You've got to be joking about Alex Mercer. One of the worst bosses in recent gaming.
I really like TWETY and it's last boss battle. The fact that you are all by yourself, rather than your partner, and how grand it seems. The monster dragon thing is huge, it fills up the screens, and it's constantly attacking you.
I loved it.
My vote. It's The End boss fight from MGS3 combined with his alternate boss fight.Originally Posted by Shattered Dreamer
... in a snowstorm.
I beat this fight without any alerts and it was far and away the most intense stealth experience in the series to date.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land's final boss is definitely is mine currently.
The final boss itself is a big plot twist, especially considering the build up, the music is nostalgic and epic, the boss' attacks are really neat (especially the drawing attack), and the otherworldly atmosphere is breathtaking.
I came in here thinking that I was pretty convinced I knew best and wouldn't have my opinion swayed, but I've seen one or two that I'd add to my list!
My initial thought was for the Meta-Ridley battle in the original Metroid Prime. It's not the toughtest boss battle ever, but it's great fun. I loved diving for cover and shoot at it while Ridley swooped down. It also had some pretty rockin' music. Having said that, a lot of the boss battles in Metroid Prime were great.
The final boss battle of the original Shadow Hearts was also pretty great. Being transported into freakin' space to fight God!
One of the ones that stood out in this thread was the final two bosses of Sonic 2, which to this day I find to be a bit of a nightmare (Metal Sonic less so than the Robotnik one).
The Phalanx and Crow-thing bosses from SotC were my favourites. I want to highlight them because they are amazing.
Yeah Phalanx is an absolutely mindblowing boss.
Baby Panay- Just Cause2
A boss fight while riding atomic bombs. Top that.
Red- Pokemon silver/ gold

The final boss of ratchet and clank 3: Dr. Nefarious.
My view will be done from fighting him with little to no armor.
Now, Dr. Nefarious is an amazing final boss. He pulls no punches, and with no armor he can easily 1 hit kill you (2 if you're lucky).
He's very fast paced, and tests you on all the dodging and quick selecting skills you've been working on up to the games conclusion. Even if you just cheese him with good armor, the shield charger, and the overpowered weapons in the game he'll still give one valiant fight back. He's easily one of my favorite bosses of all time.
Final boss of Dark Souls: Gwyn
Now, if you give this guy a completely fair fight, he is a nightmare. He's the most aggressive enemy I've ever fought, and in a game like Dark Souls, that says a LOT. He hits like a truck, he hits as fast as a tiger. He, like Dr. Nefarious, tests everything you've done in the entire game. If you have a low stability shield, have fun dodging six hits in a row all with less than a second delay in between (no, trust me, it's fun).
Almost all the bosses in dark souls could be talked about with the same praise, but Gwyn encompasses nearly everything the other bosses threw at you, and being an absolute nightmare for both the over-prepared and the unprepared. I love this guy, and next time you fight him, try it without parries OR a shield (with light weight roll or Dark Wood Ring of course), it's a totally different experience.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>>> Xenoblade - the battle with Xord at the Ether Mine was pretty wicked..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
