No, because that was more of an 80s thing.

Castlevania 64 did that when playing on easy mode which really sucks. It ended at the castle center. I had a hard time in the final battle on normal mode.

I love Lord Jesus, Family Matters (for Steve & Laura which I typed up a beautiful alt from Just One Date episode) and FFIX (for Zidane & Garnet).

Street fighter 2 did this kinda. Wouldn't show the character ending for arcade mode. Iirc it would just say thanks for playing next time try on a harder difficulty.

Didn't cut the game early though

I have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that I never got past a certain level. I found out years later they designed it that way because they didn't finish programming it.

I don't remember many games like this. Star Fox 64 comes to mind as being a more "recent" example.

Bloodstained kind of did something like that, with an "ending" that very clearly indicated that you had more to do.

This. And even then it wasn't a common practice.

Why because I wasn't too good at the final battle or because easy mode ended early?

I remember when Touhou games used to do this, including 6 when the main antagonist just laughs at you and leaves if you play on Easy before reaching her (I think using a Coninue beforehand too, though you need to beat her without a Continue to reach the bonus stage as well). So you can't even beat the game and get the "bad" ending, let alone reach the bonus boss for the good ending.

Most Touhou games just have the Continue condition for the bonus stage.

Superman 64 did this, 100% not worth it.
Twisted Metal 2 stopped before the first boss if you played on easy.
Seemed more like an arcade thing to suck more quarters out of you. Surprised they haven't brought that back to help push MTX and pay-to-win.
