I figured there may be some GFX-ASM combo that could make it but I want to confirm my suspision, more or less all I want to know is if it's possible to get the Boss's name and health bar to appear when you fight it (Sorta like the Prime Series and the rest of the 3D Metroid games) and how one would best go about making one.
Thanks in advance!

Possible?  Yes, but you'd need lots and lots of ASM.
2 easiest methods I can think of:
1) Hijack the HUD routine and have it draw some extra stuffs on the screen.
2) Custom enemy that doesn't interact with Samus (hard part would be getting it to stay in one place on the screen at all times during the fight).

Stupid Media Player won't open the clip...

Yup.  I've not found anything it can't open, especially after the (relatively) recent update.  Failing that, Media Player Classic works wonders too.
