Support NeoGAF

[suikodan]

Wow! Coming out so soon! I wanted to hold off from digital purchases for the Switch but I guess this one will make an exception.

 

[wild wild rice]

next week? what the fuck.

$10 bucks? WHAT THE FUCK.

Yeah, this is kinda nuts. Looking forward to impressions.

 

[jennetics]

...okay now I kinda want a Switch...

 

[IronicSonic]

I've never played a Blast Master game but this looks hot.

Same. Between this and Pocket Rumble (And Flipping Death to a lesser extent) Switch is off to a wonderful start (besides Zelda)

 

[Mega]

This looks amazing. I should get around to finally playing the original...

 

[LotusHD]

Another indie I may pick up. My wallet...

 

[Akainu]

I could never finish blaster master. Looks nice though. That girl's design sucks so bad. Cat knee pads really?

 

[Kevin]

I grew yup with the NES and Blaster Master was one of if not my personal favorite game for that system. I feel just as excited for this game as some of the bigger Switch games announced. I love the fact that they kept the look and feel of the original while also giving it a bit of a more modern/updated look.

I will be getting this as soon as it is released. I am also hearing it has co-op? I wonder if that is online co-op. Anyone know?

 

[The Main Event]

10 bucks just sweetens the deal.

 

[KaYotiX]

My wallet is not ready.....

 

[Leatherface]

Sweet lord take my money!!

 

[Neptonic]

I want it injected right into my corneas

 

[Herbspiceguy]

This is how you do a NES sequel.

 

[bearbytes]

Nice, I love Blaster Master. One of my favorite NES games.

It sounds like this is more or less an expanded remake of the original game though, which is a bit of a bummer. I was hoping for an all new game when I started watching the trailer. Still pretty cool.

 

[Kevin]

Glad to see this series getting some love. Both by some game developers and by the community. So many of my friends never played the original game or care for the short lived franchise. I felt all alone... lol

 

[cbrun44]

Yep, buying that day 1. No question.

 

[Breads]

That looked great. Day 1 (if I could find a switch)

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks pretty sweet.

 

[shawnbuddy]

The fact that this is based on the original Blaster Master give me pause. I've tried to play this numerous times over the the last three decades, but it's just too difficult and frustrating for me. It's not "fun" difficulty, it's "fuck you" difficulty. Of course, maybe they took the opportunity to tone it down.

 

[King Al B]

WahhhWhooo now i just need a switch!

 

[Mindman]

And only $10!

I'm there immediately.

Me too!

 

[MrCunningham]

Whoa... I don't care if this is another 8-bit retro throwback... this looks great.

 

[jb1234]

Yup, that looks like Blaster Master. I'll grab it on the Switch for sure.

 

[Diablohead]

next week? what the fuck.

$10 bucks? WHAT THE FUCK.

It's a bit anime cheese sure but it's ever so slight reference to the Meta Fight japanese version.

I've beat it a few times and never thought it was too bad, at least not until the final section with all the ceiling driving. (Not as a kid though, I had trouble figuring out where I was supposed to go back then)

There are a lot of doors (top-down sections) that are completely unnecessary and aren't worth the danger. It's best to look at a guide and just go into the doors that have bosses, and maybe a few others that have low-risk power ups.

 

[Sesuadra]

I'm going to buy it...won't I?

 

[Kevin]

I'm going to buy it...won't I?

 

[Compsiox]

That does look fun

I wish I enjoyed platformers.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

9.99 too, SOLD SO HARD

 

[Fisty]

So some pubs do know how to price games on Switch

 

[steveovig]

I was considering Fast Racing RMX for my one launch eshop game but this looks way more up my alley. This might end up being the first Blaster Master that I beat.

 

[7roject28]

Damn, watching that made me think of The Guardian Legend. Now someone needs to remake that game like this.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Going to to get the 3DS version assuming it supports the 3D of the system (don't see why it wouldn't). I just LOVE the look of 2D games with the layers popping out at you.

If not then I'll go with the Switch.

 

[Cleve]

Looks rad, wonder if we'll see a physical release.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Glad to see Fred the Frog makes an appearance. Day 1 for sure.

 

[Nosgotham]

this looks soooo much better than the remake on wiiware.


i loved this game as a kid. even had the book. lol. day 1!!

 

[Pathfinder]

Holy fuck, my body was not ready for this.

 

[Instro]

Definitely the best I saw from the Nindies conference. I wish that had a couple more great exclusives like this.

 

[Coda]

Wow, what a great surprise. Game looks fantastic. Will be a perfect game on the Switch.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Omg! I remember playing this when I was little.

Probably day one barring any very negative impressions

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Looks like a lost GBA sequel with a widescreen aspect ratio. Also looks like the first really all-around solid followup to the original...kinda like what Super Metroid felt like coming from the first (I played Metroid II after SM).

 

[Diablohead]

Going to to get the 3DS version assuming it supports the 3D of the system (don't see why it wouldn't). I just LOVE the look of 2D games with the layers popping out at you.

If not then I'll go with the Switch.

Switch version allows player 2 to shoot like its a lightgun game with a pointer you can move around if you have a buddy to play with.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Aw baby.

 

[fvng]

Zelda didn't convince you but this did?

Yeah not big on Zelda anymore

 

[wondermega]

I'm mostly sure 3DS version won't be full 3D (maybe just some menus and UI stuff) which is extremely disappointing and lame, when they first announced the game they made sure not to mention it - and Inti Creates other 3DS game (volt or whatever) only does it that way sadly. I'll be holding out hope and likely buy it anyway as well but sigh.. they can't all be M2

 

[KodaRuss]

I played so much of this game on NES. Don't believe I ever beat it but I will get this for sure whenever I get a Switch

 

[What The Forest Taught Me]

Yeeeeeeees~

I can not wait for this; I can hardly believe this game is real!

 

[Joei]

well that looks fun

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Man, this looks awesome. I LOVE the NES game.
