Dragon Ball Z has a soft spot in my heart and is one of my favorite shows and anime in general. However, Legacy of Goku is... something a little different. I'd love a Switch Port of the second and third GBA games though. With the new Broly movie coming out in a few months I felt the need to catch up and play a bunch of DBZ games, so here's the first of what is probably gonna be a lot of videos with this kick tbh. Also Piccolo best dad.

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.

[@LLotad]

yeah but it made absolutely 0 shit that a wolf could fuck up goku so fucking easily

[@SetsunaTheGreat00]

The grinding was crap lol

[@avataraarow]

Yeah I agree that if it makes sense anywhere it’s here. The exact method of grinding, as in via fighting random wildlife which have no business touching the Z warriors made little sense, but I definitely never cared about it back when I played the game

[@nizz0matic307]

i honestly did not hate the grinding at all as the gameplay was fun. only a handful of times in the last 2 games did i feel like it took too long.

[@EddiePReacts]

Depending on the game grinding sucks. Don't think it was great in dbz. But to each its own. Time is a resource. Id rather a story flow

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

In the first game there is actually a cheat code you can put in and it gives you invincibility.

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

[@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734]

The Hero of Time 796 eh it's still pretty repetitive,boring and infuriating to a lot of people who played the first game. Myself included

[@endlesschase2434]

The Hero of Time 796 oh, I see then, sorry. Thats true, DB is honestly better in almost every field but (maybe it’s because of nostalgia) I still prefered Z and love it a little more. While Z honestly isn’t arguably as good as DB you can’t argue it wasn’t a pretty good (but with notable flaws) successor compared to the likes of Super and GT (which were good overall but had bad execution in some aspects)

[@BoundaryBreak]

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

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

I mean past Freeza it was basically the publisher pushing Toriyama to continue a series he wanted to end.

[@edwardhim2276]

Shesez Power scaling was fucked since early dbz. Remember how Raditz was far stronger than goku and it took goku decades to achieve what was thought to be unprecedented level of power? Yamcha, krillin, tien and picollo achieved Raditzs power or higher in one year, after training with kami, ignoring the fact goku trained with kami for 3 years and didn't get a fraction of those yields

[@Scsigs]

You expect believability in a fantasy series?

[@bradenbungard9035]

Jakub Makalowski that’s a common misconception but it’s not true

[@Willowposting]

Toriyama didn't want the series to end after Frieza. And Toriyama has always had issues with editors and the publisher.

[@Kaiser499TV]

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

[@pandasbass7267]

Kaiser499 it’s great but it’s so short :/ and they’ll never make the sequel they teased at in the end

It was great cause it skipped all the nonsense filler that Legacy had but the main reason for that is cause it's based on Dragon Ball Kai and only covers two sagas: Piccolo junior and the Saiyan saga.

Isaiah Rivers what about a 3ds trilogy 3d remake?!

[@VOAN]

Even though there were no remake, Attack of the Saiyans for the Nintendo DS was basically just that. A restart of the story that made the first two saga more playable. Like Legacy of Goku that game plays true to an RPG but unlike the Legacy games it used a turn based battle like Legend of the Saiyans for Super Famicom instead of the Zelda style like Legacy. Also unlike Legacy, Attack of the Saiyans focus only on the Piccolo junior and Saiyan saga only and was based on the DBZ reboot Dragon Ball Kai series though its sequel which would had cover the Namek and Frieza saga never happen.

[@TwilightTheCabbit]

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.

[@Freelancer90]

I was honestly expecting a sequel to Transformations, considering it left off at the climax of the Baby saga, but it never happened. :(

[@AntiNihilist]

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.

[@Yuli_Ban]

>but if that was done it would be nonstop fighting and basically no adventure. No, it wouldn't be. Not until GT and Super did Dragon Ball _ever_ become "nonstop fighting." Dragon Ball after the third arc and through the end to Z was definitely an action story, but there were massive chunks of either exposition, exploration of the world, and set-ups to fights. Honestly it works best as an action-RPG.

[@constanzabestest]

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.

The first one had a reason why it wasn't good cause it was Webfoot's first game and they weren't sure of how to start and developed the series. Also they were a small dev with limited budget so it make sense why the first game suffer quality the way it did. The second game; however, was great cause the success of the first game brought in high sales and a demand for better product proving that there are fans of the series out there thus resulting in increase budget and they were able to afford a better engine to make the second and third game which bump the quality standard up a notch.

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.

[@regg58]

It sucked..there

[@xXLiLJokerXx]

so you're saying gt was good because it equaled z's filler? Honestly, i disagree with all your points except the ss4, that form is aesthetically perfect.

[@TheInfectiousCadaver]

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

[@Nsaf_UKR]

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

[@anti-macro]

I had the first one and I vividly remember loving it and hating it at the same time. Loving it because it was Dragonball and I just *HAD* to play it. Hating it because it was complete fucking shit.

[@youeediot9776]

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.

[@jitzscaper1093]

These games were not awful not sure what you're on about. Legacy of goku 1 i could see, that game kind of sucked but legacy of goku 2 was the best game in 2004. My friends and i all played it and it was the most popular game in school. Buus fury was good as well but not as good as log2

[@ArcRay20]

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.

[@austineruption]

I believe that was Dragonball Origins!

[@ArcRay20]

THATS the one, i remember my friend said it was pretty good. i totally confused it with this series in terms of names.

[@antg2183]

Arc Ray Dragonball Advanced Adventure??

[@particle0]

There was also a turn based game that covered late DB to the Saiyan saga. Dragon Ball Attack of the Saiyans I believe.

[@vaazon]

Super Saiya Densetsu

[@jitzscaper1093]

Bro legacy of goku 2 was the best of the series. I'd rate it a 9.5/10. Legacy of goku 1 gets a 5/10 for me and buu's fury i would give a 8.5/10.

[@mariogamecrazy]

The best handheld DBZ game is Legendary Super Warriors hands down!

[@rysiskailepai]

I only beat Legacy of Goku by using the cheat to have infinite health 😂 but I beat Legacy of Goku II and Buus Fury the right way

[@all_late_gamer5695]

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...

[@Kate_Hanami]

I still think Kakarot is the best spiritual successor we could have hoped for

[@immortalfrieza]

True. I would give anything for a Dragonball game in the style of Kakarot.

[@Kate_Hanami]

@@immortalfrieza it's all about shiny auras and planetary exploration no one seems to care about the hijinks of the monkey boy looking for the wishing orbs

[@BrianAwesome]

Too bad Legacy of Goku 2, didn't start with the Future Androids Vs Future Z-Fighters 😔

[@monadoboy9670]

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

[@forbiddenspatula4243]

You get to play as Mr. Satan in DB Buu’s fury; 10/10 better than Fighterz!

[@SundayNightGames]

zelda clone? weird opinion wtf lol good vids tho

[@EzekielDTowner]

My college professor created this game Dr.Dana Dominak

[@FatalityPWN]

Legacy of Goku 2 and Buus Fury are great, the first game god no lol.

[@KarmaHauntsYou]

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.

[@aaronm12500]

Legacy 2 was fuckin dope. I’m glad I didn’t play part 1

[@Woolie]

I played the shit outta Buu's Fury

[@rasensugarcane2069]

I actually still have buu's fury and I kick it's ass

[@osamamansoor927]

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.

[@rtuumm]

I would love Legacy of Goku 4, but I hope its not based on "DB Super" because I refuse to watch that shit.

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

What else could it be? The Legacy series already covered all of Z. Unless they made an original story incorporating the movies or GT. Or did a game based on Dragonball instead of Z.

[@Pioxys]

Wait they still thinking of concepts for Legacy Of Goku 4 after all these years??? I'd be so down for that if they're able to do it. Despite the games being a major grind fest, I used to love playing the old trilogy. Imagine them doing it all in one. From original Dragonball to Super. Then unlockable stories through GT and movies. That would be pretty fun to see, now that they possibly know more about Dragonball.

[@kennedyshits9840]

youre making me think of budokai tenkaichi trilogy.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

My two favorite games of The Legacy of Goku series are The Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury (AKA The Legacy of Goku 3). And Why? Because in TLoG 1, you only play as Goku and not as the other characters. I like TLoG 2 and Buu's Fury better because you can play as Goku, Future Trunks, Piccolo, Vegeta, Vegeto (Only once), Gogeta, Gotenks, Kid Trunks, Goten, Hercule (AKA Mr. Satan), Kid Gohan and Adult Gohan.

[@masoudshairzadeh6820]

Legacy of goku 2 and buus fury is amazing

[@MZ-ih8ec]

I would buy the fuck out of legacy of Goku 4

[@leeneey]

"cell saga is the best saga" defends the great saiyaman saga "oh also Videl is the best" dude you have excellent TOP TIER dragon ball Z preferences and taste and between this and with liking Mega Man Legends too haha. i am totally on the same page with all of these absolutely for real.

[@RexZShadow]

Only if he means long hair Videl =X I still consider it a war crime when they cut her hair.

[@leeneey]

@@RexZShadow i actually used to feel the same as you about that ha. then in my later school years i tried short haircuts and my boyfriend loves short haircuts like that on girls ha.

[@Yuli_Ban]

13:58 Wait, _General_ Tao? That's the third time I've heard him referred to as that. When was he a general?? I've only ever heard him as Mercenary Tao in the dub.

[@ThatOneCloudGuy]

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

[@dawoodwilliams3652]

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot feels like a modern version of these games.

[@shawnfields2369]

Agreed. It's basically a modern update of the Legacy of Goku series, but if the first game wasn't terrible. Unfortunately, I never played the first 2 LOG games, as I never grew up with a GBA. But I did play Buu's Fury, even though it should probably be spelled "Boo's Fury", because that's how Majin Boo's name is spelled in the international versions, it was only spelled Buu over here because of I think, copyright? Sorry for rambling. But I've finally gotten my chance to playthrough DBZ: Kakarot, and it's great so far. But it's more like how a good version of Sagas might've been, or the LOG4 that people may have wanted...

[@reonstewart1597]

Dbz Legacy of Goku 2 taught me the anime back when toonami went down :')

[@arcisage101]

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

[@blitz2107]

Buu's Fury was the shit!

[@raelogan]

I had Buu's Fury as a kid because that was the one that was out at the time, and my brothers had told Mom that I liked DBZ and that was my favorite saga (she didn't know what "saga" meant, so she was like "Oooh-Kay."). While other girls were interested in princesses and stuff (I like princesses, tho), I was so into DBZ because my brothers and I would watch it on Toonami everyday after school. So, Buu's Fury was handpicked for me, and I LOVED it. Then someone stole my copy.

[@strain42]

So THAT'S where the annoying egg quests from Monster Hunter came from!

[@Nexus71c]

So what I'm hearing is you're a fan of JRPGs, however the grinding in these LoG games annoys you to where it's a "problem"? Nah, while it takes some time, grinding in these games are pretty fun. Much better than the grind needed in some Pokémon games I'll tell you that

[@greatmuta2]

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.

[@TayoEXE]

I don't think you give LoG2 and BF enough credit, plus "Fanservice like General Tao" "Why is Broly here"? Have you never seen the filler or movies? Everyone has their opinions, but I would still recommend at least the last two games. We can agree that LoG1 was kind of trash, though.

[@AkiraStrix94]

Never considered Legacy of Goku 1 a bad game (and I still don't, there are worse DBZ games out there, excluding Sagas, I actually like that one), rather I think it just suffers from what I like to call 'Zelda 1' syndrome. What is that? Well, take everything that was frustrating about the first Legend of Zelda, add some elements from the NES version of Hydlide, maybe even a few elements from Dragon Power on NES (which btw, a horribly butchered port of a Famicom Dragon Ball game that isn't good anyway), and give it a DBZ coat of paint. In all honesty, like many people, I don't revisit LoG 1 too often, I just think it's brutally unfair with its difficulty. I can only guess Webfoot was forced to rush production with it, which would explain why it doesn't feel fun to play. The sequels are way better, LoG 2 feels like it takes more notes from Secret of Mana, being able to play as more than one character, being able to move in 8 directions instead of 4, and each character having special moves specific to them, like how Piccolo has the Special Beam Cannon, Gohan has the Masenko Ha, Goku has the Kamehameha of course, etc. Buu's Fury is pretty good too, but there are a few things I feel were steps backwards. From playing only as the Saiyan characters this time around, to manually choosing what to level up when you get enough XP, to equipping items to boost your character's stats... and of course, let's not forget a certain "button mashing" segment in that game that is MURDER on your thumb. Aside from all that, I do enjoy all the LoG games, but it does confuse me as to why Buu's Fury isn't just called LoG 3. That doesn't bother me, it just confuses me a little bit.

[@michaelnebo1011]

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

[@Dekomata]

dbz games by webfoot was really a rollercoaster of quality. LoG1 was very garbage, as was taiketsu, then LoG2 was decent and Buu's Fury was great. and then it went back to shit with GT transformations. And given, that HD legacy of goku art they made looks promising. but is too bad nothing seems to have came out of it. well maybe that and seems namco bandai doesn't want any outsiders making anymore db games. by outsiders, i mean american studios. especially since it seems kakarot is bandai namco's take on something that has a similar premise as legacy of goku.

[@poly_g6068]

I don't think it's appropriate (or accurate, even) to call dragonball hunts 'padding'. Dude, the game is called DRAGONBALL, if anything should be used to increase the runtime in organic ways - in ways that you genuinely could not justify otherwise, it should be dragonball hunts. They almost always take the player to unique new areas too, so it's not just copy and pasting content either, for a large portion of the hunt. Biggest gripe with your review.
