About Me
Name: Mike "Savant" Ferry
Location: Bethlehem, PA
Age: 25
Zodiac Sign: Virgo

I am a former Associate Editor of Destructoid who became INTERNET FAMOUS (er, not really...) for my weekly column entitled "Miniboss Monday." You might've heard of it. It was kind of a big deal. Anyway, I've since moved on to becoming a lurker and playing my fair share of games in the meantime. Oh, and I wear a kilt, love retro video games, and drink a lot of beer. That pretty much sums me up.

Miniboss Monday returns this Monday!
Savant | 9:00 AM on 09.12.2007 15 comments


For those of you who didn't know Miniboss Monday was a mini-feature of my own that only had one installment. The second installment was posted, however, it was completely blank due to an error that occurred during the publishing process. Since then, I've not picked up the pen (or keyboard, if you will) to write any more.

Well, I am glad to announce its triumphant return this Monday. Each Monday thereafter (life allowing) I will profile more and more of the memorable/unique/prolific minibosses in gaming that we love to hate and hate to love.

If you have any suggestions for future installments, feel free to post them here, as well!

Awesome! I loved the idea for this feature. My pick is Kraid, who got gyped out of being in Prime (and you can even find pics of how he would have looked in the game floating around the nets).

Right on, there is nothing more romantic than a miniboss fight. Can't wait to see what you got.

That eragon in Mega Man 2! The one you had to fight while standin on 3 pegs! He isn't considered a boss, is he?

You doing this during my work shift...I'm watching you Mike.

Oh wait, if I can post on message boards during work I guess I should let you as well.

Nice feature. I'm excited to see what you bring to the table.

A suggestion: In Zelda II: Link's Adventure, the second-to-last boss... that flying bird crazy thing that made you cast I think 3 spells just to be able to fight him, which also resulted in you not being able to heal yourself during the battle.

As a young person, I never got past this guy and did not beat the game until after Windwaker came out.

@Kyle

Thunderbird was the boss. You had to cast Thunder, Jump, and Shield.

Minibosses? Hmm... Would the Hunter-chopper from Half Life 2 count, or is that a full fledged boss?
