Grinding is not just a gameplay feature, its a story feature. If ANY game would and should include grinding, its a DBZ RPG. Frankly I felt it fit perfectly.

You don't know people who have played Buu's Fury? Holy shit try being on a school bus in my home city with a GBA with Buu's Fury in it and watch when you head home with empty pockets.

I remember the first time I played legacy of Goku 2 being blown away, I love how they had goku as the last unlockable character making it so redeeming, It’s so badass how you can use the spirit bomb at will. It’s sill one of my favorite games of all time, through and through

A series of games that genuinely got better with each entry. If we ever get that fourth teased game, it well could be the perfect love letter to DBZ. Who knows, maybe Super will get a game in this style one day.

The Broly terroizing the village is not random. Its actually from the movie Broly Second coming. Also, for legacy of goku, if you get hit with a ki blast while flying, you get invincibility, so you can easily skip most of the grinding. Would also like to mention you can unlock hercule in legacy of goku 2 and the gogeta fusion in buus fury. The last 2 games were almost perfect in my opinion

Fun fact: The developers actually included an invincibility code in the game, possibly as a developer's tool to actually play test it, but they never removed it. That goes to show how unfair Legacy of Goku I was.

On the egg mission you're supposed to use vegeta and turn super saiyan to increase your speed. Even i figured that out as a little kid.

Legacy 1 was OK but I love 2 and buu is pretty good. They're my favorite dbz games. All we get now is fighting games.

If there's one thing I love. It's Bulma.

You throw shade at the first game's gameplay, but interacting with a new enemy only to have the shit kicked out of you and eventually die, then doing a bunch of pointless time-consuming bullshit to increase your power enough to eventually defeat the bad guy - rinse repeat - sounds like a near-perfect adaptation of the DBZ formula

Man, I looooved Buu's Fury. It was the first entry of the series that I played, and I spent so many car rides and bathroom trips grinding my characters.

Buu's fury was the best imo. Im so glad i found 1 2nd hand a year ago. Really gave me good feels even when playing it as an adult

foolish Austin-san, if only you had known that the first legacy of Goku had an easily exploitable cheat and cheat code to make that game a breeze. it was a nightmare without it... good video though nostalgia is a hell of a drug

I played the whole trilogy growing up. These games were awesome. I remember wanting a GT one afterwards, not really because I cared for GT, but because I wanted more of these games. And yeah I think Legacy of Goku 1 was the one I replayed the least for obvious reasons...

Kinda sucks they never made a remake of Legacy of Goku 1 where it would fix the problems that Legacy of Goku 1 had.

Buus fury was the best but personally legacy of goku 2 just had way more feels and flashbacks and reminds me a lot about my childhood

11:05 - Fun Fact, there is an updated Japanese only release for The Legacy of Goku 2 that further improves on the portraits.

Dragonball Z: Attack of the Saiyans for Nintendo DS is really good, I'd recommend trying that one out.

I was with ya on the first game, it was painful for me, too. But when you threw shade on Legacy 2 I knew you didn't play it as a kid, that game was everything and more, and when 3 went out me and my friends lost our $hit and played ourselves senseless for months. This is a PERFECT series of games and I thank everyone who took a part in creating my childhood.

Unlocking Gogeta in Buu's Fury is still one of my most memorable accomplishments in gaming lol. The surprise in my face when I realized he was actually in the game was insane

Okay, first off, Austin you look fantastic! I’ve recently went back and watched some of your older videos and man the evolution is crazy, you look great! Secondly; fantastic video. I love this franchise and am always glad to see it getting attention!

i never played buus fury but man i played the hell out of the first two. i remember having to cheese the hell out of frieza and it took so long each time i fought him but i freakin did it so many times. thanks for bringing back painful memories austin

15:09 just wanted to disagree on account that Cel Saga was the first saga in which it felt like the writing got lazier about how characters got stronger, and how enemy origins felt less believable in the context of the body of the series up to that point. But then my opinion is pretty much made moot whenever someone reminds me that Piccolo managed to hold his own against frieza by simply absorbing nail. So this comment was pointless. I'll just say the video was great. good job sir

Legacy of Goku 2 is amazing i think it was one of the first games I ever beat, good times 👍

Honestly even with all the problems you stated I love this series to death. Thanks Ima replay it again!

Did you just say "Buu's Furry" at the one point?

I remember playing these games as a kid, i just got legacy of goku 2 back and I'm absolutely loving it. That soundtrack is just amazing.

Oh, hey, I played one of these. Was the second one where you had to grind everyone to max level to unlock Hercule? Because...because that's the thing I remember doing. To unlock Hercule. I think I know why I forgot about playing this.

Yeah, I'm dropping a like before I even watch this. Anybody who covers this series gets a like from me!

Goku legacy 2 is one of my favourite gba games ever. That soundtrack though!!

Up Down Left Right B A.

Low key, I actually really love Legacy of Goku. I mean, I'm absolutely aware it isn't *good* per se, but I still love it. I still have yet to play LoG II or Buu's Fury, I really need to snag those sometime. Also yes, please cover more Dragon Ball games

>Worst Dad I see. I thought you a man of culture Austin.

Legacy of Goku 2 is one of the BEST examples how a sequel improves upon original game. Seriously LoG1 is a steaming pile of garbage but LoG2, as well as Buu's Fury are pretty much a 10/10 games. It's only a shame they didn't make GT Transformed an RPG too.

I remember playing the crap out of the Cell Saga one as a kid. I even grinded all of my characters to level 50 to open all the color coded doors, found all the secrets and stuff on GamesFAQ. Good times!

I know I’m late to this vid but I gotta say when I was a kid I fucking LOVED the second one of these games. Also I agree the most liked comment, the grinding felt like I was actually training like in the show. Also the art style for the game was absolutely phenomenal for what hardware they were dealing with.

also it sounded like you said Buu's Furry at 16:43 and now i'm getting... mental images

I can't believe his complaints. He's acting as if the game designers should've been 100% accurate to the series, but if that was done it would be nonstop fighting and basically no adventure. This was made to be an RPG and it does stuff even better than its inspiration: Final Fantasy in tons of parts. Like the side quests and fighting dinosaurs and having levels to walk and fight through is actually better than the show itself. In the show they are either talking about the plot, training to get stronger, or doing the actual fights; all of which would never be the selling point of a video game other than the actual fights, and even then, this is an RPG on the gameboy. How could've it been better? BTW Supersonic Warriors didn't do the combat better in my opinion.

Forgot just how many hours I put into this game before watching this. Great work as always, Austin!

I know this is random, but I love that Bulma poster in the background. Is there a digital one online somewhere? I would love that as my wallpaper :)

"Well, anyway. I've been Austin!" *Wh--who are you now...?*

for legacy of goku, i used the glitch that makes you invincible. i was 9-11 at the time.

2:09 in and your video is to the point and very informative and with humour...great video dude. most smaller youtubers do same mistakes over and over again. lets continue...

Another wonderful video, Austin! I played Buu's Fury. It was given to me by a co-worker around 2010. I poured hours & hours into it. So much fun! However, I only beat it once. The insanely difficult button mashing I had to do for the final stage made me rage. Broly coming out of nowhere freaked me out a little. I fought him as Goten & Trunks.

I keep forgetting there normal ass animals and Dinosaurs in the DBZ world.

The Legacy of Goku series is a pretty good prime example of a reeeeeeeeally shit series eventually becoming pretty decent because the developers actually LEARNED from their mistakes. The series didn't become perfect, not by any means, but it did DEFINITELY improve a ton over time and became pretty fun. I love the Legacy of Goku games... well... 2 and Buu's Fury... and would have loved to have seen a fourth installment. It's just a shame Webfoot went ahead and... did Dragon Ball GT: Transformation and Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu... talk about some maaaaaajor steps back. But then again, Dragon Ball GT: Transformation and Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu were a beat em' up and a fighting game respectively which were a major departure from the Legacy of Goku games and they just probably weren't too familiar with those genres and how to make them... good. Maybe if they were able to make sequels to those games despite them being even worse than the original Legacy of Goku, maybe they could have learned from their mistakes and made the sequels pretty good just like they did with the Legacy of Goku trilogy.

I played all three and absolutely adored legacy of goku 2 and Buus fury. I'm one of the few who actually liked the character specific level doors. It filled me with wonder on what could be on the other side. Made me feel like a true explorer.

I can attest that, yes, Buu's Fury was absolutely amazing as a kid. Got it for Christmas and I'll never forget playing that game. Playing it as an adult in 2018, I doubt it ages as well as playing it as a kid circa 2006. I played the whole Legacy of Goku trilogy and you're right in saying the first one kinda sucked even at the time, although the janky mechanics were part of most games so it wasn't unplayable. Still beat the thing to full completion as a kid. The second game was MUCH better, and then Buu's Fury was one of those games you spend hundreds of hours on, max level all characters, get all the collectibles, get all the best stats and gear, and then are only disappointed when there's nothing left to do but beat up random enemies.

Dragon Ball had a big fan base before it was on Cartoon Network. Did you not watch Dragon Ball with fan subs back in the day? You could find DB bootleg tapes almost anywhere back in the day.

Legacy of Goku may have been passable but Taiketsu is 1000% the worst game.

You hit me directly in the feels wit this one sir. These take me hella far back

I played all three of these games (the latter two I played to completion) when I was growing up. I have some very fond memories of them! Very glad to hear ya talk about them :)

I really don't get why Buu's Fury was never released offically in the PAL regions. I thought it was great game and it built on-top of the very popular Legacy of Goku 2 game. Plus the fact that DBZ was still really hot here, so why wouldn't they? The game had already been translated to English.. I did find it kinda funny that all the characters in Buu's Fury starts out at their max level of 50 from the last game. Never really seen that done in any other game series

I played these games as a kid. Nice job Austin!

The memories man. I played the hell out of these games. I remember the year I got my GBA Sp and buys fury. Nostalgia at its best

Hell yeah I remember playing these games. I still have the dbz legacy of Goku 1&2 cart plus buus fury. I lost the gt one though...

Achieving cult hit status around the globe ain't as BS as you think, you're just an American. I used to live in Southern California and my Rabbit Ears on my TV (god I'm old) picked up a spanish broadcast channel from Mexico, and Dragon Ball GT (and Slayers) aired in Spanish at 5AM.

Dragon Ball Fighters Z Dragon Ball Budokai 3 Dragon Ball Teikachi Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans Dragon Ball Adventure Advance Dragon Ball Legacy 2 and 3 Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Those are the greatest DB games ever btw JUST LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL FACES! 14:27

I love watching and sometime, rewatching yo shiznit! I appreciate you being an ally!!!

From the looks of your opinion on the trilogy, it's a good thing I only play Buu's Fury. I never put that game down once when I start playing it. It was blast.

Legacy of Goku 2 and 3 were amazing. Just wish the first game was good. And had the original Japanese script of the anime instead of the dub and kept the original music. The Japanese version of Legacy of Goku 2 does have better profile graphics.

Austin I'm love you

i had so much fun with buus fury. for context i had the game for a while but never really played it, i was mostly on console PS2 and stuff at the time. then my bro joined the military and we had to make a trip from lexington texas to branson missouri so this was a chance for me to play my advance. it was a 10 hour trip driving. so on the way their i spent time grinding and on the way back home my thumb hurt so bad because the button mashing sequence in the end with buu was just a slog to get through. if you werent constantly tapping you lost. i did the double tap method lmao

Great content!! Legacy of Goku 2 and buus fury were some of my favorite gba games while not all great they definitely good on the go DBZ fun

Didn't most of the popular Dragon Ball related stuff come from the Buu saga? you must just be old af

My favourite game series! I rememebr grinding picolos level with those alogators

I grew up with all 3 games and have had such a huge love for them. The Broly Movie DVD also had a behind the scenes video of the games being made which always fascinated me. I still have the games, I dunno if I'd get the time to replay them again but they still give me fond memories

Legacy of Goku 2...man I never thought I'd see that again. When my buddy Vince moved back here in Texas he was working on that game as a sprite artist/animator. Vinnie's House might be a reference to him lol

I STILL HAVE BUU'S FURY. the GBA is broken and gone I still hold that tape close it may be beaten but I love that game 10/10 in my book.

wasnt there another Legacy of Goku game but it was based on Dragon Ball? also i still wish Namco hadnt gone and fucking up the gaming market for anime games. they are the only ones who get to make anime games and they are all really samey unless they outsource like for FighterZ.

No one would say no to more Dragon Ball videos! Keep em coming Austin!!

Legacy of Goku 2 is one of my top 5 GBA games, i love that game

GT was just as enjoyable as the rest of the series Change my mind

Man, I want your videos/channel to hit huge numbers, like literally there is no quality difference between you and some million subscriber channels like PBG and stuff! Your just as good, goofy, fun, light hearted, and all the good stuff, that all those big name channels hit, but your still in your 100K numbers and it makes me sad! As well as GILLY THE KID! He needs some big numbers too

legacy 2 was sick the improvement from the 1 to 2 blew my pre-teen mind back then

loved the Dream Theater shoutout,blew my mind going back to that trunks special recently and realizing most of the soundtrack was Metropolis part 2 lol

Great video, I only ever played the second one but I loved the hell out of it

Wow this unlocked a huge nostalgia memory for me, I remember I was a kid I had one of these and could literally not get past the Namek level, I just couldn't work out what I was supposed to do. So I just kept restarting from the beginning and getting to that same part then restarting again lol

These are actually my three favorite DBZ games, Buu's fury straight up is one of my favorite games of all time. Webfoot understood "Gameplay first, exactly following the story second." I love the little non-canon side quests, this trilogy had its own identity instead of trying to follow the story as close as possible. The bandit camp, ninja hideout just crazy stuff like when you stop the train robbery! Plus the addition of the weighted gear in Buu's Fury imo makes the grind feel less intense than 2.

i still can't get over your use of Phantasy Star Online sound effects, Austin you're a hero

I remember years ago, I pretty much completed Legacy of Goku 2. I loved the game at the time, but I put the game on the sidelines for a while after beating the main story. Maybe about a year later I went back to the game and maxed out Mr. Satan's level, along with every other character, and did all the optional stuff. Looking back, the game still feels special to me. But not as special. The game will take you on a wild ride on the grindy mcgrind train. Whether that's a good thing is up to you. Anywho, awesome video as always Austin!

I remember my Dad watching an episode of Dragon Ball Z with me as a kid. It just happened to be the episode with the Lady Snake in the afterlife with Goku. I'm pretty sure he walked away disappointed in his 9 year old sons taste of entertainment lmao.

One thing I learned as a child she never run anyone else mention is that if you use a normal ki attack at a boss's feet at the side they'll just walk up to you and stand there. Then you can wail on them till they die.

these games are everything i live for, they're one of my most favorite game's ever and i have no idea why.

Thank you so much for making this :)

"I think if i had played Goku 2 or Buu's Fury as a kid I would have adored them" YUP! Can confirm.

Haven't watched it yet but just seeing the notification in my feed made me smile.

I actually have all three games, I think that this series really helped me as a child and became one of my favorites, especially 2. I didn't have a lot growing up, but legacy of Goku 2 was honestly one of those games that made me feel something. The opening with Future Trunks and Gohan is so sad and dark, it also set the stakes for the game early. It made me not care about the grinding I had to do if it ment I could prevent that dark future from happening. I think I honestly preferred the variety of characters in the second as well plus the character arcs are more meaningful and intense, IMO. Thanks for the nostalgia trip

Buu's Fury is a gem, the RPG elements and the grinding was so fun. That make you appreciate using characters that are throw in the shadow in the anime/manga. Like Goten and Trunks.

Hey! I remember these games :O! Nice video comrade.

really liked those games but had completely forgotten their existence thank you for reminding me of them

Easiest way to get past the dino eggs. Play as Vegeta and go Super Saiyan while standing next to the egg. Pick up the egg while mid animation. It'll pick it up and lock you into Super Saiyan until you drop it, which boosts your movement speed. The recharge can be a pain but if you do it right, you can be done in 5 minutes.

As someone who played all 3 as a kid I have to say. You got every single aspect of this game spot on from being pissed that Goku was dying to snakes in one plus how unbelievably hard it was, to that dumb ass egg mission that stumped my progress for weeks in 2 also because I never knew about the stats stuff in buu's fury I actually played most of the game while not upgrading a single stat, which made the game so freaking hard I wanted to end my life. I tell Yah these games asked alot of a 5 year old.

Jeez. I actually remember so.e of these scenes. Lol what a blast from the past.

I remember me and my friends where so hyped waiting for a new Legacy style game based on GT and instead we got transformation. what a bummer.

Been playing Elsword ever since it existed. It's highly addictive.

It’s funny I just started binging your channel like 3 days ago but, I was talking to my homie about this super hard dbZ game that I had as a kid and I could never remember the name. It’s the first legacy of goku loll. Makes sense why I watch so much anime loll

Came from SuperEyePatchWolf and I've not been disappointed. Wish you good luck.

Being unable to enjoy Legacy of Goku felt like a sacrilege to me as a kid. Good thing I had a healthy love/hate relationship with Legendary Super Warriors.

Buu's fury was actually my first of the legacy of Goku games and I loved it. I played it so much and still have my old copy 😊
