That would be amazing!
It's a bit anime cheese sure but it's ever so slight reference to the Meta Fight japanese version.
No. There is no excuse for cat knee pads.

Looks good. I particularly like that there's a direction lock on shooting in the top-down sequences (did the original Blaster Master have that? don't recall it too well), strafing/dodging while moving is often a frustration point in old-school top-down shooter games and I appreciate when they take firing control into consideration.

Not quite. From what Matt Papa of IntiCreates has said, this is something of a part remake, part reimagining. Which a lot of stuff is definitely taken from the original game, it goes off in new directions very quickly. We'll see just how extensive the differences are in a few days.

Excited for this. Grew up playing blaster master a lot. I think it was my 3rd NES game I ever got.
Nothing but Azure Striker Gunvolt was only ported to Steam and I'm fairly sure the WiiWare Blaster Master remained exclusive.

It's exclusively on Switch and 3DS. So only those platforms.

I don't understand how this makes sense on any business level. At least a boy and his blob came out on PS, too many other wii games never got ports.
Looking at you Lost in Shadow
PR speak is a science, if you say the 'launch' is exclusive, that leaves the possibility for other platforms.
PlayStation isn't the end all and be all.
Edit:
Damon was clear when things were timed exclusive. It could come to other platforms but it doesn't seem its planned to.
the word 'planned' also has no meaning

Holy hell, $10? This should be the new standard. IN
I had the exact same thought. Played the everloving crap out of that game and would love a remake/sequel/prequel/whatever

God is real. Buying for $10 day 1 but hoping for a physical release later.
Puyo Puyo Tetris, Super Bomberman R, and Ultra Street Fighter 2 already had me sweating for a good time, now this? Switch purchase feeling more and more justified.

During the conference they did specify games/content that were timed exclusive, this was not one of them. I mean it's theoretically possible, but probably only for PC at some point down the line.

Oh my god
Can you elaborate? I'm just saying I'm glad Blob came out on other platforms, I said PS because that's where else it appeared as far as I know

Definitely Vocational. I had to be a Journeyman Blaster for quite a few years until I could finally call myself a Master Blaster.

I just looked up the wiiware version.... wow
The excuse is that its fun. Sorry that you are boring
I just have better taste than you.
Weird as high heels and a tail too? I'm surprised they went with vaguely rabbit ear looking ribbons instead of cat one. Pure Trash.
Edit: OH SHIT!? Useless goggles? How far can they go?

*RANT/SIDE-NOTE*
Indies have tried a few times to do The Guardian Legend (and WayForward once tried to make a game influenced by TGL) and all have failed to bring the Guardian back.
Not sure if there's a license/rights issue or if the brand holders just aren't interested, but it'd make me so happy if Compile's shooter brands some day made a return the way say River City/Kunio-kun has blissfully been resurrected.
Tragic. Guardian Legend is absolutely my favorite game ever, but it's never been rescued/remade. Apparently Milestone Inc. held some the remnants of the SHMUP side of TGL developer Compile (every game made by the other Compile offshoot, Compile Heart, breaks my spirits a little bit), but they've never really made a Guardian Legend / Aleste / MUSHA / ZANAC type of shooter to my knowledge. (I'm mostly familiar with MileStone for its bullet-hell games, which are interesting as SHMUPs but the Compile-style of challenge and enemy design was special and I really wish they could explore it some time, if not fully invest in a shooter/adventure game again some day to rival/revive The Guardian Legend.
Blaster Master gives us all hope.
(EDIT - To clarify, MileStone is a dead company now, so no go there. But for a deeper dive on this tangent of Compile shooters and TGL, check out @MUWANdo's post:

Isn't Milestone Inc. closed (according to Wikipedia)?
