I just played through Blazing Star for the first time. Awesome game. Anyone else played through this one? The final boss has to be the weirdest boss I have ever seen in a videogame before. Does anyone know of a game (perhaps on the Neo?) that has a final boss that can top an infant with lazer breath and guns strapped on each arm? If there is a weirder boss out there I want to see it. eek!

I think Shito used to have a pic of a bizzare spider cat boss from some game or other in his sig.

That boss is double weird. Minimum.

I personally thought the last boss in Aero Fighters 2 was just stupid. I think he has the one in Blazing Star beat in the weird/out-of-place department...

In that hacked version of KOF2001, you have to fight a PLANET in space...

That last Blazing Star final boss is really "out there", and that opera-like music (which reminded me of the final boss music in Silent Scope) really puts it over the top.

You mean Nekogumo from Guwange.

I think Guwange-sama himself takes the cake. (If not be among the freakiest of bosses):

What the hell are they holding anyway? It looks like a sweaty deflated balloon made of cowhide.

I think the cat is weirder. The baby is more upsetting but for weird you've got to go with the spider cat.

Lol when I saw the topic of this thread the embryo/baby from Blazing Star came to mind instantly...first time I played and saw it I found it somewhat disturbing ,although Im not really sure why ?

It definitly takes the Strange boss award in my opinion.

Just played through Guwange. Whoa. That game is intense. The bosses are definitely weird as hell. Does anyone know the story behind this game?

One of those creatures that appear in a background (I forgot who's) but they're fun to watch.

Ahh, OK, I see it now. It looks clearer on the Arcadia cover than the cart cover.

It's one of the aliens who sing 'Bokura No Himitu'.

Got it, thanks.

BTW Did you check out the SF exhibition at Asobit City?

I think that in the japanese version of Streets of Rage 3, one of the bosses was a cross-dressing biker in high heels and stockings. I saw some pics on someones site. Needless to say when the game was localized he was taken out.

Odd? Yes.

But not even close to the mutant space baby in Blazing Star.

Yes, the space baby is freakishly wierd. Oh yeah, no doubt about it. I still think that its wierder than the other bosses due to how out of place it is. It's the only enemy on that game that is an organic life form ( or appears to be anyway ). Waku Waku 7 is a game full of strange characters, so the boss Fernandez isn't exactly a big shock. In Guwange you fight demons the whole game. So while the cat spider, and the final boss may be strange and somewhat disturbing, they fit into the game. The space baby at the end of blazing star is way out of place, even though you get a glimpse of it in the intro. I haven't seen the boss of aero fighters 2 yet so I can't comment on that one, but im working on it.
