Nobody commits suicide in the movie, but since IT (2017) is based on the novel of the same name, IT: Chapter Two (2019) will likely feature a scene where Stan kills himself.

It's not technically suicide, but there is a discussion in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) about how two parents willingly sacrificed themselves in the past to be murdered in order to save their son. The mother's death is shown on-screen in a flashback.

No, though a character shows signs of depression and what could be read as suicide ideation (i.e. by trying to sacrifice themselves needlessly)

A character does accidentally shoot himself in the head, but the scene is at night in the dark and it’s not on purpose.

no, but someone contemplates it in pretty realistic detail, and as someone who suffers from suicidal ideation, it did trigger me to the point where i had to take sedative medication to calm down and not hurt myself.

Animal crossing is a game with little to no storyline, and is (overall) kid friendly.

There is a plot point/major story element that can be construed as a metaphor for suicide, but (spoilers!) it fails at the very end.

A character’s parent is said to have “not been able to take it anymore,” but it’s unclear whether this means the parent left or if the parent committed suicide. No other mentions of suicide are present.
