PS4 users will finally be able to enjoy both Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 soon as announced today by Inti Creates.
Both games will be released for Sony’s console on June 29.
On top of that, we’re also getting physical editions on the same day by Limited Run Games including a Classic Edition with bonus goodies that you can see at the bottom of the post.
As an additional bonus, the physical release will come to Nintendo Switch as well (both games are already available digitally on Switch and Steam and have been for a while).
You can check out the trailer below.
If you’re unfamiliar with the games, you can check out an official description for both below.
Blaster Master Zero
“Blaster Master Zero is a 8-bit style top-down & sideview 2D action-adventure game that hearkens back to the golden age of the NES.
This game was created using the original 1988 title “Blaster Master” from Sunsoft as a base, with the addition of new areas and bosses, new gameplay elements such as extra sub-weapons, improved gameplay, a more robust scenario, refined and expanded exploration mechanics, and more.”
- On the sideview maps, take control of the battle tank SOPHIA III and explore your surroundings as you search for the entrance to the dungeon where the area’s boss lurks.
- Once you find a dungeon entrance, exit SOPHIA III and make your way inside as the hero Jason and take on the mutants that dwell within in top-down mode.
- Defeat the mid-bosses and area bosses to acquire new items, sub-weapons, upgrades to SOPHIA III and Jason’s equipment, and new abilities and maneuvers that allow SOPHIA III to access new areas.
- Player 2 can provide support for Player 1 as they traverse through the game in the co-op multiplayer mode.
Blaster Master Zero 2
“The side-scrolling/top-down hybrid action adventure title “Blaster Master Zero” returns with its long-awaited sequel!
Experience the yet-untold story of Jason and Eve after defeating Earth’s mutant scourge in “Blaster Master Zero” as they venture into the depths of space in their new battle tank, “GAIA-SOPHIA”!After eradicating the Mutant Core in the subterranean depths of planet Earth, Jason’s partner Eve was infected by mutant parasites that have begun to slowly corrupt her body.
They now leave Earth behind and venture to Eve’s home planet Sophia abroad G-SOPHIA in hopes of finding a cure.”
- G-SOPHIA and the Gaia System: When G-SOPHIA falls from great heights or takes damage, the Gaia System converts the impact energy to SP for G-SOPHIA’s weapons and functions.
Strategically traverse many different planets’ terrain to generate SP and maximize the full potential of your battle tank G-SOPHIA! - Jason’s newest ability: BLAST COUNTER: The BLAST COUNTER is a powerful counter-attack Jason can unleash on enemies the moment they attack.
Use the opening created by the COUNTER to unload your main and sub weapons on the defenseless enemy and clear top-down stages with speed and finesse! - Meet new pilots with their own support droids and Metal Attacker battle tanks Jason and Eve meet up with a variety of fellow Metal Attacker pilots and support droids as they journey through outer space.
Will their encounters create new friends and strong bonds, or they make new enemies and face even more strife…?
