A few weeks ago, we had a collective epiphany as we all realized that Legacy Of Goku 1 was not the game we imagined from our childhood. That brings us to Legacy Of Goku 2. THIS IS IT. THIS is the one!

Legacy of Goku II and Buu’s Fury are genuinely some of my favorite games ever. Countless hours playing through them on my GBA as a kid and playing through them again as an adult is just as fun.
I always play those and the megaman battle network games. Not to mention the two pokemon spinoffs xd and colosseum.
I just played through them again about 3 years ago and it was a really fun experience. Definitely recommend to anyone that has or hasn’t played them before
@@TheVisualParadox Pokémon Xd and coliseum are the best console Pokémon games ever released
Really wish they would bring that series back. Shadow Pokémon were so cool
I've never played L.O.G. 2 until the last several weeks, and it's absolutely amazing.
@@TheVisualParadoxHoly crap XD and Colosseum ARE NOT cheap.
This game was a classic. I hope Matty makes a video on Buu's Fury at some point, that one was probably my most played gba game as a kid
I remember playing it on my little backlit Gameboy Micro on the floor of my living room, big-ass tube TV on a short table and in my own world. I still have the copy of Buu's Fury wherever my 2DS went...
Why not legacy of goku 3?
Yeah used to grind those sweet, sweet levels during recess hours in school
@@annedrieck7316 I can't tell if you're joking or not, but buu's fury is legacy of goku 3
Having the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack made it so good. Same for Buu's Fury. Definitely a great product of its time.
Except Bruce only made 7 songs the others were made by people he removed from his website
@@HistoryandReviews Why did Brucey do that to them?
@@jiayouchinese $$$$$$$
So many memories of this game. I love ever single bit about it. Even the filler. Legacy of Goku 2 is definitely a "near perfect" game.
Mass Effect 2 level of refinement for sure. Put way too many hours into this game lol
The only issue with the game was the dinosaur egg hunt 😐😐
@@NettechZelkova yes!! Seriously the worst. I had all my characters maxed out on level 59 by the time I finally beat it
I agree I think I beat it a few times
Dear god. I remember gamesharking that out of anger.
I'd love to meet the guy who decided that carrying eggs down a mountain without getting hit once was fun.
While log2 is infinitely better than log, the enemies can hit you faster than you hit them. They don't really need to get too close. I found it lazy as hell.
I picked up LoG2 after my dad had a brain anyurism, had to spend tons of time in the hospital for several months. This game as good as it is, helped me thru that time, this game will always have a special place in my heart as 1 of the GOAT's of my life.
LOG2 truly was a masterpiece for me. I’ve probably played this game, over 100+ times. I always remembered saving before main boss fights, not being happy if I took too much damage or cheesed too much, and would replay it. I also would replay them just because I enjoyed them so much. Grinding levels in the islands where the alligators were to get to level 50. Even finding all the nameks before losing Goku at the end to fight Cooler on New Namek with Goku. Countless Hours played. Still own it to this day and can pick it up any time. Still hate that fucking dinosaur egg section! Lol
Also the soundtrack is absolutely legendary. Every track is a certified banger. 🔥🔥🔥
Saving goku too fight cooler is a move only a real one would make
Remember that quest where you had to carry dinosaur eggs down a mountain without getting hit once?
That woke me up to the garbage hit detection log2 had.
Enemies always hit faster than you and had more attack range than you. It was annoying.
Man this game was my life. I remember 100% this game. Getting all the gold capsules, max level all the character and unlocking Hercule. If Dragon Ball Z Kakarot came out when I was in middle school, I would have been all over it as much as I was with Legacy of Goku 2.
Me too i spent so long maxing out hercule too xD
Loved this game. I still own it. Buus fury is good too
I remember having this game as a kid, I was blown away by the quality of a GBA game, it still puts some 3ds games to shame
LoG II, Buu's Fury, and the Golden Sun games are all not only my favorite GBA games, but some of my favorite games of all time!
Golden Shower > Golden Sun
This game was insane, I wish they would do something like this again but for pc and console en for the switch will do!
After forcing myself to complete the first part, I cannot wait to replay the exciting The Legacy of Goku II! I am still so surprised how many characters are playable!
When piccolo was willing to sacrafice himself to take out android 17 ,this game made the scene seem so sad but powerful as if piccolo was getting revenge for future gohan
11:30 THANK YOU! the real life aspect and the humanization of db characters is so important to me and i feel like i never see ppl talk about that aspect of dragon ball
I LOVED "maxing out " Trunks and Vegeta, having them crush every thing they could.(accept the character specific missions of course)
You can (mostly) play your own head-cannon.
I love LOG2. I've played through it a bunch of times since its release. Buu's Fury is another one of my favorites.
8:36 every thing you said about the song man you are so right bro music just stops time and brings you back
Legacy of Goku 1 and 2 were my first GBA games ive ever played besides pokemon, so many good memories, even if Legacy 1 wasnt as good and kind of frustrating, I still have fond memories and I can't hate it. Like, I remember sitting in a Walmart shopping cart as a young kid while my mom pushed me around the store, and I beat Raditz, after being really frustrated and I felt so good when I finally beat him!
This was a wholesome share. Thank you!
My memories i have with this series of games is incredible. I Remember when i bought my gameboy advance sp with Power Rangers ninja storm and Legacy of Goku one in Puerto Rico and still have my personal copies after like 20 years. What amazing moments thank you for bringing me back.
I recently replayed this trilogy on my stream. Love it! Buu's Fury was legit my FAVORITE game on the GBA, above Minish Cap and Ruby/Sapphire!
8:00 that's actually just a fan theory. What really happened it that Toriyama was experiencing burnout after the Piccolo Jr saga through the Cell saga and had CONSIDERED ending the series at multiple points. Some say Goku was supposed to actually be dead after the Frieza fight some say the Cell saga was the end.
The truth is the editors and publishers agreed to give him more leeway on the Buu saga so that he would do one final arc.
Another great video as usual. I've been wondering since you mentioned a couple videos back about how there are a few db games you didn't get around to playing when they released I've been wondering if you've ever played DBZ: Attack of the saiyans on the DS. It's a turn based rpg Dragon ball game. May make for an interesting video down the line as well as buu's fury
I hate how in the original LOG when you attack enemies they don't react to your attack, it's as if they don't seem hurt at all but the enemies in LOG2 does react and that makes killing them feel satisfying.
There's also a little touch when fighting certain bosses with different characters when applicable, like if you manage to unlock the optional Cooler Boss, you could fight him with someone like Trunks and they'll have unique dialogue.
This was the ONLY ONE that i owned.i got lucky af to be a kid and be around the time that THIS ABSOLUTE GEM came out. Man what a GAME. ONLY gripe with it is the damn EGG MISSION and how Yamcha, Krillin and Tien go GOD MODE in the Sparring arena. Btw THE SPARRING ARENA THEME MUSIC 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LOOK IT UP ON HERE. SO MUCH HEAT
What I’d love to see one day that will never come: Dragon Ball Z Legacy of Goku Trilogy Remake. LoG getting the biggest remake where the story is expanded beyond just Goku where you could play as Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo & Vegeta. In LoG2 the same cast you get and same with Buus Fury.
Visually maybe something like a Links Awakening touch up while giving all three the same game mechanics such as Item Equips, Food Pickup, Misc Questing, Secret Bosses, etc.
Banger videos. I looooved these games as a kid. Many hours spent in the car playing this while my mom drove around my older siblings to all of their events
Back in the day, this was one of the few games that I completed entirely via an emulator, but liked the game so much I had to go out and buy a legit copy.
Fun fact: this is to this day the only Dragon Ball game that was made in the West and localized for Japan as Legacy Of Goku 2 International. Wonder why they didn’t do Buu’s Fury as well
I remember playing LoG 2 back in the day and really enjoyed it! Good Times! Buu's has it's moments too! Great one again Matty!
Legacy of goku 2 was one of my favorite GBA Games thank you for covering it 😄.
Awesome video!
Yes please do Buu’s Fury
I was waiting for you to review this since your review of the first game, the 2nd one shines way brighter. I picked it up recently on the original Gameboy advanced and I gotta say they really made a cool DBZ game on the go. As a kid when I purchased this I was thrilled, the game is a little tough but I still loved it. Great video as always Edit: Grats on the sponsor btw
My favorite when I was a kid. Seriously one of the best anime based video games ever made.
That’s is a misconception made by the fans. Toriyama has never stated or implied that he wanted to end the series at Cell. He said that he planned to end it at the 23rd Budokai, Frieza, and Buu Sagas, but never Cell
Obviously Toriyama's word is king, but when you look at Goku's second death, Gohan being set as the hero for a new series, and Vegeta's wounded pride from Goku's death that it had all the implications other arcs that were supposed to end the series. This one felt the most conclusive of the DBZ arcs if you asked me.
@@retrorebound8887 I don't really agree. I think ending with the Cell Saga would leave an empty void in the series. Because we don't have a conclusion to Goku's character arc. And even Toriyama said he was going to have Gohan be the mc of the Buu Saga, but it wouldn't have been fulfilling if Gohan beat Buu. And he is entirely correct. Ending the series with Gohan would go against the narrative of Dragon Ball, that being teamwork, and how the power of others makes one strong. Which is why Buu is defeated with everyone contributing. I just don't think Cell's defeat truly shows this.
@@joeker5208 That's fair. At the end of the day, you're correct that it's never officially been said by Toriyama himself!
@@retrorebound8887 i love the cell saga, but I just don't think it wouldve been a satisfying conclusion to the series. But that's just my opinion, and it seems Toriyama thinks the same
@@retrorebound8887 He was originally going to end the series after Frieza, but Jump editors made him continue the series because it was simply too popular to end. That’s why the story feels more cohesive from Saiyan-Frieza sagas. With Goku achieving the legacy Super Saiyan form and defeating Frieza, the tyrant that killed his race. It all comes full circle. As much as I love Cell and Buu sagas, it does begin to show its cracks a bit in the writing and plot department compared to earlier arcs.
apparently toriyama didnt necessarily want to end the series specifically at the end of the cell saga. He's said in an interview that he wrote the story in a way in which he could end it at multiple different points. I think with that context you can really see how like every saga really could have been the end of the whole series in a way that's different from not only super but a lot of shonen manga today.
Now that I think about it yea it definitely could’ve ended after a few different sagas. It could’ve forsure ended right after goku beats frieza, could’ve ended after cell etc. I do think dbz went on just a little too long tbh, idk I never liked much of the buu saga. There are parts of it that are amazing like majin vegeta vs goku, vegetas final atonement which unfortunately gets immediately undone and takes all the impact out of that sacrifice.
George Lucas wrote Star Wars in a similar way. The saga could have ended at Return of the Jedi and it would have been satisfying, because George wasn't sure if he'd make more, so he wrote it as an ending that tied all the loose ends. A New Hope also ends this way, aside from Vader living.
For the record, the Cell Games being where the original manga was supposed to end is a very popular fan "theory" but it's not true. Toriyama always planned on continuing forward, and while the Buu Saga got plenty of mid-story rewrites, it was always going to exist. It just so happens that the Cell Games feels like such a good, definitive ending that fans automatically assumed the series only continued because of publisher pressure. Not the case.
Thank-you! I hate that people keep bringing this up.
Wasn't it more that it was supposed to be new a status quo shift, with Gohan as the lead instead?
Cell saga wasnt supposed to be the end. In the manga, after the trunks epilogue, there's a page where Mr. Roshi says that dragon ball will continue on for a bit more
Ioved playing as Hercule too. Like his character actually felt weak somehow while you were playing with him. Really great game
Well he WAS the weakest character in game
Another LoG video, Matty you're a god! LoG2 was amazing! Watching this video sent me back in time to when I played the series while on vacation at night. It took me years to realize Buu's Fury was technically LoG3 and what a surprise and amazing game it was. GOAT video Matty.
LOG 1 was good for the first one, it has a special place in my heart, it was my first GBA game along with the GBA during Christmas time.
I have only bad memories of the original Legacy of Goku.
I have only great memories of LoG 2 and Buu's Fury.
Buu's Fury was definitely my favorite in the trilogy but I'd probably put LoG 2 above it as better designed (simply because Buu's Fury is so easy to get overpowered, and you can stonewall enemies so that half the time they can't even fight back).
Great video! Found ya through the LoG 1 video and was looking forward to this one.
One of my music moments is Majoras Mask when you play the song with Darunias baby brother. Always brings me back to playing the game when I was 12
You had me paranoid when you mentioned the maps. I had to go back and check my copies of LoG2 and Buus Fury. Happy to say, BOTH complete in box!
And wow, just looked at current prices for CIB copies or even near CIB copies, and they’ve really went up since I bought mine during lockdown.
This game was so INSANE - I put sooooooo many hours into this game and have replayed it so many times since. There's something about this game that just can't be replicated. I tried playing Kakarot for that same feeling but tbh it just doesn't hit the same for me. It's not bad, it just weirdly doesn't feel as immersive as this felt.
I replayed this recently and the opening track brought a tear to my eye too.
7:54 ACTUALLY the Cell saga WASN'T "meant to be" the end of DragonBall. In Japan it began in the 80's and the Buu saga ended in 1996. It was already "over" by the time it made it's way to America on tv
The anime adaptation premiered in Japan on Fuji Television from April 26, 1989 to January 31, 1996. In the United States, the series initially aired in first-run syndication from September 13, 1996
This is actually my all-time favorite video game. I love this game so much and I take it wherever I go when I go through my day-to-day life. Cheers dude (also, dragon ball was not planned to end at cell. In Japan the buu saga came out the next week in the manga. Just trying to pass on some information)
Dragon Ball ending after the Cell saga is an American fan theory because of how popular Gohan is here. But Toriyama never said he wanted it to end after Cell. If anything, Toriyama said he wanted Dragon Ball to end way before Gohan was even born.
I actually heard he wanted to end it after the Frieza saga originally.
@@AssasiNater5001 Another fan theory. Part of this just stems from how Toriyama ends major arcs and how the anime presents the end. How Friezas arc ends its like he could put down the series and come back to it or not. A legend had been created. Goku was off on another world on a different adventure. Vegeta is off looking for him and Earth is safe once again. How Cells arc ends Goku is dead and wants to stay dead and a new hero is there to stand up and everyone has great character development. He ends Z on a similar note. Goku training the next generation and everyone just went through some development. Vegeta at a similar point of defeat except not depressed about it. He's at peace with Goku surpassing him and accepts him. You can go back to the end of Dragonball anime specifically, it ends with a sense of finality. Even GT stuck the end of the last arc. Super has had the overarching story from the start that prevents it from finality. You know theres more because Beerus is still around. That mountain hasnt been climbed.
Between this one and Buu’s Fury, I dunno which one is my favorite. They’re both so great.
I adore the soundtrack from these games, especial Legacy 2 and Buu's Fury.
Yeah the game is just that good. I remember getting it for Christmas it's so nostalgic.
Great video really good
My mom ordered this game for me off of eBay when I was in the fourth grade. I remember the day it arrived, when she picked me up from school in the alleyway and handed me the box when I got into the van. It came from China and I remember thinking how cool it was to be holding something that came from so far away. Tore into that sucker and the rest was history. To this day, Legacy of Goku II is one of my favorite games of all time for sure, and as a kid it put me onto DBZ in a big way. Buu's Fury was fucking sick too, but SUPER easy to breeze through if you just min-max'd your POWER stat. Anyway, also one of the best soundtracks of all time!
Man I remember getting this game and a GBA SP for my birthday back then. Such a great time! I would love to play it again now. RIP to the GOAT!
Buu's Fury had the best combat. LOG2 had the best exploration and world building. I loved LOG2, but man melee combat was all about getting hits out fast and staying on the enemy. It took some getting used to. Good times.
Yay you did LOG2!!! Thank you! ❤
Been playing these games on and off since release. You can charge your punch in the 2nd & idk if its the 2nd or buus fury but if you hold block and press I think energy blast button you have an energy shield
My favorite DBZ game ever, next to Buu's Fury and Supersonic Warriors. If it included blocking and ki shielding (like in Buu's Fury) and/or backdashing and side dodging, that would have been *unbelievably* fun.
I'm 26 now and just the past couple years I have started to wish I kept a lot of my childhood possessions. I had that map but it probably got chunked one summer
Love seeing this!
This game and Buu's Fury was a grind but overall very fun games on the little gameboy advance. I later enjoyed the Attack of the Saiyans game on the Nintendo DS and wish we got another entry,
I remember playing this game as a kid on my gba and it was unreal. I was in love w this game and the RPG aspect
i grew up with this game - so many good memories with this and buu's fury. DBZ fans were so lucky, I wish all anime fans were given this many products/games lol
I had that poster hanging on the wall in my room for years! Don't know if I still have it, might be able to dig it up somewhere at my parents' house
God damn right it’s a good game, heck it’s a GREAT game. A mash up of RPG gameplay with exploration and a bunch of secrets too find, dialogue ripped straight from the anime, some of the best sprite work on the Gameboy advance, and music that still slaps too this day.
I LOVE this game, I always wished they would’ve kept it going with the same type of gameplay through GT but we got transformation instead.
This game will forever hold a big place in my heart, and I’ll likely go back too it once every year, it’s that good. Buus fury is definitely a close second, I’d say the actual RPG mechanics in that game were more fleshed out with actual stat manipulation but the Cell arc slaps too hard for buu too contend
Speaking of Level Gates, when you had Vegeta and we were looking for Dr Gero, I didn't know where to go and thought the way forward was through the level 50 Vegeta gate in that area. So I got my Vegeta to max level at the start of his story...
Lmao
I can't wait to see your review for Buu's fury.
“Where is circuit shack now?” They both went out of business since this game first came out. 😢
The Legacy of Goku 2 is one of my favorites for the GBA, Buu's Fury is also another one that greatly or vastly improved from Legacy of Goku 2. I suggest you play and review Buu's Fury as well. Great video and review
Legacy of Goku 2 is a great game. Remember playing it back in primary school. My dad initially gifted me LOG1 but when I then (kindly) expressed disappointment he took me to Toys R Us and bought me LOG2 in ADDITION to keeping LOG1.
A great vid one thing that was a bit off was about the ki charge thing.
It is actually possible but takes a long time without any movement so yea not very useful when there are multiple opponents aroundm
Woo-hoo! Haven't watched the video yet but appreciate you putting it out, especially this quickly
It's pretty hilarious how you were holding those scissors. 😆
I feel nostalgia with video games too. Especially the older games in the FF franchise.
I can remember being at my Dad's house, 13, good summer vacation. I remember going fishing and bringing my gba. It's all so vivid.
I also had my buddy do a Remix of goku’s track for a hip hop beat,
I feel the same way about the track matty, love that shit
Yes it is that good. I played it again just a few days ago and it definitely holds up. One of the best DBZ games ever made
Just in case you care, Piccolo's name is trademarked ™️ and not copyrighted ©️ because a piccolo is already a word - most often referring to a piccolo flute, but there are many woodwind instruments that have piccolo variants.
The more you know...😁👍
Indeed! These are the facts we’re looking for.
I haven’t thought about this game in almost 20 years.
Your video came out of nowhere, and it truly opened up a portal of nostalgia
This game means so much to me and has so many memories, I would love to play it again
You know a game is gonna be a treasure when each character's name is consistently written with a (C) or TM after them.
But seriously, this is, without a doubt, the biggest gaming glow-up I've ever seen in my 32 years. I tend to be really forgiving of bad games, but LoG1 is absolute trash. And then the same developers, a year later, put out one of the best DBZ games ever and one of the best action-RPGs ever. It's incredible.
LoG to LoG 2 was a quantum leap
matty when he thinks of 2003: nostalgia.
me when i think about 2003: *pounding noises*
actually the original ending of DBZ was supposed to be at the end of the saiyan saga. Vegeta was supposed to die and that was it.
Thanks for video. I'm getting hit by the catagory 4 hurricane tomorrow. Thisnat least kept my mind off of it for 20 minutes.
I still have this game and played it on my Gameboy SP last year. It’s definitely one of the best Dragon Ball games ever made, not gonna lie!
My memories with THIS GAME run SO DEEEP. This was my 2nd EVER Gameboy game. I'll never forget Monster's Inc on the 1st model GBA that i somehow lost.....but MY NEXT gba was the SP model with the Backlight INSIDE. Mannn i was so lucky. This game AND the Shrek 2 movie (on Gameboy advance video) and the gba didnt have a regular headphone jack so my dad bought me the headphones that were made specifically for it. GOOD TIMES MAN. RIP dad👼
Legit bought 1&2 a couple weeks ago. I have my buus fury since launch day. This will keep me occupied as hurricane Ian passes through the next couple days (Tampa)
good shit dawg
Love this game and Buus fury to peices, and like you said the music for me shotgun blasts me everytime!
You definitely gotta make a Buu’s Fury video and after that make one on the GT GBA they released
I remember breaking the screen of My GBA punching it because I couldn't beat the dinosaur in the beginning 😂
Bro. This was my very first Game Boy Advance game. I liked the game so much that I went back to get Legacy of Goku 1 and saw how terrible it was in comparison, then got Buu's Fury.
I remember trading a plan b tech deck for this game. One of the best trades of my life. Still have the loose cartridge 😅 matter fact actually found my lost gameboy with this game today 😅
Please do buus fury next! Such a great game, you make me wanna break my game out and play! ❤️
I wish I still had the poster. I put it up on my wardrobe and I don't remember what happened to it
I have the box and manual though.
I also have the box and manual for LOG1 and BF. LOG's box though has been flattened.
This was definitely one of my favorite gba games growing up
I remember when I got this, i was stuck due to the power flip section at The Vinny's house, like, i didnt know what the sequence was. Then one day i let my friend barrow it, and his cousn was able to figure it out
Last thing lol, In that video store in west city you can see Super Nintendo games on the table, I think one of them is secret of mana, and there is another one that’s FF II I believe.
Just a cool touch, this game is all about that detail
Most people say Buu's Fury was better because of more features, but I always had way more fun playing this one. It felt more balanced in terms of difficulty (although you could trivialise it if you got really good at it), and I felt that the music was better
