Funny, as soon as I saw the thread title, that was the first game I thought of.

Looking back, I see that first boss as just as a warning for the extremely steep learning curve that game has.

I thought metroid prime hunters on ds had a pretty tough first boss--that piller of death-lasers thing. That was pretty much uncalled for as an "I'm still trying to figure out how to control my character" boss. I haven't passed it.

other than that, pick any snk fighting game. there's usually only one real boss fight, but you can bet he will cheap you worse than 'player two' ever could. Try and find characters that can jump off the top of the screen or you are dead.

The Sonic game for the DS had a hard first boss.
Your kidding, right? I beat it on my first try!
I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...

This is a Treasure game that never made it to the US and I can see why. I can't even get past the second mini-boss!
Yes but thats what makes Treasure games so damn good! I can't think of one Treasure game thats easy. There all Shoot-'em-ups I believe.
I'm trying to mine enough coin to get Treasure's Radiant Silvergun on Saturn. ~$200, but it's worth it.

Yeah I've been trying to "Obtain" it in various other ways and they've all failed. For some reason they won't run/have missing files. I really want to Buy Ikaruga for my Dreamcast.
Meh... So I don't post much?

Fighting the Ring Wraith in LotR: The Two Towers sucked, but I think its the fact that the controls, attacks, and basically everything about that game was just garbage.
Regardless, I didn't try a second time, I just gave the game back to my friend.

"obtaining" a working copy of radiant silver gun is easy. Sonic 2 on the game gear has the hardest fist boss., i have yet to beat him.

Yes I have one for MAME, but my pc plays it horribly choppy, and it's not the same anyways. I want to play it on Saturn.

It's not the first boss but it's close to the beginning. Metroid Prime 2 the boost guardian is a very very hard boss.

or when it autosaves and you have like 15 health left before a power armor in FEAR.
Just happened to me yesterday! :lol:

I hate how it auto saves when you jump off the helicopter because your stuck for about five seconds with 4 or 5 enemies shooting at you. Then theres them damn invisible guys.
