[Review] Blaster Master Zero 2
Posted on 5 years ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch (eShop)
Release date: March 20, 2019
Developer: Inti Creates
Publisher: Inti Creates
In March 2017, one week after the release of the Switch, developer Inti Creates and Sunsoft unknowingly kicked off the “Metroidvania on Switch” phenomenon by releasing Blaster Master Zero to an almost empty eShop. The game served as a modern reimagining of the much loved NES classic, and was well-received by fans and newcomers alike for adhering to the source material albeit through a more modern lens. Since then we’ve had genre defining releases like Dead Cells and The Messenger along with countless other interpretations of the formula compete for our attention. It’s fair to say that if you’re a fan of Metroidvanias, then you’ve probably been spending more time on your Switch than you’d like to admit. In the hope that lightning does indeed strike twice and to capitalize on a booming trend, Inti Creates and Sunsoft have now seen fit to grace us with a wholly original sequel, Blaster Master Zero 2.

[Let’s Talk] Your dream Nintendo x indie collaboration
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
This week’s Nindies Showcase ended in a surprising way. Who could have seen a new Crypt of the NecroDancer game coming that stars The Legend of Zelda? But that’s exactly what we’re getting with Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring the Legend of Zelda (certainly a long title, isn’t it?).
Cadence of Hyrule is in many ways a landmark game. We haven’t really seen Nintendo offer up one of its IPs to an indie developer before. This sort of announcement makes you wonder what else could be possible in the future. Now that the gates have opened, what types of collaborations would you like to see between Nintendo and other indie titles in the future? What would be the game and who would be the developer? Let us know about the ideas you have in the comments below.
