VC - Blaster Master Needed
« on: January 03, 2007, 08:45:43 AM »
This has to be on of my favorites of all time (Next to Kid Icarus).  This would be a definite plus to the VC and a worthwhile download for myself.  What do you think?


PS. Not to mention the other classics: Bionic Commando, Gumshoe, TMNT etc :p

I'd take it if for no other reason than to be able to beat the game in more than one sitting.  You really had to devote some time to beating it long time ago.

Back in the NES days, my game selection wasn't as Nintendo-centric as it has been since the Super NES and onwards.  Blaster Master is among the NES games I have, and it rocks.

(Its four sequels suck...forget Blaster Master Boy, Blaster Master 2 is pure garbage, Enemy Down Below just seemed like a GBC adaptation of the NES game but seemed weak and I don't know much about Blasting Again on the PSX but it can't be that good if I never heard about it 'til recently.)

I even have the Worlds Of Power book (which isn't canon, or wasn't, until Blasting Again, apparently).

But man, that game was hard.  It took like a year to beat after getting it.

If you don't know what this game is, you might want to give it a try.  How would you describe it?  It's like a vehicular retraversal game.  You know, like 2D Metroid/recent 2D CastleVania but with a vehicle.  There are maps of four of the worlds made by my brother here.

I agree that it's needed, but I'm still not paying $5 for a 20 year old NES game.

I will scoop this game up the second they release it.  I never completely beat it back in the day but I got very close.  If only some mutated frog could lead me to a hole in the ground with a giant tank.

Jon you forgot to mention the on foot battles where you get an overhead view of your character after you enter doors.

This game was too tough for me to beat back in the day...

I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Easily worth 500 wii points, easily worth more.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I could go for that. I could also go for Crystalis and EarthBound.
