  • A Winner is You is the thirty-seventh issue of the series.
  • Let's say you have been through this incredibly long and Nintendo Hard game in one sitting (because you can't save and don't have passwords), until you finally finish the game and defeat the last, incredibly hard boss. The moment of truth has come, you wait for the epic, satisfying ending and you get... "Conglaturation!" on a black background, in perfect silence, and nothing more (except maybe the credits). That's it? If you're really unlucky, it'll be the same Game Over screen you'd get for dying. And then, after three seconds, the title screen again. They could have at least spell-checked it.

abstract
  • Let's say you have been through this incredibly long and Nintendo Hard game in one sitting (because you can't save and don't have passwords), until you finally finish the game and defeat the last, incredibly hard boss. The moment of truth has come, you wait for the epic, satisfying ending and you get... "Conglaturation!" on a black background, in perfect silence, and nothing more (except maybe the credits). That's it? If you're really unlucky, it'll be the same Game Over screen you'd get for dying. And then, after three seconds, the title screen again. They could have at least spell-checked it. The urge to throw the game out the window is overwhelming, to say the least. This is most likely to happen with older fighter games, console ports of arcade games and the like. Cousin to (if not the most extreme form of) Bragging Rights Reward. Compare to No Ending for similar lack of satisfying or suddenly abrupt ending. See also Disappointing Last Level. Even worse is if you lose, this game gives you a Have a Nice Death or an It's a Wonderful Failure screen. In some games, this only happens on Easy mode. This can be a Heartwarming Moments if it is used in conjunction with a Happy Ending Montage. Unrelated to This Loser Is You.
