Unpopular opinion: I loved Mercenaries 2. Granted, I think part of it was because of all the B-game jank (I have a well-documented love for shabby games).
Weird timing when this popped up: I'd been playing SNES Smash TV for a couple of days before this video landed. Man, Smash TV and the SNES controller were made for each other.
But I'm a bit bummed Jeff didn't play the C64 version of Smash TV, which is an excellent conversion. Some concessions had to be made: the number of sprites onscreen at once; potential colour clash leading to the (correct) creative decision to make all floors black; the condensing of a couple of levels into each other. But it's still great to play and has control systems to accommodate dual stick play (I always used one joystick to move and keyboard to fire). It's a game I have great memories of finishing as a kid; even typing about it now makes me want to dig the disk out and have a crack.
