Yeah, the DKC series has lots of them. I still remember the sound they make; it sounds like someone winding up a top three times. I'm also pretty sure there is an octopus boss in the new Donkey Kong Country Returns, although I haven't gotten that far yet.
Also, although I'm not positive on it, there are probably octopi in both Endless Ocean games and Aquanaut's Holiday on PS1. I guess we can also include the original Octopus Game & Watch, which they re-released on one of the Club Nintendo Game & Watch collections for DS.
BTW, there is no octopus cooler than launch octopus. He is the f*cking man.
Edit: I was so curious, I found some more. Apparently the Legend of the Mystical Ninja has one and Mohawk and Headphone jack has one on the bloody cover. Go figure. Too bad I will never play that game long enough to see it.

No, I'm Mr. Big Lucky Flavor!
What, you didn't believe me?
If you're including Krakens in this (and why shouldn't you? Krakens are just a more awesome octopus :P) you can add Shining Force II and Shining Force III Scenario 2.
Azure Dreams has Octopi and Krakens!
I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!
One of the 'ships' you can use in the Parodius games is an octopus!

Surprised no one's mentioned good ol' Game & Watch OCTOPUS.
The Goonies for the C64 / Atari 800
Do Octopus statues count?
Yes, sir, they sure do.Do Octopus statues count?
Dragon Warrior series. King Squid, Squid Kid, Tentacular, etc. Also, the first one that popped into my head was Ultros from FF6, but it was already mentioned...one of Relm's few shining moments in the game, hahahaha.
Also Goonies II on NES
There's the grossly pixelated octopus in El Viento:
Sonic 2, Oil Ocean Zone.

Not sure if this is totally relevant to the original post, but in the upcoming Saints Row The Third, there is a bazooka that fires off octopi. They attach to people's heads and mind control them into fighting for you, and I think will also explode after awhile or by trigger or something.
Just last night, I found a giant octopus in Kirby's Return to Dreamland in level 3-3. I am fairly certain it was an octopus and not a squid. As far as the cousins of octopus go, there is the Squishy character in the Kirby series.
Its actually an IKA ( Squid ) not a TAKO ( Octopus )
Octopus Characters you can find in almost every Konami Game ( Parodius, Gradius, Goemon, Wai Wai world, etc ) due its one of the cute "characters" you can see in Japan on every kids scribblebook./ schoolpaintings or even signs in the city. In Europe they paint bunnys, mouse and dogs - in Japan Squids, octopus cats and piggys.
Donkey Kong for the Gameboy has an octopus- a really annoying octopus.
Just found an octopus in Super Mario Land for the Gameboy in level 2-3.
Mega Turrican has something similar for a boss although it does not have 8 tentacles.
You can also add King's Field: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ibG-XnUUAU
Mega Turrican on Genesis, Octopus boss!

EDIT: Aw man someone beat me to it!
Just found another to throw onto the pile. This is from Saiyuuki World 2- Tenjoukai no Majin, the Famicom version of Whomp 'Em.
