Topic: Blaster Master™ Overdrive Headed To WiiWare Monday!

[Jericho]

Redding, CA – February 6, 2010 – SUNSOFT, a division of SUNCORPORATION (JASDAQ: 6736), has today announced that BLASTER MASTER™:OVERDRIVE will be available in North America on February 8th for WiiWare.

BLASTER MASTER™:OVERDRIVE is an action-shooting game that takes place on an Earth infected by an aggressive, polymorphic virus. Poor, defenseless animals worldwide infected by the virus have been turned into flesh-eating, hemoglobin-swilling terrors. Fortunately, the world has Alex. And, even more coincidentally, he happens to be one of the world’s foremost biologists - specializing in viral mutation profiles and genetic manipulation.

Every studious biologist facing imminent global annihilation needs a sweet ride, and Alex is no exception. He has S.O.P.H.I.A., a shape-shifting, gas-guzzling, projectile-spewing paean to destruction on four wheels. Things look grim, but with Alex and S.O.P.H.I.A. on the case, the world just may have a chance.

Gameplay in BLASTER MASTER™:OVERDRIVE retains the critically acclaimed format of the original NES BLASTER MASTER™, alternating between side-scrolling platforming in S.O.P.H.I.A. and overhead-perspective blasting and exploration when controlling Alex. Upgrades for S.O.P.H.I.A. must be collected to access progressively more challenging terrain and a total of eight distinct areas. Each area features a mutant boss that must be defeated to progress.

The sublime blend of side-scrolling shooting/platforming mixed with overhead perspective action/shooting areas is just as addictive now as it was in the original game. The game is rated E10 for Mild Fantasy Violence and can be purchased from the Wii Store online for 1000 Wii points beginning February 8th, 2010.

As with the BLASTER MASTER NES Virtual Console release, fans are encouraged to improve their skills completing this game so they can compete and win in a coming promotion that will test their skill for collectible prizes.

I'm not all that excited to be honest.

I'll still give this a try, I did like the old Blaster Master.

[Protoman Blues]

I loved the original, so I can't wait!

[VixyNyan]

I'm excited~ I mean, it's Blaster Master, and the NES Main Theme was awesome!

I'll go "download" the game somewhere until the Japanese one shows up.

I'm having fun with the game now. It has save points inside the Gates, a Map with the - button.
And you have 3 weapons. A laser buster, homing bubbles and a rocket launcher.
You can find permanent upgrades for your HP and things like that.
You will lose weapon upgrades when you get hit, like the original game.

I love this game. ^^b

[Acid]

Streaming it?

[Protoman Blues]

I will definitely get this eventually.

I made a video real quick. Beating the first boss too. ^^
