Burai Fighter (NES) probably deserves a mention here. The game is hard as nails most of the time but the last boss is an endurance fight against a giant dragon whose only weak spot is an eye that's just a few pixels wide. I can't even reach the last stage these days but as a kid I remember playing this fight for 10-15 minute stretches. I must have hit him dozens of times, even fully powered up, and I *still* lost. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks for posting this. I actually should finish that game now.

Sturm from Advanced Wars
Goddamn that last level was hard.
Nameless King isn't required.Really? I thought the consensus was that Nameless King was the hardest?
Oh hmm yeah I kinda forgot about L&L, lol. Weird because I sure retried them often.Nameless King isn't required to beat the game though. But I thought The Twin Princes were a tad harder than the final boss.
FF13. It was BULLSHIT!!!
No More Heroes 2 - Jasper Batt Jr.
Hardest Final Boss fight I had in my life. Burn in hell Jasper.No More Heroes 2 - Jasper Batt Jr.
I had that game on Game Boy, and yeah, so incredibly hard. I don't think I ever managed to get past stage 2 or 3. Is the NES version harder?
Huh....I felt the fight with the first games protag was harder as you are basically robot Goku by the time you get to Noman......Zone of the enders 2
Fucking Noman
Drakengard 3 is impossible to beat on your first try unless you're psychic or insane
Cloud of Darkness in Final Fantasy 3.
The battle took an insane jump in difficulty. Good luck getting through that without the right jobs.

Jinpachi in Tekken 5 was the first Tekken final boss that was actually hard.
(I don't know about Tekken 6 and TTT2 though)
FF13. It was BULLSHIT!!!
Doom (2016)
The Egg is the hardest boss in that game, even if you include optional bosses."The Egg" Saga Frontier II.
Fuck this thing
Hiruko is the hardest boss of all bosses from any game.Shinobi PS2.
Mem Aleph is Strange Journey's Neutral Path is the one that immediately jumps to mind. The entire fight like triage, reviving demons and hoping to survive the turn so you can get some hits in. Pretty much every attack could wipe out the party.
Fuck Nightmare difficulty dark fact and his bullet hell disappearing platform bullshit.Ys 1

Persona 2: Innocent Sin(PS1). It's ten times harder than anything else in the game.
Come to think of it, same can be said of Persona 1(PS1).
