I like games that have a celebration for you. I don't know why more games don't do this. So many games have a story where you are a hero who single-handedly saves the entire world/universe and you just get an explosion and a credit roll. I swear, all these whiny bitches that sent me on side quests and I can't even get a thank you and a pat on the back? Damn! I want confetti, streamers, a parade, a sculpture made in my honor. Post haste! Is that really too much to ask of the man that saved the galaxy and still found time to track down your sisters lost ring in some cave full of vampire bats?

I also like when the credits have little scenes from each of the levels or pictures of the various characters. It's a nice wrap up and reminder of all the stuff you did and people you met on your adventure.

My favourite are games that let you wander around the game world after you've saved the day and talk to all the characters. It's very self serving, but satisfying.

Earthbound did that very well. You were free to wander the world and talk to everyone until you got bored and took Paula home, and then you went home yourself.
