so - we always talk about favourite games, but never really characters or genres or such blah blah... so what video game bosses were pretty memorable for you? This topic came to me last night when i was fighting Dark Dragon in Shining Force - a stellar battle indeed.
Shining Force - Dark Dragon Shining Force II - The Kraken Landstalker - Mir Final Fantasy - KEFKA!! Contra - NES inside the alien fighting the heart, one of the first bosses i ever saw
Legend of Zelda - Ganon Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Ganondorf/Ganon Mario 64 - Boswer Phantasy Star 4 - The eternal Darkness Street Fighter II - Vega (known as M.Bison in the states)

He was known as M.Bison here too (UK).
Vega is the guy with the mask and the claw... and the skyhigh annoyance level.

i didn't like Ganon in Zelda (be it Ocarina Of Time or Wind Waker).... in OOT the camera was problematic... in Wind Waker it was ok, but a bit annoying at times (the 3rd form of 'Alter Ganon', the speeding snake you have to shoot in the tail) was mostly shooting at random for me!

i definetly agree with on the metal gear part. on sons of liberty, when you fight all the rays....holy shit....i mean holy shit. no boss is as fun to fight as they are. metal hear one had some cool bosses. fighting raven with the nikita in the freezer was definetly awesome. theres so many in metal gear. i have all the silent hill games and one is still my favorite. ive beaten it 7 times. i have the katana, rock drill, and chainsaw. i own that game. i want to figure out how to use the flauros stone, though. ive read a lot of different things on it, but im still unsure of its purpose. i beat silent hill 3 in 2 days. my game play time was 5 hours. it was a little to easy but i haven't beaten on 'extra new game' mode yet so maybe thats where the surprises are. man i gotta get it back from my friend today...

the flauros must be used at five different locations - it is used to gain some sort of raygun of sorts - you need it to gain the secret fifth ending, which is basically just a humorous bonus for those who think they've gotten everything in the game. i don't remember the five spots, but i'm sure you can find out about them online.
my fave ending for sh2 was the rebirth - so cool. and yes, fighting all those rays in mgs2 was fucking badass.

sadly i never got to the end - that game's predecessor is THE definition of first-person shooters though. seriously, if you look in a dictionary, and look up FPS, you'll see a pic from wolfenstein. =D

i'm actually not much of an FPS fan really, but i do respect any game that really defines or redefines a genre. so many games used wolfenstein's style that it's cliche to me now. few developers make an FPS that's worth a crap these days other than ID or Valve.

yes - i own soul calibur 2 on gamecube - and i am highly enjoying it. i'm only missing one character (lizardman) and about 11 of the goofy weapons (the ones that make the sound effects)
thank god namco didn't fuck it up like they did tekken 4.
sadly, i'm not enjoying it as much as i could be, because i have few friends, and those i do have usually don't want me around - which doesn't bother me.

I think the most rewarding boss fight I ever had was in Super Mario 3, when Bowser crashed through the brick floor... man, I was euphoric!
I also loved that huge walking Robotik at the end of Sonic 2... my favorite Sonic game ever.
And whoever said Flashman, good call. I always loved fighting him... made me feel really powerful. Blam blam blam dead.
