Item Description

A frog hops down a hole, a boy chases it in a tank, and an underground world full of mutants opens up beneath them. Sunsoft's Blaster Master had one of the strangest setups on the NES, and Inti Creates' Blaster Master Zero rebuilds it for a new generation, drawing on the original game, its Japanese Famicom counterpart Metafight and even the Worlds of Power novelization to tell a fuller version of Jason Frudnick's adventure.

The two-sided structure that made the original memorable is fully intact. In the side-scrolling stages you pilot the tank SOPHIA III, rolling, jumping and blasting through sprawling, interconnected areas, then hop out to explore on foot. Step through certain doorways and the view shifts to top-down dungeon crawls where Jason battles with his blaster, its gun level climbing with every power-up you collect and dropping each time he takes a hit. New tank upgrades open paths you could not reach before, so each area keeps unfolding as you return with more tools, a dose of Metroid-style backtracking in 8-bit clothes.

Inti Creates added plenty of its own ideas: new areas, an expanded arsenal of sub-weapons for both SOPHIA and Jason, and Eve, a mysterious android ally, whose arrival gives the story more heart than the NES version ever had. Reach the final boss and the game is not quite finished with you, because a true ending waits for players who dig deeper, tied to Eve's fate. The chunky pixel art and chiptune-style soundtrack capture the look and sound of a late-NES classic with modern polish, and on Switch a second player can join in by controlling an aiming reticle to help clear the screen.

Zero kicked off a trilogy, followed by Blaster Master Zero 2 and Blaster Master Zero 3, and this first game is the cleanest way into that saga. Players who grew up with the NES cartridge will enjoy spotting what changed, and newcomers get a Sunsoft cult favorite remade by a studio that clearly adores it.
