14. Meta Ridley (Metroid Prime)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U-zoTfphFo When Retro Studios took the Metroid series into first-person, all those shouters and naysayers were completely silenced when fans realized what a truly magnificent game it actually was. And when it comes to boss fights, Retro certainly created one of the best in the form of Meta Ridley. If there's one thing that nearly everyone on this planet can agree is cool, it's dragons. What's perhaps cooler than that is fighting them in video games, and this confrontation in Metroid Prime lives up to that. And despite the fact that you're probably still in shock over Ridley's return after being defeated in Super Metroid, there's not much time for reunions as you've got to take him down. It's a fast-paced, furious battle that works so well because of the way Retro leaves Meta Ridley as a constant source of mystery. You never quite know where he is, leaving you at a consistent disadvantage that works perfectly for the battle.
