Wow this is great. I own the first game and was thinking of grabbing the 2nd but will hold off for the trilogy. Hope it gets a retail release.

 

[ghairat]

Can someone tell me the name of the announcer? He sounds like the announcer from SNK

 

[Pejo]

Hell yea, really enjoyed the first two.

 

[KiteGr]

I just got those!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I loved the first one and didn't even realize there was a second.

 

[joedan]

The second was one of the first fames I got for Switch. Was enjoyable and I reached pretty deep into it. However I got lost on some map and started playing another game and never got around to picking it back up. May now need to revisit it.

 

[Andyliini]

This reminds me I still have not played Blaster Master Zero 2.

 

[fatty]

Currently playing Blaster Master Zero for the Switch. Liking it but seems a little easier than the NES original.

Sunsoft was such a great 3rd party developer back then, right up there with Konami and Capcom.

 

[Saber]

Interesting. i don't like the narrator though.

 

[namekuseijin]

Wow, it's like the 80s again!

meh

 

[Hulk_Smash]

I loved the first one and didn't even realize there was a second.

Same! How did this slip by us? I think we’re getting too old.

 

[johntown]

I loved the first one and didn't even realize there was a second.

I'm in the same boat. Not sure how I missed the second one? This one looks great!

 

[peronmls]

I need another MegaMan Zero game with a rock'n soundtrack.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Shit, I got confused and thought this was a new "Math Blaster" game.

 

[AJUMP23]

These games are a great follow up to the NES original. I think they are a lot easier than the original, or more forgiving, but that makes them enjoyable too.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

All over the trilogy collection Day one as i haven't played 1 or 2 yet!!!

That announcer in the US trailer above is probably the worst i have ever heard.....GAG!

 

[Gallard]

Who's playing this game?

What the hell is with the mechanic where the more injured you get the weaker your guns get?

"We notice you haven't been doing so well, so let's make it even harder."

 

[Ceadeus]

I just got those!

How did you get those? Are they from limited run?

This hearkens back to the original 1988 Blaster Master. Kinda like black world tendency before Demon's Souls.

Unfortunately the only way to get the physical PS4 version of BMZ3 is via fairly expensive import. But I like the cover art, and it's a trilogy collection, so at least you get all three games:

[JimboJones]

Is that some camel toe action on that cover art?

Limited Run.
The recent 3rd was also available about a month ago, though I won't see shipped for half a year.

 

[Captain Toad]

Why aren't these on Xbox? I get a bunch of JRPGs and stuff that go the Switch + PC, route, but this seems like it would fit great on Xbox or GamePass.

 

[PleaseWaitStation4]

Ahh, Burasta Masta

 

[Holammer]

I bought 1 & 2 at release, even DLC and haven't found time to play either. I'll chillax with the third and get it later.
Gotta support pixel art and games featuring potted plants with giant melons.

So how this game fairs? Recently got interested.

I remembered this game a few days ago, I even watched a few gameplay walkthrough videos here and there. The music sounds nice, I'm not just entirelly sure on the rest. Feels ok, so anyone who played and can give me an imput I would appreciate.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

In my wishlist since release but i have no time to play all these games.

 

[_Ex_]

Limited Run.

In the west, yes. But the Playasia physical release I linked is not a Limited Run production.

They are on Xbox.

 

[Captain Toad]

They are on Xbox.

Oh. Thread just left it off?

 

[Isa]

I've got these games across Switch, PS4 and Xbox most recently, but I'm replaying the first two before I hop into the third. They are good fun, nice art and music. Plus the preorder price was fair.

 

[Calverz]

I really enjoyed blaster master zero on the switch. I might try getting the sequel on Xbox or ps5 with the better controllers.
