"If you were someone who believed that the wii couldn’t replicate intense boss fights the same way a normal console could. . . ."
I mean. . . . .it technically couldn’t, it’s visuals were capped at 480p IF you bought the upgraded cables for the console. That was the genius of the handful of really good wii title’s, showing gameplay easily overshadowed pretty pixels.
I would’ve put Omega from Megaman Zero 3 on here. I mean, Zero fighting his own body which is nothing but a puppet now? I’m honestly a bit surprised he wasn’t on here.
How was KH’s Sephiroth not even an honorable mention?!
Specter from Ape Escape 2, took me weeks
No Kingdom Hearts or Pokémon?!
My top Video Game Boss Fights from the 2000’s
BioLizard (Sonic Adventure 2)- challenging boss as expected as being one of the last bosses of the game but fun with practice and mastery and to top it off everybody’s favorite edge lord black hedgehog fights the boss
Big Smoke (Grand Theft Auto San Andreas)- all in the name of fame for this boss and a tragic story on why he betrayed CJ
Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess)- one of if not THE most epic Ganon/Ganondorf boss fight in all of Zelda History plus a stab in Ganondorf’s heart from Link’s Master Sword makes it even more epic
Ares was actually almost easy to beat, thanks to the attack "the Army of Hades." The monster that almost made me afraid to go into the water was the shrieking eel from the movie "The Princess Bride."
How can you reference Sonic and not have one boss on the list ?
Meta Ridley was dope too
Amazing
No mention of the Lich King from WoW?
Big smoke deserved an honorable mention
Pretty cool that they made a Starbomb reference in this video
Pretty much every boss from Demon Souls. Arkham asylum. Seymour from Final Fantasy 10
oh yea. damn Vergil… on hardest mode he does Moves he dont do in Easy. im sure died more then in any Dark Souls game haha
Nothing from Ninja Gaiden?
I never saw Dr Nedarious as a bumbling idiot. He accomplished many of his goals in his first game while still being threatening and hilarious
To go back to 2001 and play Conker’s Bad Fur Day for the first time again as a young kid…
I have played few of these games. Its pure epic.
No Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising 😢

Where in the freaking hell is Evrae (or any other significant boss) from Final Fantasy X?! One of the best games ever.
Not a great list.
No Arkham Asylum bosses nor Metal Gear bosses is absolutely criminal.
*Best console video game bosses. Didn’t mention any PC games????
What about Arthas The Lich King!!!
some of my favorites not mentioned:
Hag-1 ( Banjo-Tooie )
Pious Agustus ( Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem )
SA-X ( Metroid Fusion )
Quadraxis ( Metroid Prime 2: Echoes )
Aparoid Queen ( Star Fox Assault )
Darkside ( Kingdom Hearts )
Xemnas ( Kingdom Hearts II )
Solidus Snake ( Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty )
The End ( Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater )
Ganondorf ( Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker )
Masked Man ( Mother 3 )
Goji Rokkaku/Golden Rhinos from Jet Set Radio was my boss from the 2000s! 👌
Where is Pinwheel, from Dark Souls
Now I want the greatest boss fights from 2010s with Photoshop Flowey in there!
I’m surprised that not all 10 positions are taken by Bowser.
Whelp, I guess dread is still to early to get any entry’s. Raven beak most notably
Also no hollow knight entry with either absolute radiance or nightmare king Grimm? Strange
Portal series was missed with GLaDOS for portal 1 and Wheatley for portal 2
(Pokémon technique has no boss, so Cynthia doesn’t count)
Tabuu from smash bros melee could easily replace giga bowser
Just a few thoughts of mine
For me it’s a tie between Hades from God of War 3 and that ice giant fight in TW3
Silf from darks souls get a shout out as well 💯
More honourable mentions (Spoiler free)
– The Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3)
– Braska’s Final Aeon (Final Fantasy X)
– Xemnas (Kingdom Hearts 2)
– The Final Hazard (Sonic Adventure 2)
– Champion Cynthia (Pokémon Diamond & Pearl)
– Ashnard (Fire Emblem Path of Radiance)
– Dhoulmagus (Dragon Quest VIII)
Not a single MGS boss?!?! The End, anyone?! Cmon watchmojo!
Cool list.
Ok actually where the actual fuck was Cynthia and her Garchomp on this list???
Vergil: "Might control everything and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself."
For number 10, phrasing.
The End from MGS3 is No. 1 for me.
Onaga the Dragon King – Mortal Kombat Deception (2004)
Beating the OG God of War on the hardest difficulty is easily one of my biggest gaming achievements.
No Demon’s Souls, No Metal Gear Solid 3 seriously wtf
Giga Bowser (Melee)
Bonetail (Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door)
Glados (Portal)
The End (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)
Dark Samus (Metroid Prime 2)
Vergil no 1 let’s go
Fighting Vergil on Dante must die on Dmc3 scarred my soul.
I absolutely LOVED Luigis Mansion man that game was a huge part of my childhood and some of the best memories I have with my mom when we would play it together
Dmc 3 needs a remake
Any boss from God Hand
Henry from No More Heroes
Ratchet 3 even today is one of my favourite games ever I’d say. That and despite the qtes especially towards the end god of war 2 along with gow 1 and dmc 3. Just brilliantly done and really well balanced overall. Even today the ps2s still my favourite console.
