in a cloak, clenching his fist as he remembers Sera reaching out to him; before he walks in a deserted, sandstorm battered city with human-looking stone statues under a black sun. Finally, it ends with a screen asking "Are you ready for the real world?"]] All of this is hinting at an obvious SequelHook.
* At the end of the Xbox 360 version of ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou]]'', Saya is shown standing on a cliff alone, [[TragicKeepsake wearing Hina's hair ribbons]], until she hears a voice. She turns toward the camera and smiles, implying either the Pilot had come to comfort her or that [[spoiler: her sister Hina was [[BackFromTheDead rebuilt]].]]
* In the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1'', in the final battle against K. Rool. At some point, he will lie defeated on the ground, while faux credits roll listing K. Rool and his minions as the game developers, each with a "K" title, followed by "The End?" appearing on screen. The camera then pans back to K. Rool, who grunts, jumps up, and resumes the battle by suddenly jumping on top of you. This ended up being played for laughs in later ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' games, with K. Rool feigning defeat or being knocked out and waking back up a moment later to keep fighting, often multiple times in the same battle.
* In the original ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' (1993), after finally battling your way through three episodes of hell-spawn, you're returned to Earth. Nice, home Earth, complete with a pastoral graphic and peaceful music. Then the music turns into a LastNoteNightmare, while the camera pans to show a [[IncendiaryExponent city on fire]] and a rabbit's head impaled on a stick.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
** The main game has a triple-whammy of a Stinger: [[spoiler:The final scene reveals that Solas, your companion and possible friend/love interest, is the elven god Fen'harel. In the same scene, you learn from Flemeth that he is responsible for giving [[BigBad Corypheus]] the orb that set all the events of the game in motion. And to top it all off, the scene ends with Solas/Fen'harel absorbing [[AmbiguousSituation something]] from Flemeth, appearing to kill her in the process.]]
** The last DLC for this game, "Trespasser", features [[spoiler:a hilarious audio reading of Varric's new book, ''This Shit is Weird'', read by none other than Cassandra herself. Must be heard to be believed.]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' had an option to save after the credits were done rolling, followed by a shot of a dais on top of a mountain, where an image would appear. Players could load the save, which would bring them to just before the final battle. Finding and examining the aforementioned dais would transport the party to a new dungeon, and a new sidequest at the end of it. Completing the sidequest, then beating the final boss again would change the ending very slightly (namely, [[spoiler:the hero gets to marry Princess Medea rather than simply running off with her]][[note]] 3DS version only [[/note]] ).
* If you've got all the secret digits in ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'', you get to fight the BonusBoss. The ending cutscene also has Trouble Bruin take control of the ruined castle.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' Had this in the form of a 500-years-later epilogue: Red XIII is seen running alongside two cubs of his own race to look upon an abandoned and ruined Midgar, followed by the laughter of children. This same scene is used as the opening of ''Advent Children'', sans the giggles.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', after the end FMV descends into the surreal, comes back out again, and remains coy thereafter as to whether or not Squall survived being lost in time, a final FMV sequence shows him on Garden's balcony with Rinoa.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', entering a code while "The End" shows on screen allows you to play a game of blackjack.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' features pyreflies floating around, cutting to Tidus awakening and floating somewhere, and then swimming to the surface. [[spoiler:This clip was later integrated into one of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'''s MultipleEndings.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has stingers after each string of main scenario quest:
*** ''A Realm Reborn'': [[spoiler:The Warrior of Light has a foreboding vision just before news of a new primal awakening hits. All the while, the Ascians begin to gather...]]
*** ''Seventh Astral Era'': [[spoiler:Lolorito's mysterious plot proceeds apace as Raubahn is imprisoned and the Ascians approach Urianger.]]
*** ''Heavensward'': [[spoiler:As Elidibus gathers the Warriors of Darkness, a powerful new primal emerges; the gargantuan mechanical beast, Alexander.]]
*** ''The Dragonsong War'': [[spoiler:Raubahn vows to liberate Ala Mhigo. Meanwhile, Emperor Neros plots...]]
** The end of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' shows [[spoiler:Noctis and Lunafreya reuniting in the afterlife at their wedding]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' has one of the most analyzed and debated stingers. [[spoiler:Delita and Ovelia are in a courtyard. Ovelia attacks Delita and Delita responds by killing her.]]
* After the credits for ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'', the player can listen to a conversation between Genevieve Aristide, the CorruptCorporateExecutive whose meddling caused the events of the entire game, and an unnamed US Senator who was connected to Projects Origin and Perseus, where she mentions that the "First Prototype" [[spoiler: the Point Man, or in other words, ''you'']], was a "complete success." In ''F.E.A.R. 3'' after the credits is a video of Paxton Fettel's time as a child, when the first "Synchronicity Event" happened that caused Project Origin to be shut down. [[spoiler: He kills about a dozen guards with his psychic powers before they manage to subdue him with tranquilizers.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:G]]
* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar2'' finishes the end credits with a title card while [[spoiler:a scratchy radio messages plays out. "This is Adam Fenix. IS anyone out there? ''What have you done?!?''"]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'': [[spoiler:After stabbing himself with the Blade of Olympus and releasing Hope to the people of Earth, Kratos collapses and dies. After the credits, though, Kratos's body is gone and a trail of blood leads over the side of the mountain.]]
* The credits in ''VideoGame/GrandiaII'' are actually ''playable''! You control each character one at a time and can talk to people. This credits sequence serves as the game's denouement.
* Which most entries in the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' franchise allow the player to continue exploring the game worlds, even picking up missed non-crucial missions, after the credits roll, ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' actually has an exclusive post-credits mission that is only awarded to players who achieve "100% completion". [[spoiler:The mission doubles as an Easter Egg because it appears a random length of time (often several game days or even weeks) after the player continues to explore the sandbox after completing the main game. The mission has one of the three protagonists hunting a Bigfoot.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:H]]
* In ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'', completing [[MushroomMan Mister Mushroom]]'s sidequest rewards you with a post-credits cutscene of him flying over Dirtmouth, followed by "ToBeContinued" text, hinting at his possible return in future games.
* In ''VideoGame/HolyUmbrella'', after the credits, a retired Dondera goes fishing and catches Dondera Tank, who is rather displeased with having been left at the bottom of the ocean.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:I]]
* Naturally, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou like everything else in the game]], ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'''s stinger can kill you.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:J]]
* Both ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' games have one last transmission from Professor K following the credits. In the first game, he tells you "...on the streets, there's no such thing as 'The end'!" In Future, he announces that Tokyo is being terrorized again, and commands the [=GGs=] to go out and stop it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:K]]
* If one stays on TheEnd screen at the end of ''Videogame/KidIcarusUprising'''s credits, [[spoiler:Hades]] will address the player.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:L]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfKyrandia: Hand of Fate'': Oh, hey, it's the petrified Malcom from the first game. Oh, hey, [[LightningCanDoAnything lightning storm]].
* The ending of ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'' shows a little dialogue after the end that links to the beginning of the prequel-sequel ''VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom''.
* ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns'' ends with [[spoiler:the heroine dying, but promising to come back. After the other characters' epilogues [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters (which are ''long''),]] she really does reunite with her love alive, [[{{Seers}} thanks to her ability to make everything she has foreseen become true.]]]]
* The Stinger in ''VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals'' has [[spoiler:Iris/Erim speaking with Arek the Absolute over the humans' victory. Iris's sorrow over Maxim and Selan's HeroicSacrifice prompts the [[EmpathicWeapon Dual Blade]] to send her back in time, starting the events of NewGamePlus.]] Finishing the NewGamePlus has an alternate Stinger, where [[spoiler:Arek reflects on Erim's sacrifice to save Maxim and Selan]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:M]]
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', after the credits, you're shown a scene of a "stargazer" and a child speaking of travelling among the stars and the legend of "the Shepard". This scene is notable in that, if you pick one of the vanilla endings, he's voiced by Buzz Aldrin, second man to walk on the moon (the stargazer in the Extended Cut's [[spoiler:Refusal]] ending is an alien woman with a different voice actor). Also, assuming your EMS is high enough and you [[LastSecondEndingChoice choose a certain ending]], you can get a scene where the camera pans over a pile of rubble to reveal [[spoiler:Shepard, who then [[NotQuiteDead appears to take a breath]]]].
** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' actually has two (non-combat-based) plot-related missions, one side-mission, and the concluding task of one game-long side-mission, that all unlock (along with literally dozens of conversations with various NPC characters) ''after'' the end credits roll. Among all this is also a brief SequelHook cutscene.
* The original ''VideoGame/MasterOfOrion'' uses this uncommonly well. In both endings, the final scene is your emperor's NewEraSpeech upon assuming the throne of the Galactic Imperium, followed by a comment from the newscaster who's been giving you status reports all game. In the good ending, the newscaster's stinger is fairly unremarkable, leaving the speech as the last significant bit of the story. In the tyrant ending, however, the stinger is a bit of [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] that subverts the victory gained on the back of, potentially, a quintuple genocide.
* After the credits in ''[[VideoGame/MetalSlug Metal Slug 3D]]'', Oguma, who was thought to have [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed himself]] to defeat [[FinalBoss Lieu]], is revealed to have survived and hands Rumi Aikawa his information disc before leaving.
* Towards the end of the credits of ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'', the song playing ("Still Alive"... [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} no, not that one]]) temporarily fades out [[spoiler:to a news cast reporting Faith and her sister as criminals whose whereabouts are unknown]].
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': [[spoiler:Liu Kang and Kitana, both still revenants, are the new rulers of Netherrealm. Raiden appears before them, presents Shinnok's [[NotQuiteDead still-living]] [[OffWithHisHead head]], and promises that he will no longer simply protect Earthrealm, but will destroy any who threaten it.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' and its sequel ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' have a scene after the credits setting up the sequel. ''Mother'' sees someone at a phone mentioning that "something new has come up", while ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has TheDragon's little brother show up and deliver a message to the protagonist.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', sticking around for a while after the credits shows [[spoiler:the game's characters coming on-screen and revealing that they're all right. [[GainaxEnding Or are they?]]]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:N]]
* Depending on [[MultipleEndings which ending you get]], ''VideoGame/NanashiNoGame'' ends its credits roll with either [[spoiler:your hero being thanked by Asahi]] or [[spoiler:the cursed RPG being transferred from your hero's TS to ''yours'']].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:P]]
* One sentence from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney:'' [[spoiler:Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death.]] This was a SequelHook added in the DS remake.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky]]'', it's only after the credits roll that you see [[spoiler:your hero return and reunite with their partner]]. While you'll probably already be expecting something like this, given [[spoiler:the games' ample post-game content]], they still milk it for all it's worth.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity'': [[spoiler: Breaking out of the tradition, the hero doesn't return, and the stinger is instead your partner's TearJerker of a promise that they'll always be with you in spirit, narrated against a black background.]]
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', the credits end with [[spoiler:N flying away on Reshiram/Zekrom (depending on the version)]].
* ''VideoGame/PonyIsland'': [[spoiler:After the credits, Hopeless Soul appears and requests that you uninstall Pony Island so that his own soul can be free as well. Also by typing "David" in the red devil face where it tells you about your background, then digging through some hidden in-game control options. It will reveal you the title of the sequel -- "Pony Island 2: Panda Circus".]]
* ''{{VideoGame/Primal}}'' has Jen reading next to Lewis's hospital bed, waiting/hoping for him to regain consciousness.
[[.folder]]
[[folder:R]]
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'':
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'' ends with [[spoiler:the titular duo watching an advertisement where Qwark is selling devices called the Personal Hygenator. He gives a demonstration. Ratchet reacts in disgust and tells Clank to turn the TV off]].
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando'' has two. [[spoiler:The first stinger, during the middle of the credits, has Ratchet and Clank in Megapolis with Angela and the Infobot questioning on what became of Qwark. Cut to Qwark in a lunchroom telling several robots about his new job as a test dummy, before the announcer calls him in for his next task]]. The second, happing at the very end, [[spoiler:shows Qwark being strapped down for a [[GroinAttack cruthetizer test]]]].
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' has [[spoiler:Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, having escaped their HumongousMecha exploding through an undirected teleport]], sitting on an asteroid griping.
** ''VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked'' has [[spoiler:Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, still on the same asteroid. Still griping.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack In Time]]'' ends in a similar way, but now it's [[spoiler:Captain Qwark stranded on an asteroid, floating through the galaxy on the wreckage of Nefarious's space station. He's not quite alone, though. He does have a War Grok for company, an ill-tempered beast the size of a small house. Who hasn't been fed. Good luck there, Captain.]]
* In ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTombRaider'', [[spoiler:an after credits scene reveals Lara confronting Ana over how she was ordered to kill her father just before a Trinity sniper executes Ana. When the sniper asks to kill Lara, Trinity's leader orders him to spare her for the time being.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:S]]
* ''VideoGame/SacredEarthPromise'': If the player manages to complete all the sidequests, they'll get an additional scene [[spoiler:where Razhell, Aurelius, and Fiamme reveal that Relima is a Prophet]].
* After the [[TearJerker depressing]] ending and credits scene of the final episode of ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse]]'', [[spoiler:the time machine from Season 2 (A.K.A. Beyond Time and Space) shows up in the present, with past Max. He and Sam then walk off into the sunset, discussing what they're going to do next.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheSecondRealityProject'' has the following stingers:
** In ''Reloaded'', if you get all 117 exits and wait for the cast of characters to end, you'll see a scene with [[spoiler:Zycloboo and Little Boo discussing how to turn on the Power Switch at the Power Supply Station]].
** The remake of the second game, ''Zycloboo's Challenge'', has a picture of Mario back home in the Mushroom Kingdom at night after the credits. If you clear the secret level "[[spoiler:Battle of the Mages]]", the picture of Mario is changed to take place at day and in a different pose. Getting all 112 exits reveals some more after Mario's scene: [[spoiler:a picture of the Catgoom Kingdom residents building their great fair, and a scene where Marty Mole has finally given Bowser his sitrep]].
* In ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'', after defeating the [[TheButlerDidIt robotic butler]] BigBad, a scene at the end of the credits shows that he's been repaired by [[AbsentMindedProfessor his creator]]. He appears to be simply robotic until the scientist leaves the room, and then he smirks and laughs evilly during the closing fade. If you're truly hardcore in dealing with this trope, another 29 minutes with "The End?" on screen will net you an extra "cryptic" credit and a blank screen. Another 5 minutes after ''that'' will give the final message, "It's Bill's fault," before resetting back to the title screen.
* Waiting for 10 minutes on the credits screen of ''[[VideoGame/ShiningForce Shining Force II]]'' takes you to a bonus battle where you fight all the boss characters.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' features different stingers for each of its MultipleEndings. In some of them, the hero's seen escaping the town [[spoiler:with the reborn Alessa/Cheryl, and with or without Cybil]]. In others, he's seen [[spoiler:lying dead in the jeep he wrecked at the beginning of the game]].
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/StarCraftI'', where if you wait long enough after the end of the first Terran mission briefing, it will say "END OF BRIEFING" ... "END OF BRIEFING (No really)" ... "CHINESE LEMON CHICKEN [with recipe]".
* In ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'', assuming your RelationshipValues were high enough, and [[GuideDangIt you didn't miss certain events]], you're treated to a scene of [[spoiler: Faize [[NoOneShouldSurviveThat (Who was previously seen to have been sucked into a black hole)]] appearing by Lymle's side to place a flower in her hair]] following the credits.
* ''VideoGame/SunsetOverdrive'' has a double stinger. After a HeroicSacrifice and a fake-out credits roll, the [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall-breaking]] {{player character}} pesters the developers to [[AuthorsSavingThrow revise the ending]], then the TrueFinalBoss battle commences. Following the real credits, [[SequelHook FizzCo helicopter drones take off to deliver Overcharge around the world.]]
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** The end of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' has a scene showing a beat-up Larry Koopa managing to limp his way back home, with Bowser Jr. pointing him towards their siblings helping their father up from his shell. As they cheer on with their little victory, [[spoiler:their castle tips forward and crushes them, with the screen fading to black and Bowser groaning in pain.]]
** After the credits in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'', [[spoiler:Bowser Jr. is seen dragging Bowser, turns his head towards the player and says something, before continuing]] and fading out to black.
** If you beat Bowser at the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' with all 120 stars, then after the credits are over, we get to see Rosalina fly away to a different part of the galaxy, followed by a baby Luma climbing out of a damaged flying saucer.
** If you beat Bowser at the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' with all 120 stars, then after the credits, it's revealed that [[NarratorAllAlong the events of the entire game were actually part of a storybook Rosalina was telling to the Lumas]]. Once she is finished reading, she decides to tell said Lumas another story, which segues into the second phase of the game involving collecting the "Green Stars" (composing of the remaining 120 stars), which are required to access the game's ''true'' final level, [[spoiler:Grandmaster Galaxy.]]
** ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker'' has one of the Green Stars the titular character collects flying off after the credits, and he chases after it. [[spoiler:Then the intro to ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' is shown, unmodified except for Captain Toad jumping in after the four main heroes, revealing that [[StealthSequel it was a prequel all along]].]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' ends with a scene where [[spoiler:Count Bleck/Blumiere and Tippi/Timpani are shown to be alive and well standing in a meadow, finally allowed to be together.]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
** ''Brawl'', in its very first trailer from E3 2006; once the trailer ends, it's blank for a moment, then the INCOMING CALL sound from Metal Gear Solid plays, revealing the last Newcomer character to the series, Solid Snake. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8eUXiUKAc Here]]
** In a Nintendo Direct for the 3DS/Wii U installments, there's a video showing the return of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Charizard]] and the Newcomer [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Greninja]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'', earning the [[MultipleEndings best ending]] will show the stinger after the credits, where [[spoiler:Emil and Marta are reunited]], and Emil and Marta both earn a title for use in a NewGamePlus.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' ends with [[spoiler:Luke turning bright and disappearing during an act that is supposed to kill him]]. After you go through the credits, a rather heartwarming anime cutscene plays, revealing that [[spoiler:no, Luke didn't die- he simply merged with Asch, thus, apparently, no longer being a replica, but the original himself.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple'': [[spoiler:In the Tower Ascent ending, seemingly nothing is different if you choose to upload Milton (and you have the option to remark on that). After the credits roll, though, up pops the eye logo, with the same beeps the terminals used to get your attention]].
* Most of the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' "Meet the Team" shorts have a bonus scene after the game's logo and group photo is shown, and before the end-video logos and game info are shown:
** ''Meet the Soldier'': Soldier yells the last words of his speech to the severed head that fell off his fence.
** ''Meet the Scout'': Scout is eating a Sandvich, then the camera zooms out to reveal that it's Heavy's, and Heavy is laying on the ground, unconscious. (also, the base is now RED's)
** ''Meet the Sniper'': A continuation of the phone call scene from earlier, with Sniper telling his dad to put mom on the phone.
** ''Meet the Sandvich'': The action scene from ''Meet the Heavy'', only now Heavy is eating a Sandvich as everyone on BLU dies.
** ''Meet the Spy'': RED Spy picks up the photograph of him and Scout's Mom holding hands, says "Ah, my petite chou-fleur" [[note]]Translation: My little cauliflower[[/note]], and walks away, all while peaceful French music plays.
** ''Meet the Medic'': We hear Medic finishing his operation on Scout while the other RED classes wait in the waiting room. As he leaves the operating room, he has a yellow glow in his chest and yells "Oh-ho-ho-ho ''man'', you would not ''believe''...how much this hurts," followed by Archimedes cooing from within his body.
** ''Meet the Pyro'': Pyro walks into the sunset in Pyroland, but as the camera pans out into reality through a hole in Soldier's chest, we see buildings crumbling and the corpses of the BLU members that Pyro killed. Pyro then whistles very slowly as the screen fades to black.
* ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}} 2'', after "winning" the Tatsumaru missions. [[spoiler:SUZAKU IS ONIKAGE!]]
* In ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'', Dr. Watts is shown next to Rivers and Johnny's graves by the lighthouse, obviously thinking about something before Tommy and Sarah arrive with Dr. Rosalene. The two children leave and soon Eva gets a phone call for another patient. The two Doctors start to leave, only for [[spoiler: the screen to flash red for a second, like when they were insides Jonny's memories and he was getting closer to death. Dr. Watts notices and takes out a bottle of painkillers, gulps it down and glances around as if to make sure that no one saw before leaving. This implies one (or even both!) of two things: One, he's addicted to the painkillers or two... he's dying.]] It also has a SequelHook in the form of the game's title with a checkmark next to it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:U]]
* ''Undertow'' has a short scene after the credits where Captain Nemo, the boss of the 2nd chapter, comes back to life and shouts "These are MY waters!"
* ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'' has a lengthy [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue Where Are They Now Stinger]] split over multiple scenes after the credits.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:V]]
* ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' has voiced soliloquies by Lezard and Brahms - but you have to wait several minutes after the credits to hear them. Notably, the creepy, vague messages following the B ending [[GuideDangIt are the only indication to the player that what you thought was the]] GoldenEnding wasn't it at all, and that you're going to have to work harder next time. "Nothing is over yet," indeed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:W]]
* The credits of ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' has this in detailing the fallout from all the chaos caused throughout the game. [[spoiler: A major human traficking ring is brought down. The mayor of Chicago is found dead, with speculations of either suicide or assassination. Even after Aiden and Damien's final battle, Blume is still ready to go forward with a new version of ctOS. [=DedSec=] also declares war on Blume. One last stinger is in the end when it comes to tying up a loose end: Maurice Vega, the man responsible for killing Aiden's niece. You have one last choice: kill him, or spare him.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/WildArms1 Wild ARMs Alter Code F]]'' - after the animated sequences in the credits, the game picks up approximately a year after the final battle where all of the teammates from the game have gathered around [[spoiler:the broken body of Asgard the Earth Golem]].
* In the "Enhanced Edition" of ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2'', after about twenty minutes of credits the player is rewarded with a scene of [[spoiler:Nilfgaard beginning its invasion of the Northern Kingdoms]].
* After the credits in ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', [[spoiler: a helicopter is heard approaching.]]
* ''Wrestling/{{WWE}} [=SmackDown=]: Here Comes the Pain'' had one of these after sitting through the end credits, where you got a short, live-action video with John Cena rapping about the game.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:X]]
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' has ''two'' stingers, both of which [[GainaxEnding throw major curveballs on the plot]]. The first [[spoiler:shows Elma and a small team of Reclaimers checking on the data room of the Lifehold Core only to find the entire thing has been trashed since the landed on Mira, leaving them questioning how any of them are alive in the first place]]. The second [[spoiler:shows Lao, who had just died at the end of Chapter 12, lying on a beach somewhere and being approached by a mysterious figure who never appears anywhere else in the game. [[AllThereInTheManual The game's Japanese artbook]] seems to imply this is a character called The Black Knight.]] "[[TheEndOrIsIt This Story Never Truly Ends]]", indeed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Y]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 0}}'': for the first time in the story, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima meet.
-->'''Majima''': ...Yo...'''''KIRYU-CHAN!!!'''''
* ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'':
** After the credits of the original game, the stork places Baby Mario and Baby Luigi on a doorstep of a mushroom-shaped house. It then cuts to the parents' hands holding them up as a slowed-down version of the Level Complete music from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' plays, with text reading, "Heroes are born! THE END" (Or "Our heroes are born!" if you're playing the Advance version). The game is then stuck at this screen forever unless you turn off or reset the SNES.
** In the end of ''New Island'', [[spoiler:Yoshi is seen rescuing Baby Luigi and the stork, again, as the stork delivers the Mario Bros back home again. After the credits, we see a similar ending to the first Yoshi's Island game, except the text says "Our heroes are born!...Again!". Finally, the mysterious Mr. Pipe is revealed to be the adult Mario from the future, as he disappears magically.]]

* In the best ending of ''VideoGame/{{Aquaria}}'', after the ending credits, Naija winds up swimming through a cavern devoid of enemies, eventually finding herself [[spoiler:kidnapped by her mother, Mia.]] The ending then moves on to a possibility for a sequel.
* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' averts this, [[spoiler:by placing an unexpected interactive bit after the last mission. When the player finishes the last mission, there's a cutscene, you get a nice big fat game-complete Achievement (in Xbox 360 at least), and... ''no credits.'' Using Eagle Vision, you discover weird markings with hints to come all over the Animus laboratory, then you find a really ''big'' one... and ''then'' the credits roll. ''And'' you get another Achievement for ''just watching the credits''.]]
** [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII The sequel]] plays it straight, though: [[spoiler:Lucy throws Desmond an Assassin's wrist-blade and they confront the Abstergo assault team led by Warren Vidic, the Templar scientist from the first game.]] You get to play [[spoiler:as Desmond fighting the Templars]] while the credits roll, then in a final cutscene, [[spoiler:Vidic escapes and Desmond and the other Assassins run to a new safehouse to [[SequelHook analyze what they've learned from the Animus]]]].
* After the credit scene in ''VideoGame/{{Aveyond}} 3-4'', the audience finally got to know who Nox and Uma really are. [[spoiler:They are Mel's daughters from the future. Nox wanted Mel to take over the world, so that ''she'' can inherit it from her]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:B]]
* After the credits have run for ''[[VideoGame/BattleKidFortressOfPeril Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Tornment]]'', [[spoiler:Helga Kraftie is revealed to have survived, and she vows revenge against Timmy]].
* Upon finishing ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' for the first time, you are given a "Congratulations!" message accompanied by a scrolling picture of every single character, enemy, and boss that is seen in the game, along with sad-sounding music-box music. After hitting the A or X button (depending on which system you are playing on), you are awarded a music video of Bayonetta dancing through various locations visited throughout the game.
* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil''. So, you get to the BigBad, give him a good kicking, and save the day. Credits roll, and when they're done? [[spoiler:Turns out dear Uncle Pey'j has developed the [=DomZ=] disease in his hand.]]
* The ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' sequel which came out in 2009 features this in the end credits which is a morse code. The first line of the morse code gets translated mentioning that the plan of the bad guys had been disabled, awaiting for further instructions. The second code however gets interrupted by the screen glitching up and returning you to the title screen. It's been translated by fans, and is a German-language message discussing beginning "Phase 2" of Project Albatross.
* Once the credits stop rolling following the MindScrew ending of ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', you get to play as Booker for a few moments as [[spoiler:he steps into Anna's room.]] The implications, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation depending on your interpretation]], are either that [[spoiler:with the Comstock realities erased, this version of Booker will now get to live with his daughter in peace]] or [[spoiler:his alternate universe counterpart's Heroic Sacrifice failed to change anything, and he's about to go through with the events that kicked off the game in the first place.]]
* The ''VideoGame/BitTrip'' series has one for each game:
** ''BEAT'': [=CommanderVideo=] comes into corporeal existence and declares, "I am only a man."
** ''CORE'': [=CommanderVideo=] dances around until someone runs into him, bringing the existence of other people to his attention, declaring "I am not alone."
** ''VOID'': [=CommanderVideo=] runs in increasing speeds, eventually reaching SuperSpeed. "I am ready!"
** ''RUNNER'': The RecurringBoss comes back one last time to declare revenge against [=CommanderVideo=], who lifts off with his newly-formed FiveManBand. "You are ''not'' a man!"
** ''FATE'': [[spoiler:[=CommanderVideo=], in death, ascends, turning into a white, alien figure.]]
** ''FLUX'': [[spoiler:A brief image of the Commander, vibrating to a beat, as everything fades to white.]]
* In ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite 2'', both the core game and the expansion pack have these.
** After the credits in the core game, it directly answers the ElephantInTheLivingRoom of "Where Are The Other Gods" - by having your victory over your enemy be so drastic that its few survivors were able to make a pure-enough prayer to create another god.
** In the expansion pack, just after defeating the God of The Undead, the camera pans over to a bare spot of ground, and you see a skeleton rise up and chuckle. Cut to credits. Wait until after the credits, however, and you see that either your divine hand (or someone with a flaming arrow) had noticed the skeleton and blew it up.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' DLC ''The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned'', the eponymous doctor is the final boss, but is little more than an EliteMook. The credits (quickly) roll...and then the ''real'' final boss, Zombie Dr. Ned, pops up.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:C]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Contact}}'' has a stinger that, for some reason, only appears some of the time. [[spoiler:The Professor writes a letter asking Terry and the player's forgiveness, as he knows he's only a game character made of data but had thought he was fighting off what the developers and localization team were making him do. He's decided You Can't Fight Fate, but at the same time wonders why he has emotions, explaining that he spent all the time the game was off living without the player. the professor then asks if you respected and cared about Terry or treated him as the hero in a game, that he and Terry are alike, and he's going to travel the world while his data stays as the professor in-game. He then asks about the player, keeping what they said to him as a memento, and goes off to search for something only he can find.]]
* The Family Computer version of ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' has a secret epilogue where the [[http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hzk/kommander/con1fend.html aliens swear vengeance on the heroes]]. It was removed in the NES version.

[[folder:D]]
* In ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'', after Isaac wins the [[spoiler:battle against Nicole]], he snaps back to reality and looks around in shock before sitting down, exhausted and defeated, as the computer system announces that a facility-wide failure is imminent. The credits start playing as Isaac sits on the ground, listing all the main cast members. [[spoiler:Then his videoscreen activates]]:
-->'''[[spoiler:Ellie]]:''' You complete bastard! Was this your great plan? [[spoiler:Dump me off and die]]?\\
'''Isaac:''' [[CallBack I'm full of bad ideas, remember?]]\\
'''[[spoiler:Ellie]]:''' Yeah, well here's another one. [[spoiler:I'm crashing through the roof to get you. Now move your ass]]!
* After the credits roll at the end of ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', an audio conversation plays between [[spoiler:Bob Page and Morgan Everett]], who are discussing the "Morpheus Initiative", and then an actual conversation between [[spoiler:Page and Megan Reed, who's come to work for him, and is hinted to have engineered the "Gray Death" virus encountered in the original game]]. After this, however, the player receives another achievement, "The D Project" (which comes complete with a picture of ''VideoGame/DeusEx'''s protagonist JC Denton) and the whole theme from the original game plays.
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3'', if you kill 100 demons during the credits, a scene in which Vergil is in the demon world and ready to chalenge Mundus, the BigBad of the original game and the demon Sparda (Dante and Vergil's father) sealed in the Underworld.
-->"It will be fun to fight with the prince of darkness. If my father did it, I should be able to do it too!"
* The first ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has a montage of stingers after its credits, starting with [[spoiler: a shot of the EGG and an unconscious, naked Sera hooked up to lots of wires and drenched in fluid. Then it fades to Serph in a cloak, clenching his fist as he remembers Sera reaching out to him; before he walks in a deserted, sandstorm battered city with human-looking stone statues under a black sun. Finally, it ends with a screen asking "Are you ready for the real world?"]] All of this is hinting at an obvious SequelHook.
* At the end of the Xbox 360 version of ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou]]'', Saya is shown standing on a cliff alone, [[TragicKeepsake wearing Hina's hair ribbons]], until she hears a voice. She turns toward the camera and smiles, implying either the Pilot had come to comfort her or that [[spoiler: her sister Hina was [[BackFromTheDead rebuilt]].]]
* In the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1'', in the final battle against K. Rool. At some point, he will lie defeated on the ground, while faux credits roll listing K. Rool and his minions as the game developers, each with a "K" title, followed by "The End?" appearing on screen. The camera then pans back to K. Rool, who grunts, jumps up, and resumes the battle by suddenly jumping on top of you. This ended up being played for laughs in later ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' games, with K. Rool feigning defeat or being knocked out and waking back up a moment later to keep fighting, often multiple times in the same battle.
* In the original ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' (1993), after finally battling your way through three episodes of hell-spawn, you're returned to Earth. Nice, home Earth, complete with a pastoral graphic and peaceful music. Then the music turns into a LastNoteNightmare, while the camera pans to show a [[IncendiaryExponent city on fire]] and a rabbit's head impaled on a stick.
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'':
** The main game has a triple-whammy of a Stinger: [[spoiler:The final scene reveals that Solas, your companion and possible friend/love interest, is the elven god Fen'harel. In the same scene, you learn from Flemeth that he is responsible for giving [[BigBad Corypheus]] the orb that set all the events of the game in motion. And to top it all off, the scene ends with Solas/Fen'harel absorbing [[AmbiguousSituation something]] from Flemeth, appearing to kill her in the process.]]
** The last DLC for this game, "Trespasser", features [[spoiler:a hilarious audio reading of Varric's new book, ''This Shit is Weird'', read by none other than Cassandra herself. Must be heard to be believed.]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' had an option to save after the credits were done rolling, followed by a shot of a dais on top of a mountain, where an image would appear. Players could load the save, which would bring them to just before the final battle. Finding and examining the aforementioned dais would transport the party to a new dungeon, and a new sidequest at the end of it. Completing the sidequest, then beating the final boss again would change the ending very slightly (namely, [[spoiler:the hero gets to marry Princess Medea rather than simply running off with her]][[note]] 3DS version only [[/note]] ).
* If you've got all the secret digits in ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'', you get to fight the BonusBoss. The ending cutscene also has Trouble Bruin take control of the ruined castle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:E]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Einhander}}'', [[spoiler:a post-credits scene shows an Einhander fighter powering up, implying that the player succeeded in destroying the entirety of the Selene nation and survived.]]
* ''VideoGame/ExitFate'' has a SequelHook in the form of a rather cryptic monologue after the credits roll.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:F]]
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' Had this in the form of a 500-years-later epilogue: Red XIII is seen running alongside two cubs of his own race to look upon an abandoned and ruined Midgar, followed by the laughter of children. This same scene is used as the opening of ''Advent Children'', sans the giggles.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', after the end FMV descends into the surreal, comes back out again, and remains coy thereafter as to whether or not Squall survived being lost in time, a final FMV sequence shows him on Garden's balcony with Rinoa.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', entering a code while "The End" shows on screen allows you to play a game of blackjack.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' features pyreflies floating around, cutting to Tidus awakening and floating somewhere, and then swimming to the surface. [[spoiler:This clip was later integrated into one of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'''s MultipleEndings.]]
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has stingers after each string of main scenario quest:
*** ''A Realm Reborn'': [[spoiler:The Warrior of Light has a foreboding vision just before news of a new primal awakening hits. All the while, the Ascians begin to gather...]]
*** ''Seventh Astral Era'': [[spoiler:Lolorito's mysterious plot proceeds apace as Raubahn is imprisoned and the Ascians approach Urianger.]]
*** ''Heavensward'': [[spoiler:As Elidibus gathers the Warriors of Darkness, a powerful new primal emerges; the gargantuan mechanical beast, Alexander.]]
*** ''The Dragonsong War'': [[spoiler:Raubahn vows to liberate Ala Mhigo. Meanwhile, Emperor Neros plots...]]
** The end of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' shows [[spoiler:Noctis and Lunafreya reuniting in the afterlife at their wedding]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' has one of the most analyzed and debated stingers. [[spoiler:Delita and Ovelia are in a courtyard. Ovelia attacks Delita and Delita responds by killing her.]]
* After the credits for ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'', the player can listen to a conversation between Genevieve Aristide, the CorruptCorporateExecutive whose meddling caused the events of the entire game, and an unnamed US Senator who was connected to Projects Origin and Perseus, where she mentions that the "First Prototype" [[spoiler: the Point Man, or in other words, ''you'']], was a "complete success." In ''F.E.A.R. 3'' after the credits is a video of Paxton Fettel's time as a child, when the first "Synchronicity Event" happened that caused Project Origin to be shut down. [[spoiler: He kills about a dozen guards with his psychic powers before they manage to subdue him with tranquilizers.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:G]]
* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar2'' finishes the end credits with a title card while [[spoiler:a scratchy radio messages plays out. "This is Adam Fenix. IS anyone out there? ''What have you done?!?''"]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'': [[spoiler:After stabbing himself with the Blade of Olympus and releasing Hope to the people of Earth, Kratos collapses and dies. After the credits, though, Kratos's body is gone and a trail of blood leads over the side of the mountain.]]
* The credits in ''VideoGame/GrandiaII'' are actually ''playable''! You control each character one at a time and can talk to people. This credits sequence serves as the game's denouement.
* Which most entries in the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' franchise allow the player to continue exploring the game worlds, even picking up missed non-crucial missions, after the credits roll, ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' actually has an exclusive post-credits mission that is only awarded to players who achieve "100% completion". [[spoiler:The mission doubles as an Easter Egg because it appears a random length of time (often several game days or even weeks) after the player continues to explore the sandbox after completing the main game. The mission has one of the three protagonists hunting a Bigfoot.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:H]]
* In ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'', completing [[MushroomMan Mister Mushroom]]'s sidequest rewards you with a post-credits cutscene of him flying over Dirtmouth, followed by "ToBeContinued" text, hinting at his possible return in future games.
* In ''VideoGame/HolyUmbrella'', after the credits, a retired Dondera goes fishing and catches Dondera Tank, who is rather displeased with having been left at the bottom of the ocean.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:I]]
* Naturally, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou like everything else in the game]], ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'''s stinger can kill you.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:J]]
* Both ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' games have one last transmission from Professor K following the credits. In the first game, he tells you "...on the streets, there's no such thing as 'The end'!" In Future, he announces that Tokyo is being terrorized again, and commands the [=GGs=] to go out and stop it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:K]]
* If one stays on TheEnd screen at the end of ''Videogame/KidIcarusUprising'''s credits, [[spoiler:Hades]] will address the player.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:L]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfKyrandia: Hand of Fate'': Oh, hey, it's the petrified Malcom from the first game. Oh, hey, [[LightningCanDoAnything lightning storm]].
* The ending of ''VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals'' shows a little dialogue after the end that links to the beginning of the prequel-sequel ''VideoGame/LufiaAndTheFortressOfDoom''.
* ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns'' ends with [[spoiler:the heroine dying, but promising to come back. After the other characters' epilogues [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters (which are ''long''),]] she really does reunite with her love alive, [[{{Seers}} thanks to her ability to make everything she has foreseen become true.]]]]
* The Stinger in ''VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals'' has [[spoiler:Iris/Erim speaking with Arek the Absolute over the humans' victory. Iris's sorrow over Maxim and Selan's HeroicSacrifice prompts the [[EmpathicWeapon Dual Blade]] to send her back in time, starting the events of NewGamePlus.]] Finishing the NewGamePlus has an alternate Stinger, where [[spoiler:Arek reflects on Erim's sacrifice to save Maxim and Selan]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:M]]
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', after the credits, you're shown a scene of a "stargazer" and a child speaking of travelling among the stars and the legend of "the Shepard". This scene is notable in that, if you pick one of the vanilla endings, he's voiced by Buzz Aldrin, second man to walk on the moon (the stargazer in the Extended Cut's [[spoiler:Refusal]] ending is an alien woman with a different voice actor). Also, assuming your EMS is high enough and you [[LastSecondEndingChoice choose a certain ending]], you can get a scene where the camera pans over a pile of rubble to reveal [[spoiler:Shepard, who then [[NotQuiteDead appears to take a breath]]]].
** ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' actually has two (non-combat-based) plot-related missions, one side-mission, and the concluding task of one game-long side-mission, that all unlock (along with literally dozens of conversations with various NPC characters) ''after'' the end credits roll. Among all this is also a brief SequelHook cutscene.
* The original ''VideoGame/MasterOfOrion'' uses this uncommonly well. In both endings, the final scene is your emperor's NewEraSpeech upon assuming the throne of the Galactic Imperium, followed by a comment from the newscaster who's been giving you status reports all game. In the good ending, the newscaster's stinger is fairly unremarkable, leaving the speech as the last significant bit of the story. In the tyrant ending, however, the stinger is a bit of [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] that subverts the victory gained on the back of, potentially, a quintuple genocide.
* After the credits in ''[[VideoGame/MetalSlug Metal Slug 3D]]'', Oguma, who was thought to have [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed himself]] to defeat [[FinalBoss Lieu]], is revealed to have survived and hands Rumi Aikawa his information disc before leaving.
* Towards the end of the credits of ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'', the song playing ("Still Alive"... [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} no, not that one]]) temporarily fades out [[spoiler:to a news cast reporting Faith and her sister as criminals whose whereabouts are unknown]].
* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'': [[spoiler:Liu Kang and Kitana, both still revenants, are the new rulers of Netherrealm. Raiden appears before them, presents Shinnok's [[NotQuiteDead still-living]] [[OffWithHisHead head]], and promises that he will no longer simply protect Earthrealm, but will destroy any who threaten it.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}'' and its sequel ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' have a scene after the credits setting up the sequel. ''Mother'' sees someone at a phone mentioning that "something new has come up", while ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has TheDragon's little brother show up and deliver a message to the protagonist.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', sticking around for a while after the credits shows [[spoiler:the game's characters coming on-screen and revealing that they're all right. [[GainaxEnding Or are they?]]]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:N]]
* Depending on [[MultipleEndings which ending you get]], ''VideoGame/NanashiNoGame'' ends its credits roll with either [[spoiler:your hero being thanked by Asahi]] or [[spoiler:the cursed RPG being transferred from your hero's TS to ''yours'']].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:P]]
* One sentence from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney:'' [[spoiler:Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death.]] This was a SequelHook added in the DS remake.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam'' and ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky]]'', it's only after the credits roll that you see [[spoiler:your hero return and reunite with their partner]]. While you'll probably already be expecting something like this, given [[spoiler:the games' ample post-game content]], they still milk it for all it's worth.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity'': [[spoiler: Breaking out of the tradition, the hero doesn't return, and the stinger is instead your partner's TearJerker of a promise that they'll always be with you in spirit, narrated against a black background.]]
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', the credits end with [[spoiler:N flying away on Reshiram/Zekrom (depending on the version)]].
* ''VideoGame/PonyIsland'': [[spoiler:After the credits, Hopeless Soul appears and requests that you uninstall Pony Island so that his own soul can be free as well. Also by typing "David" in the red devil face where it tells you about your background, then digging through some hidden in-game control options. It will reveal you the title of the sequel -- "Pony Island 2: Panda Circus".]]
* ''{{VideoGame/Primal}}'' has Jen reading next to Lewis's hospital bed, waiting/hoping for him to regain consciousness.
[[.folder]]
[[folder:R]]
* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'':
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002'' ends with [[spoiler:the titular duo watching an advertisement where Qwark is selling devices called the Personal Hygenator. He gives a demonstration. Ratchet reacts in disgust and tells Clank to turn the TV off]].
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando'' has two. [[spoiler:The first stinger, during the middle of the credits, has Ratchet and Clank in Megapolis with Angela and the Infobot questioning on what became of Qwark. Cut to Qwark in a lunchroom telling several robots about his new job as a test dummy, before the announcer calls him in for his next task]]. The second, happing at the very end, [[spoiler:shows Qwark being strapped down for a [[GroinAttack cruthetizer test]]]].
** ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' has [[spoiler:Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, having escaped their HumongousMecha exploding through an undirected teleport]], sitting on an asteroid griping.
** ''VideoGame/RatchetDeadlocked'' has [[spoiler:Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, still on the same asteroid. Still griping.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureACrackInTime A Crack In Time]]'' ends in a similar way, but now it's [[spoiler:Captain Qwark stranded on an asteroid, floating through the galaxy on the wreckage of Nefarious's space station. He's not quite alone, though. He does have a War Grok for company, an ill-tempered beast the size of a small house. Who hasn't been fed. Good luck there, Captain.]]
* In ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTombRaider'', [[spoiler:an after credits scene reveals Lara confronting Ana over how she was ordered to kill her father just before a Trinity sniper executes Ana. When the sniper asks to kill Lara, Trinity's leader orders him to spare her for the time being.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:S]]
* ''VideoGame/SacredEarthPromise'': If the player manages to complete all the sidequests, they'll get an additional scene [[spoiler:where Razhell, Aurelius, and Fiamme reveal that Relima is a Prophet]].
* After the [[TearJerker depressing]] ending and credits scene of the final episode of ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse]]'', [[spoiler:the time machine from Season 2 (A.K.A. Beyond Time and Space) shows up in the present, with past Max. He and Sam then walk off into the sunset, discussing what they're going to do next.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheSecondRealityProject'' has the following stingers:
** In ''Reloaded'', if you get all 117 exits and wait for the cast of characters to end, you'll see a scene with [[spoiler:Zycloboo and Little Boo discussing how to turn on the Power Switch at the Power Supply Station]].
** The remake of the second game, ''Zycloboo's Challenge'', has a picture of Mario back home in the Mushroom Kingdom at night after the credits. If you clear the secret level "[[spoiler:Battle of the Mages]]", the picture of Mario is changed to take place at day and in a different pose. Getting all 112 exits reveals some more after Mario's scene: [[spoiler:a picture of the Catgoom Kingdom residents building their great fair, and a scene where Marty Mole has finally given Bowser his sitrep]].
* In ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'', after defeating the [[TheButlerDidIt robotic butler]] BigBad, a scene at the end of the credits shows that he's been repaired by [[AbsentMindedProfessor his creator]]. He appears to be simply robotic until the scientist leaves the room, and then he smirks and laughs evilly during the closing fade. If you're truly hardcore in dealing with this trope, another 29 minutes with "The End?" on screen will net you an extra "cryptic" credit and a blank screen. Another 5 minutes after ''that'' will give the final message, "It's Bill's fault," before resetting back to the title screen.
* Waiting for 10 minutes on the credits screen of ''[[VideoGame/ShiningForce Shining Force II]]'' takes you to a bonus battle where you fight all the boss characters.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' features different stingers for each of its MultipleEndings. In some of them, the hero's seen escaping the town [[spoiler:with the reborn Alessa/Cheryl, and with or without Cybil]]. In others, he's seen [[spoiler:lying dead in the jeep he wrecked at the beginning of the game]].
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/StarCraftI'', where if you wait long enough after the end of the first Terran mission briefing, it will say "END OF BRIEFING" ... "END OF BRIEFING (No really)" ... "CHINESE LEMON CHICKEN [with recipe]".
* In ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheLastHope'', assuming your RelationshipValues were high enough, and [[GuideDangIt you didn't miss certain events]], you're treated to a scene of [[spoiler: Faize [[NoOneShouldSurviveThat (Who was previously seen to have been sucked into a black hole)]] appearing by Lymle's side to place a flower in her hair]] following the credits.
* ''VideoGame/SunsetOverdrive'' has a double stinger. After a HeroicSacrifice and a fake-out credits roll, the [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth wall-breaking]] {{player character}} pesters the developers to [[AuthorsSavingThrow revise the ending]], then the TrueFinalBoss battle commences. Following the real credits, [[SequelHook FizzCo helicopter drones take off to deliver Overcharge around the world.]]
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** The end of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' has a scene showing a beat-up Larry Koopa managing to limp his way back home, with Bowser Jr. pointing him towards their siblings helping their father up from his shell. As they cheer on with their little victory, [[spoiler:their castle tips forward and crushes them, with the screen fading to black and Bowser groaning in pain.]]
** After the credits in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'', [[spoiler:Bowser Jr. is seen dragging Bowser, turns his head towards the player and says something, before continuing]] and fading out to black.
** If you beat Bowser at the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' with all 120 stars, then after the credits are over, we get to see Rosalina fly away to a different part of the galaxy, followed by a baby Luma climbing out of a damaged flying saucer.
** If you beat Bowser at the end of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' with all 120 stars, then after the credits, it's revealed that [[NarratorAllAlong the events of the entire game were actually part of a storybook Rosalina was telling to the Lumas]]. Once she is finished reading, she decides to tell said Lumas another story, which segues into the second phase of the game involving collecting the "Green Stars" (composing of the remaining 120 stars), which are required to access the game's ''true'' final level, [[spoiler:Grandmaster Galaxy.]]
** ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker'' has one of the Green Stars the titular character collects flying off after the credits, and he chases after it. [[spoiler:Then the intro to ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' is shown, unmodified except for Captain Toad jumping in after the four main heroes, revealing that [[StealthSequel it was a prequel all along]].]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' ends with a scene where [[spoiler:Count Bleck/Blumiere and Tippi/Timpani are shown to be alive and well standing in a meadow, finally allowed to be together.]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
** ''Brawl'', in its very first trailer from E3 2006; once the trailer ends, it's blank for a moment, then the INCOMING CALL sound from Metal Gear Solid plays, revealing the last Newcomer character to the series, Solid Snake. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8eUXiUKAc Here]]
** In a Nintendo Direct for the 3DS/Wii U installments, there's a video showing the return of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Charizard]] and the Newcomer [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Greninja]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:T]]
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'', earning the [[MultipleEndings best ending]] will show the stinger after the credits, where [[spoiler:Emil and Marta are reunited]], and Emil and Marta both earn a title for use in a NewGamePlus.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' ends with [[spoiler:Luke turning bright and disappearing during an act that is supposed to kill him]]. After you go through the credits, a rather heartwarming anime cutscene plays, revealing that [[spoiler:no, Luke didn't die- he simply merged with Asch, thus, apparently, no longer being a replica, but the original himself.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheTalosPrinciple'': [[spoiler:In the Tower Ascent ending, seemingly nothing is different if you choose to upload Milton (and you have the option to remark on that). After the credits roll, though, up pops the eye logo, with the same beeps the terminals used to get your attention]].
* Most of the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' "Meet the Team" shorts have a bonus scene after the game's logo and group photo is shown, and before the end-video logos and game info are shown:
** ''Meet the Soldier'': Soldier yells the last words of his speech to the severed head that fell off his fence.
** ''Meet the Scout'': Scout is eating a Sandvich, then the camera zooms out to reveal that it's Heavy's, and Heavy is laying on the ground, unconscious. (also, the base is now RED's)
** ''Meet the Sniper'': A continuation of the phone call scene from earlier, with Sniper telling his dad to put mom on the phone.
** ''Meet the Sandvich'': The action scene from ''Meet the Heavy'', only now Heavy is eating a Sandvich as everyone on BLU dies.
** ''Meet the Spy'': RED Spy picks up the photograph of him and Scout's Mom holding hands, says "Ah, my petite chou-fleur" [[note]]Translation: My little cauliflower[[/note]], and walks away, all while peaceful French music plays.
** ''Meet the Medic'': We hear Medic finishing his operation on Scout while the other RED classes wait in the waiting room. As he leaves the operating room, he has a yellow glow in his chest and yells "Oh-ho-ho-ho ''man'', you would not ''believe''...how much this hurts," followed by Archimedes cooing from within his body.
** ''Meet the Pyro'': Pyro walks into the sunset in Pyroland, but as the camera pans out into reality through a hole in Soldier's chest, we see buildings crumbling and the corpses of the BLU members that Pyro killed. Pyro then whistles very slowly as the screen fades to black.
* ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}} 2'', after "winning" the Tatsumaru missions. [[spoiler:SUZAKU IS ONIKAGE!]]
* In ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'', Dr. Watts is shown next to Rivers and Johnny's graves by the lighthouse, obviously thinking about something before Tommy and Sarah arrive with Dr. Rosalene. The two children leave and soon Eva gets a phone call for another patient. The two Doctors start to leave, only for [[spoiler: the screen to flash red for a second, like when they were insides Jonny's memories and he was getting closer to death. Dr. Watts notices and takes out a bottle of painkillers, gulps it down and glances around as if to make sure that no one saw before leaving. This implies one (or even both!) of two things: One, he's addicted to the painkillers or two... he's dying.]] It also has a SequelHook in the form of the game's title with a checkmark next to it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:U]]
* ''Undertow'' has a short scene after the credits where Captain Nemo, the boss of the 2nd chapter, comes back to life and shouts "These are MY waters!"
* ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'' has a lengthy [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue Where Are They Now Stinger]] split over multiple scenes after the credits.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:V]]
* ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' has voiced soliloquies by Lezard and Brahms - but you have to wait several minutes after the credits to hear them. Notably, the creepy, vague messages following the B ending [[GuideDangIt are the only indication to the player that what you thought was the]] GoldenEnding wasn't it at all, and that you're going to have to work harder next time. "Nothing is over yet," indeed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:W]]
* The credits of ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' has this in detailing the fallout from all the chaos caused throughout the game. [[spoiler: A major human traficking ring is brought down. The mayor of Chicago is found dead, with speculations of either suicide or assassination. Even after Aiden and Damien's final battle, Blume is still ready to go forward with a new version of ctOS. [=DedSec=] also declares war on Blume. One last stinger is in the end when it comes to tying up a loose end: Maurice Vega, the man responsible for killing Aiden's niece. You have one last choice: kill him, or spare him.]]
* ''[[VideoGame/WildArms1 Wild ARMs Alter Code F]]'' - after the animated sequences in the credits, the game picks up approximately a year after the final battle where all of the teammates from the game have gathered around [[spoiler:the broken body of Asgard the Earth Golem]].
* In the "Enhanced Edition" of ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2'', after about twenty minutes of credits the player is rewarded with a scene of [[spoiler:Nilfgaard beginning its invasion of the Northern Kingdoms]].
* After the credits in ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', [[spoiler: a helicopter is heard approaching.]]
* ''Wrestling/{{WWE}} [=SmackDown=]: Here Comes the Pain'' had one of these after sitting through the end credits, where you got a short, live-action video with John Cena rapping about the game.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:X]]
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' has ''two'' stingers, both of which [[GainaxEnding throw major curveballs on the plot]]. The first [[spoiler:shows Elma and a small team of Reclaimers checking on the data room of the Lifehold Core only to find the entire thing has been trashed since the landed on Mira, leaving them questioning how any of them are alive in the first place]]. The second [[spoiler:shows Lao, who had just died at the end of Chapter 12, lying on a beach somewhere and being approached by a mysterious figure who never appears anywhere else in the game. [[AllThereInTheManual The game's Japanese artbook]] seems to imply this is a character called The Black Knight.]] "[[TheEndOrIsIt This Story Never Truly Ends]]", indeed.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Y]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 0}}'': for the first time in the story, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima meet.
-->'''Majima''': ...Yo...'''''KIRYU-CHAN!!!'''''
* ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'':
** After the credits of the original game, the stork places Baby Mario and Baby Luigi on a doorstep of a mushroom-shaped house. It then cuts to the parents' hands holding them up as a slowed-down version of the Level Complete music from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' plays, with text reading, "Heroes are born! THE END" (Or "Our heroes are born!" if you're playing the Advance version). The game is then stuck at this screen forever unless you turn off or reset the SNES.
** In the end of ''New Island'', [[spoiler:Yoshi is seen rescuing Baby Luigi and the stork, again, as the stork delivers the Mario Bros back home again. After the credits, we see a similar ending to the first Yoshi's Island game, except the text says "Our heroes are born!...Again!". Finally, the mysterious Mr. Pipe is revealed to be the adult Mario from the future, as he disappears magically.]]
