Inti Creates and Sunsoft Announced Blaster Master Zero for 3DS
Inti Creates has partnered with Sunsoft and together they announced that they are working on Blaster Master Zero, a new title for 3DS due for spring 2017. We are excited as to how this modernized take on the 1988 NES classic will feel, as we fondly remember the original.
They have released a cool promotional artwork and ton of screenshots which highlight core gameplay as well as showcase its cute 2D graphics. The game will try to emulate that 8-bit glory with some new gameplay elements like extra sub-weapons, improved gameplay when battling outside of your tank, a more robust scenario, refined and expanded exploration mechanics, and much more.
The story goes as follows:
In the near future on planet Earth…
Many kinds of creatures once coexisted on this verdant planet, but after countless wars and untold environmental destruction, the planet was plunged into an ice age, and humanity was left with no choice but to migrate en masse underground.
When the ice age finally came to an end, humanity begin developing methods while they were living underground to one day restore their planet to the lush green landscape it once was. During this time, a large mysterious comet fell to the earth, but the progress of restoring their lost ecosystem was coming along well, and humanity was eventually able to live on the surface once again.
Several hundred years have passed since then.
Enter a young man named Jason Frudnick, a genius in the field of robotic engineering. One day, he came upon a creature he had never seen before. No records of this creature existed, so with his interest in this mysterious creature piqued, Jason named it “Fred” and began to observe it closely. But, after some time had passed it found a way to escape.
Jason gave chase, and before he knew it he had stumbled into the subterranean world where humanity once resided. A large vehicle awaited him there.
Almost as if this vehicle with the name “SOPHIA 3rd” on the side was inviting him in, the door the cockpit opened up. In order to bring Fred back, Jason hopped into SOPHIA 3rd and set out on his adventure.
