drbunnig said: I'm quite partial to 2D games in this regard myself. Sonic, Castlevania, Yoshi, Donkey Kong Country... all have great bosses. Think I'll opt for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door though. Many memorable characters, and great fun to fight them. |
Oh yeah, good call. Castlevania and DKC have some excellent bosses.
I'd say Death from Castlevania is up there as one of best recurring bosses.
I think the first Kingdom Hearts has excellent bosses. I can't think of one that is actually bad or even mediocre. Well, except for Rock Titan. That thing is the most disappointing boss I've ever faced xD
The World Ends With You also has very memorable boss fights. Shovel Knight and Cuphead also come to mind.
Ys was my gut reaction response. After that, I think of FF, Souls, and God of War as having fantastic boss fights.

Oh Ys is a great choice!
I know this is all opinion, but I don't know how Souls isn't dominating. My mind immediately went there as the obvious answer.

Mgs3 probably takes it for me as well. Though I must say god of war 2 and 3 are right up there and ascension has my favorite final boss of the series.
The Hercules battle in god of war 3 is probably my favorite all time, but mgs3 has the diversity without getting too gimmicky like the psycho mantis controller switching. It’s all just different strategies with elements you know from the game already. The end is awesome for the strategy and patience and the boss requires some crazy moves too along with making you pull the trigger at the end for the emotional gut punch. Can’t forget volgin either. That mother fucker just wouldn’t die! I remember crying out when he got out of the shagohod and powered it up “OH COME ON!” But man it made it satisfying when he finally died

Why would you say god of war 3 specifically?

God of War II is definitely up there for me also.
Agreed on all the MGS3 stuff, too. Each battle focuses on its own strategies, mechanics, and themes -- I love that :)
