Growing up and playing all three, the only reason I’m able to put Buu’s Fury above is due to the side quests being the movies. I remember being so pumped when I realized the Janemba arc was gonna be in the game

I had Legacy of Goku 1 and got stuck at the Temple on Namek. Never had 2 but I had Buu's Fury. I loved this game. I remember getting stuck on the final fight and leaving it on pause in the glove box of my parent's car while attending a birthday party. Came out after the party and beat kid buu. It will always hold a special place in my heart

I loved these games. Buu's Fury was the best one. The developers definitely knew and respected the source material. I think its time to break out my GBA and replay this

I must’ve played Buu’s Fury like 60-70 times. It’s so good and the replayability is top notch. I never got bored replaying the game which is really rare for any game.

My actual favorite DBZ game is a litle known gem called: Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. It is a JRPG re-telling of the Saiyan arc of DBZ. Basically, think of Final Fantasy but with Dragon Ball. I honestly recommend it to anybody that wants to play a fun, JRPG of Dragon Ball Z.

Buu’s fury was actually my gateway into dragon ball. So much of my childhood in this game. Still love it!

Back when developers really did their research and kept true to the story and made the game actually fun to play.

I actually liked the grinding be it felt rewarding after getting it done. I'm also surprised that you didn't talk about the special items that gave you the different ability bonuses. You mention there were items but not laying them out on what some of them did. Like the 5-100 ton boots that make you level up faster, GOKUU hat that gives you an extra skill point for leveling up, the OG Saiyan armor etc.

Buu’s Fury was always my favorite growing up, followed by LOG2. The grind was always tedious, but made the game so much more personal ❤

Legacy of Goku II and this game are actually excellent titles that really captured both the feel and wider canon of the DBZ era from that time, including the Faulconer music.

I actually played Buu's Fury several times before I even realized there was stat allocation so I was hard moding the game for years lol. One of my favorite GBA games!

Buy’s Fury is certainly my favorite LoG game. It has more of the redone Faulconer tracks, and almost all the padding sidequests feel like part of the story thanks to using the films and incorporating other bits of lore in the Dragon Ball hunt. Adding a block mechanic added some more depth to combat. I also like the redone Super Saiyan mechanics. The level gates are  a bit annoying, but the addition of equipment that can increase exp gains mitigates this issue from LoG 2. I actually own a complete version of this game, box and all, that I picked up during a convention a few years ago.

Not only is Admiral Ackbar in the crowd of the Otherworld Tournament, he seems to be sitting next to The Judge from the Ace Attorney games!

I have both. I got buu’s fury first in the double gba pack with GT transformation. (And later got the legacy series 2 in 1). I think both games are great, and compliment each other.

Legacy 2 gets bonus points for future trunks and piccolo. And of course the awesome cell fight. Buu’s fury gets points for fusions and mythic Gohan.

But I really enjoy that the movies get added into buu’s fury as a way to add content. I think Buu’s fury is better mechanically as it builds on what legacy 2 started. It is a bit more grindy than legacy 2 but I actually don’t mind it as I leveled all characters to the max in both games. I would give legacy a 9 out of ten and buu’s fury barely a 9.5 because I like the added rpg elements of the equipment.

Also I didn’t see it mentioned in the video but the scanning mechanic in the game to get stat and bios on every character sprite in the game (even ones that are only available in one fight or appear for just a few frames) was also really fun and great for little references to the anime/manga

“Found Goku in his natural element,

dead.” 💀

i played both of this emulated like 15 years ago (i can't believe it has been that long). I always wanted a GT sequel with this gameplay, what an amazing series. Legacy of Goku II is great but Buu's fury level up the gameplay just enough to got the #1 spot. Probably because i think I played that one first.

The nostalgia I got from this video fills me with happiness.

I love Buu's Fury, but my one complaint is that it's a lot easier than LoG 2 IMO. It's extremely easy to become overpowered, in fact it's pretty much forced onto you due to the level gates (which are less balanced to the boss difficulty than LoG 2). In addition, it's much easier to corner enemies against walls because they will stay stuck against them unless you get a critical hit on them. 2's enemies would ricochet off walls if pushed against them, requiring more rhythm and repositioning to attack and avoid being attacked. Super Saiyan forms are also much more broken because they no longer drain your main pool of energy, they have their own energy bar (which drains far slower as well). And you can just reactivate them within a few seconds of the form running out. You level up a lot faster too, especially if you stack a ton of weights. Not to mention the equipment stat buffs. I died far more in LoG 2 than Buu's Fury.

Buu’s Fury is my absolute favorite GBA game. My only complaint is the prequels’ gameplay aren’t as good, but the stories are.
