7 Shocking Video Game President Cameos You Totally Missed
1. Platinum Games President Wants To Fight - NieR: Automata
And so to close this list, we're going to stretch the very definition of "President" in this sense by including a secret boss battle against the President of Platinum Games, Kenichi Sato.
I know right? making a promise at the beginning of the article and twisting the end result? who could have predicted that would happen in a political-themed piece of content! SHOCKING!
Still, that doesn't stop this boss battle from being one of the most meta and mind-melting ones out there. Nier: Automata is chock-full out outstanding encounters and fourth-wall-breaking moments, but upon speaking to an NPC and demanding to fight "him", you'll be warned that doing so will "break the immersion of the game". You can reply "immersion schmersion" and get dropped into a battle against the CEO of Square Enix and then the President of Platinum Games!
The conflict is brutally punishing, with the pair spamming all manner of projectiles and attacks at you, making for a true test of strength and skill.
While this president never made it into the Oval Office, he certainly will throw you out of an office window 40 stories up if you don't keep up your guard.
