10 Boss Fights That Stopped Video Games Being Perfect

10. Aurora Unit 1313 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The Metroid Prime games are consistently praised for their stunning visuals, eerie atmosphere, fluid gameplay, and gorgeous score.

But these first-person shooters also received a fair amount of adoration for their glorious bosses. Not only do the games have a vast array of creative bosses, each title concludes with an epic brawl. The titular character of Metroid Prime is among the best bosses ever. Fighting Samus Aran's evil twin, Dark Samus, in the climax of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was a huge moment for any fan of the series.

So, when it was announced Metroid Prime 3: Corruption would conclude the trilogy (at least, for the time being), fans expected the showdown to be one for the ages.

Instead, the last encounter is against... a robot tentacle thingy. This enemy is so forgettable, most Metroid fans can't remember its name, appearance, origin, or fighting pattern.

What's more frustrating is this problem could've been easily fixed. Instead of battling... whatever the hell this is, the final boss should've been Ridley, who Samus fought earlier in the game. Considering this cybernetic pterosaur killed Samus' parents, it would've made more sense for Ridley to serve as the Corruption's final antagonist rather than some random machine.
