Most of the games with great boss fights I think of right away were japanese.

>Einhander had great bosses

>Bayonetta bosses and enemies in general had really cool designs.

>Not even memeing, but Zelda series and the whole "puzzle format" of most bosses is done really well, both in 2d and 3d zeldas.

>Castlevania series has always had cool boss fights even if the way you approach them is usually the same. Its a player mastery thing.

>Monster Hunter series is really nothing but boss fights and is similar to Castlevania where its all pattern dodging, reactions and response rather than how you tackle it.

When I think of western shit I think of stuff like God of war or Prince of Persia. I'm not really into the former while the latter is more about exploration and environment than bosses. (Though the Dahaka in PoP2 when its chasing you was incredibly cool, though its hardly a boss)

I dunno, are there any other quality western games with bosses to break down? There's surprisingly little in the SNES/Gameboy Era for western games which is where I started.

>tfw WA2 happens in Trigun universe

That little hint /easter egg was cool
