Blue Ribbon: 5 of the Best Final Bosses in SNES RPGs


I've decided to expand my "Blue Ribbon" series of posts to list specific elements of games in addition to games themselves. There are a lot of games that aren't necessarily my favorites as a whole, but do have elements or characters I am fascinated by. With this expansion of the format, I can honor some of the titles that I might otherwise gloss over. Today's category is the best final bosses in SNES RPGs.

Blue Ribbon: 5 of the Best NES RPGs


I'll go ahead and say it: all my favorite games are RPGs. And as a result, I know more about them than any other genre.

Regrettably, there aren't too many modern RPGs that I enjoy, so it seems like a good time to go back and reflect upon the RPGs of yesteryear and why they were so great. Here are my favorites from the Nintendo Entertainment System.
