Blaster Master Zero

Sit around, children, and listen to the story of Blaster Master. Nearly 30 years ago, this Sunsoft gem made NES owners pretty happy, as the road trip meets Contra gameplay was immensly enjoyable. Fast forward all these years, and nobody has quite made the perfect sequel. Some have tried, all have failed, but Blaster Master Zero looks like it may actually have figured out what makes the original so great. The graphics are sharp, the frame rate appears to be smooth, and all of the classic car and ground combat looks as faithful as ever, even down to the 80’s cutscenes. And there is multiplayer and DLC!

Technically, this is a launch title in Japan and coming to the states less than a week later, but the Switch is a region-free console so you could import it if you couldn’t wait six days!
