Are there any final bosses who are good guys?

The 'final boss' of The Witcher 2 doesn't strike me as a bad guy.

The bosses in Dungeon Keeper.

I love Pokken!
Came here for The Boss, OP already got that covered.
Well i think
from Dark Souls may be one. But YMMV.

Arguably Warcraft III: Frozen Throne and Brood War. You end both games playing the bad guy on a murderous rampage.

In DMC3 and DmC, I suppose you could consider
"less bad" compared to others in those games. I wouldn't necessarily call him a good guy, though.
Vergil

That happens in a recent console FPS too. Forget which one though.
Pokémon, arguably. The Champions of the different Elite Fours are not bad per se. They are just good trainers who happen to fight you. And if they don't count, Red in Pokémon GSC surely does.
Also, Braid.

Edit: Completely forgot about it, even though I'm totally obsessing over it right now. The Binding of Isaac. The true last boss is

If I remember correctly, Vergil turns out to be pretty bad. It's been a while though, so maybe I'm wrong.
DMC3 Vergil is a fairly solid answer I think. Right before the final Dante/Vergil fight, they team up to kill the real villain of the game. Vergil is more of an anti-hero than good guy though.
DmC has an awkward "he was actually bad the whole time" thing that turns him into the final boss. It's forced as hell and kind of ruins Vergil in that game.

Well, I feel like it's impossible to post anything in this thread without spoiling someone indirectly.
Like, even if I were to just post the title of a game, the thread being what it's about immediately tells you something about the ending of the game.
That disclaimer out of the way, PS2 JRPG spoiler below:

Shadow Hearts Covenant. Kato and Yuri were totally bros by the end. "You think big!"

Witcher 2 spoilers:
Both Saskia/the dragon and Letho can be considered good guys. Saskia is a downright saint when you compare her to the average person inhabiting the Witcher universe and regarding Letho - well, I might not consider him a good person, but he's definitely not bad/evil; more like an anti-villain/anti-hero.

The final boss in
was a good guy for most of the game, until he just stops being part of your party with no explanation and you don't see him at all until you fight him.

In the DLC for Star Wars Force Unleashed 2, you kill
I don't recall who the FINAL boss was, but the above were definitely boss battles.
Han Solo, Chewbacca, Leia, and a bunch of Ewoks.

The last boss in Tales of Vesperia, kind of.
one of my favorite final encounters
Well Letho isn't bad, but he isn't definitely a good guy too.. he is a neutral, gray character
I'd assume a thread talking about final bosses would be a spoiler thread

These two:
Saturos and Menardi from Golden Sun. Born and bred heroes they are, just a bit lacking in the PR department.

Pretty much all of them except for Red/Blue/Yellow where you face off against Blue, and Black/White where you face off against Ghetsis at the end.

But he makes sense. He makes a lot of good points in a world that is very bad, and Geralt himself is not all sunshine and rainbows.
Letho is Garalts superior at every turn, at every twist, and that is what makes him such an appealing antagonist. I couldn't do it. I couldn't fight him, the first time I faced him, and I loved that the game had consequences and an ending that reflected that genuine emotional response I had to the truths that had been laid before me.

Gwynn, either. Though it depends on your perspective.
