History VideoGame / TheAngryVideoGameNerdIIAssimilation

* ChargedAttack: The Nerd gains this ability from the Turbo Controller powerup.

* GravityScrew: The level "[=WhyWhyWhyWhyWhy=]" is based around this concept as an {{homage}} to ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}''.

* PlotCoupons: The six pieces of the Sexforce (which is replaced with Fucks' Capacitor in ''[=ReASSimilated=]'').

* SpellingBonus: Each level after the first contains UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem cartridges labeled N-E-R-D. Collecting all of them in a world or in the game gives you [[BraggingRightsReward achievements]].

* ToiletHumor: Unsurprisingly, this game has it by the truckload. A septic truck loaded up with buffalo diarrhea, that is.
* ToyTime: Appropriately, the ''WebVideo/BoardJames'' stages.

** The last part of "Hippo Hell" turns into a shmup when the Nerd grabs onto a helicopter

* WallJump: Nerd gains this ability from his loafers, which are obtained in the tutorial level.

** [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon "Virtual Insanity"]] is black and red in the style of the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy.

* {{Sampling}}: The music for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caF1EMkjHsg "Hang Dong '97"]] stage uses a sped-up sample of "I Love Beijing Tiananmen", which was the only part of the soundtrack to ''VideoGame/HongKong97''.

* DownTheDrain: "Browntown", a huge sewer which is apparently full of shit (the Nerd even has to swim through it in one stage). It’s also a massive reference to [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the original Ninja Turtles game on NES.]]

* MechanicalAbomination: [[spoiler:The Fuckotron 9000, a [[AIIsACrapshoot haywire AI]] created by Fred Fucks, turned the entire world into a shitty game. It's held together with "jungle foliage and hyena feces", and has a [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Omega Flowey-like]] monitor for a head that shifts through several [[NightmareFace disturbing, glitchy faces]].]]

* GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: Spoofed with [[DarthVaderClone Dark Invader]], the remake's replacement of Dark Onward.

** "Croc Conundrum" features a gigantic Advancing ''Crocodile'' of Doom. Unusual in that the croc is not a one-hit kill, and only damages you. "Slide Down the Shaft" features the vertical variant, plus a Retreating Wall of Doom underneath you, so you must descend the shaft quickly, but not ''too'' quickly.

Was given an UpdatedReRelease alongside ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'' for Steam and Switch (so far) on October 30th, 2020.

* AntiHero: The Nerd and Critic both aim to save the world, but for selfish reasons; the Nerd to get his stuff back, the Critic to one-up the Nerd and attain all the glory for himself.

** In the UpdatedRerelease, [[spoiler: Fred Fucks, since he created the Fuckotron 9000, which replaces Death Mwauthzyx. ]]

* CheckPoint: The Nerd's Nintoaster.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Nostalgia Critic attempts to kill Death Mwauthzyx with a bomb strapped on his back. He blows up before he can finish declaring his plans.]]

* InNameOnly: Area 52 is based on [[Film/AngryVideoGameNerdTheMovie the AVGN movie]]. Like most movie-based games the Nerd plays, it has nothing to do with the movie.

* LightGunGame: The Nerd's weapons of choice is a light gun, like in the last game. However, the upgrade to Super Scope is permanent this time.

* {{Sampling}}: The music for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caF1EMkjHsg "Hang Dong '97"]] stage uses a sped-up sample of "I Love Beijing Tiananmen", which was part of ''VideoGame/HongKong97'' soundtrack.

** "Sush 'Em Up" is a shmup where you ride atop a giant tanuki with flaming testicles named J. Li Tanuki to help him defeat his mortal enemy Scrotaro, who is a purple [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]] whose chest fur resembles a giant ballsack. Not even the Nerd can wrap his mind around it after the level.
--> '''Angry Video Game Nerd:''' ... What the hell was all that about?

* WallJump: The Nerd gains this ability from his loafers, which are obtained in the tutorial level.

* {{Crossover}}: The game features WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic as a main villain and features an entire world devoted to ''WebVideo/BoardJames'' references (including the titular character as a MiniBoss). In the Deluxe UpdatedReRelease, he is replaced by Fred Fucks (who looks like Gilber Gottfried).

* ExcusePlot: The world got turned into a shitty video game and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic stole your stuff. Go make things right.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The final boss ([[spoiler:Death Mwauthzyx]]) also has absolutely no buildup.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Like in the last game, Beer restores your health, which is [[LifeMeter itself measured in beer bottles]].

* SayMyName: Each fight against the Nostalgia Critic starts with him calling for "NEEEEERD!", and the Nerd responding with "Critic!".

** "Sush 'Em Up" is a shmup where you ride atop a giant tanuki with flaming testicles named J. Li Tanuki to help him defeat his mortal enemy Scrotaro, who is a purple Totoro from Anime/MyNeighborTotoro. Not even the Nerd can wrap his mind around iy after the level.
