Dragon Ball Z is a length series, with many titles under its belt. But today we cover one of the BEST DBZ games. Join us as we take a deep dive into the past of Dragon Ball Z, with The Legacy of Goku 2. It's difficult to emphasize just how important and influential this particular game was, especially for a Gameboy Advance exclusive. But, I try my hardest to do it the justice it so well deserves. In this video we will discuss what made the game so great, if it truly is worthy of its praise, how it holds up today, and everything else there is to know about it. Hope you enjoy!

I love this game so much too, so glad to see this. Have you ever played DBZ: Legendary Super Warriors for the GBC? I definitely recommend a guide for it if you ever decide to play it, cause you do need to do some really specific things to unlock every character, but it's a cool card deck battler RPG-esc game. It can be really brutal and I swear the opponents cheat at times, but it's still just so worth playing. These 2 games were my handheld childhood right next to the Megaman Battle Network games and Pokemon. I'd love to see you cover them

It’s just the peak of how games were. Hercule wasn’t no paid dlc you actually had to play the game unlock him and get some bonus content out of it. They learned from the first game and just came back harder with legacy of goku 2. I would say it def holds up today and even can teach people what gaming really is/was about, fun.

Beyond glad you finally covered this game and did it justice! Got my introduction to DBZ (had no idea who Frieza was at first and thought Piccolo fighting the Triceratops King was canon lol) through this game and it was a massive part of my childhood for being an absolute blast to play all around. The Bruce Falconer OST remixes, the Scouter system, the unlockable hold-A-to-charge attacks... It really is a gem, and more anime stories need to made into Legacy of Goku-likes. Can't wait for the Buu's Fury vid!

The most bizarre thing to me is how Webfoot Technologies landed this contract. What I mean is, when you look at their catalog of games up to Legacy of Goku 1. They made a ton of what I can best describe as unlicensed arcade knock offs for PC. But hey, it paid off, they made some pretty impressive Dragon Ball games, so who am I to question anything?

The Goku vs Cell fight was memorable for me in this game. I did manage to drain down Cell's HP while maintaining the super saiyan form and then Goku decided to give up at the very last second where my ki energy was about to ran out. It felt very accurate to the show for me aside from the fact that Goku took just a small damage since I was trying my best to manuver and dodge during the fight since in this game, Cell and Cell Jrs. do hit hard.

this game was the precedent, the starting block, the OG handheld dbz game and it showed a glimpse of the potential dbz had. I personally love the Buu Saga, so it was like Thanos collecting the last Infinity Stone when I got to play Buu's Fury. The ULTIMATE dbz game, improved on gl2 AND added a little more extra for the hardcore fans

I like to see your perspective on this. I was 17 in 2002, but i also had the watched the entire series by 2001. I became a fan in 96 from the Ocean Dub. I had to watch the entire saiyan arc once a week, no internet. This lead into the ginyu force fight. At the time, the dub stopped there. But then i got internet and started playing all the super famicom dbz games through emulation There was little to no information out so id watch countless liw quality clips, not knowing what is, and isnt cannon between movie clips and TV clips. Eventually, being from New Jersey, i discovered a great secret in little china town in New York. People there woukd go to japan, record the Series on VHS with english subtitles, then sell it to us in NYC. Essentially by the time the frieza arc finished in america, i was finished with rhe maijin buu saga and started watching every movie. It was an interesting time to be a "japanimation" fan.

Man, that sounds magical. I too remember the dub only going up to the ginyu fight and being very confused when it continued to repeat from the beginning. But, I was way too young to understand what the reasoning for this might be, or even that the series had finished airing elsewhere in the world. That must have been an incredible time man!

I remember playing this as a kid. I used a guide to find all the capsules to enhance my strength. Also, since I know the saga ends with Gohan vs Cell, I gave all the capsules to Gohan. I ended up easily whooping Cell at base form. Lol! Also, I didnt bother with Mr. Satan. He is too hard to grind. I just watched the secret ending on KZfaq. Also, I love the cooler optional boss. I made sure I beat him with Goku to be "canon" kinda? We fought on New Namek for some reason.

If you have the foresight to save most of the capsules and later apply them to Hercule, imo he becomes roughly as strong as Piccolo and/or Vegeta, making the level 40 to 50 grind a breeze to unlock the amusing alternate ending.
