While playing as Data would have been cool, you'd think the even more obvious move would have been to allow you to switch between different characters since The Goonies seems so tailor-made for that.

[@beauwalker9820]

I think back in the 8 bit days it'd be kinda difficult to have 6 different characters with different play styles though. Even in SMB2 the 4 main characters play similarly just with slightly different physics.

[@thecawdfather87]

[@angelriverasantana7755]

The idea of a weaponized Yo-Yo goes far back to a Japanese TV show called Sukeban Deka, which had its main character 'Saki' use a modified Yo-Yo as a weapon

[@abrahamambriz892]

Do you recommend the anime?

[@Nolroa]

In fact, it's older than that. The yo-yo originally started out as more of a weapon than a toy. The yo-yo was used as a weapon. The Filipinos used to use an object similar to the yo-yo as a weapon for hunting, as they climbed the trees and dropped this device on the prey. During the 16th century, Spanish explorers learned about this object and it was soon introduced to Europe. .

[@Takeshi357]

There was also the mook in one of the James Bond movies with a buzzsaw yo-yo I think

[@mrbrex95]

Just a tiny trivia for you guys, the entire level design and planning of Goonies II was made by Hitoshi Akamatsu, who today is credited as the game designer and mastermind behind the original Castlevania trilogy! You can even notice that both Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest and Goonies II have a pretty similar exploration design and feeling.

@@justintoxicated5237 Wish I could remember, but it might have been. Either way this is super nostalgic

[@ThresherMation]

This feels like a genuine AVGN video like that of the past

[@myscreen2urs]

Yep! He took us back to the past 🥲

[@dylanzlol7293]

Eh, i feel like the avgn nerd isnt as angry as he could be here

[@jasonjlaw]

The Commodore 64 version is awesome. Pretty accurate to the movie locations and even has a level based on the cut out octopus scene. Even has all of the Characters from the movie.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

Hey the Nintendo one had little octopuses running around, too. (No, I'm not going to type "octopi" or "octopodes".)

[@goochI034]

@@KasumiKenshirouyou just typed both…🤨

[@TVsMrNeil]

I remember being a kid and thinking that Goonies II was the sequel to the movie, not realizing that there was another Goonies game. Also, I believe the mermaid was a cut subplot from the film.

[@the-engneer]

The soundtrack for The Goonies 2 has a special place in my heart

[@brianmeen2158]

It was honestly The best part of the game.. the graphics were decent too but the actual gameplay was messy

[@the-engneer]

@@brianmeen2158 I definitely will not disagree! I never could get very far as a kid and eventually gave up😅

[@xard64]

Konami: "No, the well known Silent Hill 2 hole quote IS a Goonies 2 reference." Me: "No. No! That's not true. That's impossible!" Konami: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true!" Me: "No! Noooo!"

[@Catastropheshe]

19:10 this is gold 😂😂😂 that "moonwalk" 😂😂😂

[@Draggo-zp1jf]

25:14 I will never see that scene the same again lol

[@aaronguerrette]

Ahhhh so Mike plays the games on stream and footage for episode. Still consistent.

[@zixise]

I love that as the budget goes up James' staging and sets stay the same or get cheaper looking to match that cable access feel. Its so perfect

[@SirGriefALot]

11:07 Yes, it's that exactly. All the rooms are from the same perspective. You look at how the character is facing and press the direction you want them to move in. If they're facing towards the screen and you press up, that means they would walk backward through the door in the middle of the screen.

Had a spontaneous partial collapsed lung happen yesterday, and this gave me the laugh I needed after sitting in a hospital for 3 days. Thanks, Nerd!

[@Brinta3]

‘Today’ was three days after ‘yesterday’?

[@damianolima2100]

Take a shot everytime he says "Because this is Goonies 2"

[@YamasakiProductions]

I tried this, and I’m dead now.

[@caseystrange]

The original Goonies did receive a US release on the Nintendo Playchoice-10 and Versus Systems!

[@LoremasterFoxBuster]

I played it on a Supervision 52-in-1 cartridge. The only difference is that the game didn't have the introduction image.

[@1lukarioz]

Real goonies never release B)

[@400KrispyKremes]

He said that in the video.

[@fortunax22]

It really shows that you didn't even bother to watch the video! Congratulation.

[@blabbilizer]

Interesting, I went to an arcade that had a Playchoice 10 two days ago and it wasn't on there

[@TheRealDJLack]

Thank you James for staying with us after all of these years!

[@thegrimone1318]

From now on when someone says "that's not how you do that "I'm going to reply "because this is goonies 2

[@ItsNoFNJoke]

Yo-Yo's were the craze in the 90's. I remember everyone I knew (myself included) owned like 5 different yo-yo's lol. We'd take turns showing off the moves we learned. I think I still have mine somewhere in a box.

[@whaduzitmatr]

we all had those automatic yo-yos with the ball bearings in them

[@NoneofYourBusiness667]

I remember the yo-yo craze of the 90’s, it was great! Duncan was the King and will always be the King. I was a pro back in the day! Around the world, walk the dog, the butterfly, etc.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

​@@whaduzitmatr or the ones with motion activated blue and red blinking lights that flashed when you yo-yo, those were pretty dope until the batteries died or you smashed them into the floor and they broke. 😭😭😥

[@dredwick]

bruh, yo'yo's have been popular af for the past 100 years. The only reason people think there was a craze in the 90's is because they weren't alive when there was a craze in the 80's, or the 70's, or the 60's, or the 50's when Duncan Toys blew tf up because of all the different yo'yo's they made. The "craze" has existed since the 50's.

[@shrraga]

14:21 "and the stick shift was on the ceiling" You mean like in a cyber truck?

[@RoundShades]

I was thinking that too, isn't the touch panel for the shift between Park reverse neutral and drive, on the roof of the cybertruck? I don't know if he knew that. It could be a reference, it could be a sheer coincidence.

[@ZachSeineVideos]

1:46 Nerd: "Konami...!" My 2024 brain: "F*ck Konami!"

[@warfarmy]

I think your videos are still top notch, I was dying when you simulated the candle from Goonies lol😂

[@Beneficial_Gamer]

I think I somehow summoned a new episode. I was watching AVGN videos when this popped up in my notifications!

[@goochI034]

Cool story

[@mask9306]

I love the joke of: "Remember, this is Goonies 2."

[@ZitiPatrol]

Thank you Mike Matei for playing though all of these on stream

[@Harbingeruprisingofficial]

James, you are a blessing. Don’t want to ever have a day without you. The planet earth is in your debt. Thank you for all your hard work.
