I would say two of them come from the arcade world of Konami:
1) Sentinels WORKING FOR Magneto, who is a MUTANT.
2) Burns and Smithers being card-carrying villains, even moreso than they would appear to be later on. I mean, stealing diamonds? Kidnapping? Trying to KILL all the Simpsons?
3) There's also the DKJr. Mario heel turn, but you can say the story was being seen through the Kongs' eyes.

Guile has two moves of doom... Bison insults Chun-Li's dead father, and she gets dragged all over the place as she hangs onto the casket her father's body is in.

I might be alone on this, but as someone who hadn't played Ico, I felt pretty Russo swerved by the end of Shadow of the Colossus.

Metal Gear Solid 2 could have been booked by Russo without many changes. "Ok, so you're expecting to play as Solid Snake for the whole game. SWERVE, now you're Raiden." "Getting used to Raiden? Think things are straightforward? Bam, AIs everywhere, and now there's a Japanese woman where your radar should be." And then the game ends with a flag falling off a pole.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time had a Russotastic swerve. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Your characters and indeed our entire universee are video game characters in an MMO type game for the 4D universe.

Saints Rows 3 and 4 were pretty Russo-tastic. Especially 4. That whole game was one giant swerve, and it was beautiful.

The Olympic committee telling Sonic not to run too far ahead on the track, so as to disguise Mario's limitations. Hadn't really thought about it before, but those games do kinda fall apart when you consider that every single Sonic universe character could leave Mario and co. in their dust.

The burial of Luigi post Super Mario World up until Luigi's Mansion.
Mario held his brother back from competing in RPG, 64 and Paper Mario.

The Olympic committee telling Sonic not to run too far ahead on the track, so as to disguise Mario's limitations. It was quid pro quo for being able to wear swimmies in the friggin Olympics.

These aren't the official Olympics though. They're the "test to make sure everything is ready for the humans" Olympics. Plus there's the dream events.
