First of all, please don't take my thoughts on these games personal. I'm just having fun. Anything I end up liking, I hope you do too. Anything I don't end liking, I hope that you can get something out of that I can't.

Started with the this Contra Bosses video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd9hdjAG_ck

You know, from what I understand the OG Contra is a lot more popular than the SNES Contra 3: The Alien Wars, and if you can set your personal nostalgia aside, I really don't get it. For one, most of the bosses are really lame. 1/3 of them are weapons on a wall. Wheras almost all of the bosses in Contra 3 are these badass aliens that look so damn cool! That short intro before the game starts really should be iconic too, and it often ends up feeling like a really cool 80's sci-fi action movie.

DOn't get me wrong, I think both are fun, and I'll likely continue to play both several more times in my life, but Contra 3 really deserves to replayed a lot more. There's a reason I usually replay it 1 or 2 times a year, alongside TMNT 4, and Super Castlevania!

Also, this is my first time seeing Contra 4, and your character is just a blurry eyesore. Hate the artstyle in this so much. To be fair though, I don't really have much love for any nintendo era outside of the NES, SNES, and Switch era. A big part of which is the art style for most of the games that I've seen of these eras!

Contra Hard Corps I remember playing before, and yeah, I found it way too hard for me. Sure is fun to watch though, like a lot of genesis games, I really like the art style. Like how this at least tries to have a little more of a story, and you get to choose between 3 different characters.

You know what, maybe I should give it another shot sometime this year, and see if I can handle it now. Althought the fact that just boss sections are like a half hour suggests I might need to do it in 2 sittings for the sake of my attention span!

What other games have really fun bosses? Feel free to recommend any games or series from any era.

I really liked the final boss of Blaster Master Zero 3, even though it's not particularly showstopping...

It opens with the protagonists meeting up and you actually pick which of the two protagonists to side with and you fight them against the other one... Blaster Master Zero3 SOPHIA-J1 Vs. the original Metafight SOPHIA-3

And all the bosses in La-Mulana 1 and 2 are excellent...

Some Kingdom Hearts 2 spoilers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yQioUhk9E

This fight is absolutely incredible, and where it's placed it's like a test to make sure you actually understand the nitty gritty of the battle system. It's awesome. Plus the music is beautiful. Then after you beat the game, you can do an even harder version of this fight.

Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition - All Bosses (With Cutscenes) HD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB0L0GOBEiE

The Castlevania Boss video that someone recommended let to this. Love seeing videos that make extremely hard games look unbelievably easy. And wow, turns out that I didn't actually get that far in the game. I probably only fought like 7-10 of the 26 bosses!

Man the combat and atmosphere in this game are awesome. God it sucks that gatekeepers have made it so I'll never be able to find this series more fun than frustrating. Thank god Elden Ring helped with this quite a bit.

OG Contra and OG Life Force are still the best SHMUPS I can think of.

If you like boss battle videos - my kids absolutely love watching all of the Cuphead bosses.

I thought the final boss of DK: Jungle Climber was super hard even with the invincibility stars, but somehow this person beat it without using any.

That was really entertaining, thanks @MechaKirby

Again, would love to watch a really exciting boss fight series that covers the bosses in the FInal Fantasy games, same thing with the 2 sonic games!

Curse of the Moon

@an0nym0usrex Oh wow, a Classic-Vania, now we're talking...Is what I was really really hoping to say. I'm immediately reminded of what killed Ritual of the Night for me so quickly more than anything else. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that played the older Castlevania games.

What's the best thing about Symphony of the Night and the NES and SNES Castlevanias that elevated it above something that was just really really fun and made it feel like this great emotional experience that said things that words could not? That's right, it was the fucking soundtrack! Meanwhile the one in the Bloodstained games feel completely phoned in. The kickstarter was a massive success, for the love of god, why couldn't they find and hire a good composer? Jesus!

The optional bosses in Control are some of the coolest, and most fun, fights I've ever seen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzFi1_DSarU&list=PLobwFu_SShYpawhy4ev_sYhmuOg2Ytl9h&index=3

This was pretty exciting. Very very immersive, r-rated cinematic experience, while not feeling like it had to cut a billion corners to satisfy its producers.
