Breaking down what makes a Nintendo boss fight special
Warning: spoilers ahead
Boss battles are important. They represent the culmination of a game’s story and all the mechanics the player has learned throughout the adventure. Nintendo is no stranger to using boss fights to serve as both tests of player progression and to end games with a bang. However, what is it that makes Nintendo’s boss fights so compelling? Whether it’s the build-up to the fight, tried and true mechanics like the “Rule of Three,” or even a fantastic presentation, Nintendo’s boss fights can often represent some of the best moments of its games. While not all examples of Nintendo bosses are consistently fantastic, most of them are memorable, and it’s not hard to understand why.
