The Brilliant & Historic Ending of Mega Man 2 | Gettin' Super Nerdy [SSFF]
🕑 Added 2018-11-17 00:28:12 +0000 UTC Hello Supporters!You probably know Mega Man 2 is one of my personal favorite games but I've never actually made a video about it. And that was because it's hard to think of something new about a game as popular and respected as Mega Man 2. But I found an angle - the ending!
This is one of the shorter videos we've made in a while but it was one of the tougher scripts we've had to write. I'm really happy with how it came out, it covers just about everything I wanted to say about the final minutes of Mega Man 2. So enjoy!
This video will be exclusive to Patreon until next week. This version of the video is also add free! Not only that, we ended the video with a couple fun out takes that wont appear on the public YouTube version. So no ads and bonus goofs with Grace and Derek!
We'll have another video for you on the other side of Thanksgiving! We're finally tackling GBA First Person Shooters, so look forward to that!
Thanks as always for the support!

I’m biased towards MM3 because it’s my favorite MM game and I think it has a perfect approach to “story,” but MM2 has a beautiful simplicity to it, especially in the ending. It doesn’t need words and pulls off everything with imagery. Definitely the sign of a passion project. Great video!

Thank you! It was something we were a little nervous about making, but I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Sir, this video is immense. I love this kind of "analysis", it was touching and analyzing beyond the game itself is something you don't see/listen to everyday. Truly a great job, bravo!

I ended up playing it again today, but this time without continuing, cause continuing is for chumps. I want you to be proud of me, Uncle Derek.

Actually, I played “Difficult” mode for this video and since I’m so used to playing on “Normal”, which is actually easy mode, I had so much trouble!! But I’m glad I got you to play it again!

Yo! So I pulled my copy off the shelf and had a Mega Man 2 afternoon. I wasn't PRO GAMER DEREK good, I continued a couple times, but I had a good time. Thanks for the motivation to revisit it.

Agreed, I think MM3 is pound-for-pound a better game. (Tho personally, MM4 is one of my least favorite) But MM2 was such a trailblazer, its accomplishments far outweigh its short comings. It moved the bar incredibly high for enemy and level design, music, weapons, and story in video games. Very few games from ‘88 are as richly designed and play as well as MM2.

MM2 may only be my 4th favorite (Next to 9, 3 and 4), but it's the one I have the most fond memories of. It's one of those rare games that, despite it MANY flaws, it's still a masterpiece
