How does this stand in the list of good metroidvanias?
How does this stand in the list of good metroidvanias?
Levi Cooper
Jace Young
Calling Blaster Master a metroidvania is a bit...eh.
Blaster Master is sorta it's own thing.
The Inti approach, as usual, is fun, polished, and weeb as fuck.
Both their entries are fun and worth the money, but i wouldn't approach them like you're approaching a metroidvania, thi isn't hollow knight or fucking SOTN and such.
They're very arcadey games.
Josiah Harris
the genre was under metroidvania so i assumed it was something along the lines of SOTN. Are there no upgrades then?
Jayden Hughes
I don't think is counts as "metroidvania" but is good because you avoid the usual intigames bullshit.
Isaac Cox
There are
Hudson Allen
I think he means the way the world design works is kinda stage-based arenas spread across an overworld.
Connor Gonzalez
it's different from what you might expect.
good though
Christopher Collins
No! Is fucking shit! And Jason is shit! He is the worst MC ever!
Jaxon Miller
Oh neat the MC has the same name as me now its really a self insert
Jayden Turner
indeed. that waifu saving asshole
Blake Cruz
Picture: the typical Gunvolt player after beating all the games.
Ryan Stewart
his yugioh duel disc is so funny
Jayden Fisher
how angry can one guy get
Connor Murphy
im loading up the first game now i cant wait to see why he is so angry with me...
Levi Edwards
He lost his waifu, that can destroy a man and change him completely. Look at Zero, he used to be cocky and hotblooded, then Iris happened and he became serious and stoic.
Parker Morales
>First game.
He is from the second game.
Easton Harris
you'll see him in the sequel
try that one out too if you like the first
Lincoln Rivera
true
but he takes it to quite a level
Aaron Perez
In his case is insanity and unjustified rage against everyone.
Nolan Stewart
Two juicy melons out of 2
Ethan Carter
I wonder how his waifu was, she must have been at real cutie, maybe draw by the Gunvolt's artist...which would explain why she died.
Owen Cox
was a nice girl
still helps you out
Nicholas Martinez
Except that girl is not his waifu, is someone else who is called like the original girl from the original blaster master zero. Her companion also is called like the original MC but you don't find him, just his broken blaster after killing a giant mutant...
Isaiah Kelly
my mistake
we don't see Lucia.
and that girl is Elfie named after the protagonists of Blasting Again
Dominic Bell
Imagine what holding hands with Elfie would've been like
Luke Stewart
I imagine Lucia was small, with short hair and personality of "fucking adorable immature little girl". That is the type of girl nobody can resist and losing that would explain why Leibniz is fucking insane.
Hudson Nelson
When are we going to get his game? Did BMZ2 bombed or something?
Elijah Parker
HES IN.
real talk these games are great. though a touch lacking in substance.
Grayson Barnes
Would he hate Copen?
Luis Nelson
This guy is the chad to Gunvolt's inceness and Copen's edgyness.
Nathan Smith
Blaster Master: Prime
Anthony Jones
Who does that hate Copen?
Jaxon Harris
oh god
Josiah Lopez
must have been pretty close indeed. and now that we have seen ghost elfie. maybe we'll see her in a similar way in a sequel
Caleb Lewis
I really wanted to play more missions with Eve.
Nathaniel Young
THIS
FUCKING GAME HAS FUCKING FALL DAMAGE
FUCK THAT FAGGOT GAME, PLAY A REAL GOD DAMN METROIDVANIA LISTERALLY ANY GOD DAMN ONE IS BETTER JUST ABOUT
FUCKS SAKES WHY NOT PLAY AN ACTUAL GOD TIER ONE LIKE ENVIORNMENTAL STATION ALPHA!?
FUUUUCK HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED HOLLOW KNIGHT YOU STUPID NIGGER!? GOD DAMN
Whatever you do, you stay far away from La-mulana if you know what's good for you.
Kayden Jones
Dammit, get this guy a new waifu, fast!
Luke Scott
Get Jason into the Gunvolt's universe, I am sure he can find a solution that doesn't involve killing cute girls.
Logan Green
from a recent interview
nintendoeverything.com
some blaster master zero talk
Moving on from the Gunvolt series, we wanted to ask about some other games in the Inti Creates family. During a Nindies Showcase earlier this year, you surprised and delighted fans by announcing and immediately releasing Blaster Master Zero 2. What was the process like of getting a brand new game like that ready for the presentation, launching it right after its reveal, and keeping it a secret all the while?
>First thing’s first, if you’re going to release a game on a Nintendo platform, if at all possible you always want to be able to get your game announced on either a Nintendo Direct or a Nindies Direct or have Nintendo’s official social media kind of back up your announcement with doing it on like their Twitter and Facebook and stuff like that. So when you’re planning to release a game on a Nintendo platform, that is always something you want to aim for.
>As you may remember, the original Blaster Master announcement was a launch-day title in Japan, and less than a week after launch for North America. When it comes to announcing the sequel, once we learned there was going to be a possibility of a Direct happening in March for basically the two-year anniversary of the Switch and by proxy Blaster Master Zero, we thought, “Oh man, it would be so cool to announce and release the next game in the Blaster Master series for the two-year anniversary.” But you know, if you’re going to get the support of having this in the Direct, you basically would have to announce it and release it pretty much at the same time.
Easton Lopez
Can you discuss how Blaster Master Zero 2 has sold on Switch?
>If you look at how Blaster Mater Zero 1 went, when that game came out there was a very small amount of users on the Switch, so sales were kind of like a slow progress, and then of course we released DLC for Blaster Master Zero 1, so that continued to kind of make a slow upward trend for that. Obviously if you compare it to the sales of Blaster Master Zero 1 which has been out for over two years, obviously it does not quite have the amount of sales it does yet, but it’s kind of trending in the same way that Blaster Master Zero 1 has at this point in time.
Are there any plans for DLC for Blaster Master Zero 2?
>How things work at Inti Creates and maybe this is a little different from other studios, the way we decide if we’re going to decide if we’re going to do something like DLC, it’s not a decision that comes from management that goes to the team and says, “Hey, you gotta make this DLC.” If the team itself and particularly the director says, “I really want to make this DLC. I really want to do this thing. I really want to do that.” – that’s where a lot of our decisions come from. Basically, it’s from the team up, not so much from the top down. If the team decides, “Hey, we really want to do this really cool DLC,” then we’ll find the most appropriate time and place to make that announcement.
Isaac Cooper
Given the success of the Blaster Master Zero titles, could we see Inti Creates team up with Sunsoft again in the future on another IP revival?
>I definitely think it is a possibility for sure. Again, this kind of goes back to what we were saying before, a lot of those decisions would come from if some our staff – particularly our directors – say, “Hey, I really want to make a game using X Sunsoft IP or Y Sunsoft IP.” Then I as the producer would be able to go to Sunsoft and say, “Hey, we want to do this game. What do you think?” and kind of do that negotiation part. Is it possible? Yes. And then, it would really come down to if one of our directors wants to make a game using a Sunsoft IP. That would be the first step in something like that.
Lincoln Baker
Remember to support Inti.
This is coming out at the end of this month, it needs to sell.
Wyatt Russell
get the feeling dlc isn't happening
Mason Morgan
Already preordered.
Joseph Howard
>Jason defeats all without killing them somehow
>gets a harem offered to him
>declines it because waifu loyalty
Elijah Bell
The ultimate chad
Jackson Evans
NO! Fuck inti! Fuck their obsession with killing cute girls! And fuck Copen!
Nolan Morris
Bump
Jacob Price
FUCK adepts!
Jordan Baker
this game looks really fucking good I hadn't heard about it until now im excited
Landon Davis
Inti should go bankrupt
Eli Flores
Your sister is one.
Juan Robinson
I'm impressed that this thread can go on without mentioning "her".
Logan Cook
I guess Copen will just have to fuck his sister then
Christian Thomas
with a blaster a girl can't ignore
Dylan Phillips
And "cope" with the nasty truth about his day if he ever learns it.
Jacob Sanchez
I fucking HATE that his design is so fucking close to being perfect. If he didn't have that retarded fucking rudder on his helmet, this would be a genuine 10/10 design.
Carson Wood
>Day
I mean Dad.
Lucas Young
It is good, you might even say it's Inti flagship IP right now.
Some GV2 Copen gameplay to show how fun he is (and he'll be even better in the new game):
William Gomez
The DLC stuff was neat but honestly I'd rather get Zero 3 sooner if possible.
Christian Reed
would picking this up be a good idea to get myself into the gunvolt series? i dont mind dropping $15 on the switch version but is there any pc port i could possibly pirate to hold me over until the new one?
Carson Taylor
Nah just wait for Luminous Avenger iX and go in that directly.
It's coming out in like 1 week and a half.
Luminous Avenger iX is in an "alternate reality", sorta.
Playing the previous games would help with the plot but it's also sort of a blank slate in some ways.
Wyatt Gutierrez
cool ill just wait for the new one then. The first one was on steam so im gonna try and find a crack of it somewhere online thanks for showing me this game user
Aaron Cox
Keep in mind the first game doesn't have playable Copen tho.
Ian Ward
does the first game play at all like that video?
Asher Morgan
if they don't have clear plans for dlc. they might as well move on to zero 3 instead of forcing dlc
Kevin Hill
Same here. Blaster Master has been the best stuff Inti has been doing lately in my opinion.
Levi Powell
In the first game you can only play as Gunvolt himself.
He plays much more slowly and is less fun to move around.
His gameplay consists in "tagging" enemies with his gun and then holding a button to electrocute them.
He's ok, some people like playing as him, personally i find him boring.
Easton Reyes
get the impression blaster master probably didn't get the best sales
sadly underrrated
Justin King
Reminder Jason is a mega chad among chads.
Connor Cook
of course
Samuel Roberts
bullying leibniz
Jacob Gomez
This series really deserves to be more popular.
Samuel Morris
I've only played the original, but the formula is this:
- You go through a open-ended level, find the boss.
- When you kill the boss, you get an upgrade that'll allow you to access a new part of the level that'll lead to a new area.
- You might have to backtrack to a previous level to find the next area you need to go to.
It's been a while since I've played, but I don't recall there being that much in the level in terms of collectables/powerups.
Ian Lewis
yeah
Julian Jackson
The problem is that while Copen is more fun to play as he is also a complete piece of shit and it is very hard to root for him compared to Gunvolt
David Hughes
So how are they going to make GV suffer this time?
Adam Watson
He is already suffering as he is not the main character of his own series anymore.
Brandon Reed
Quite wrong actually.
For a week or so, the game was actually on the bestseller charts on the eShop at about #10.
Though that's probably not saying much given that it was a game that debuted on a Nindie and was riding the waves of controversy and melons.
Logan Morgan
>For a week or so
>at about #10.
yeah... still not the best of sales
Brody Kelly
>mobility on par with the MMZ games, except this guy has a really long air dash
>kills things by ramming them and then blasting them to shit with his drone things
And to think i dropped this series after beating gunvolt 1 once, the way gunvolt handled felt clunky and slow and his way of killing things (tag them up to three times with your gun, then slowly electrocute them to death) was so boring that i didn't even bother to get the true ending. Does copen also have a muse that sometimes makes him invincible after getting knocked out once? Cause that's s shitty mechanic with no drawbacks.
Mason Ward
It's weird how in a game with a big meloned plant girl the main girl manages to be the best.
Evan Foster
Examples?
Jack Edwards
I amm crashing this party and stealing Eve spot as the main girl
Jayden Stewart
Eli Sanders
Blaster Master 0 2:
Eve catches the Space AIDS
Samuel Fisher
more like... mutant corruption
Christian Perez
space AIDS
William Jackson
>that hand
Imagine
Michael Wright
Played through it recently, and this game is to Blaster Master what Metroid: Zero Mission is to Metroid. A remake that improves upon the original in almost every way; it improves upon it so much that there's really no reason to go back and play the original.
Xavier Jones
This is blessed plant thread now.
David Cook
imagine eating her cooking instead
Jonathan Smith
Reminder: this mutant corruption gave eve bigger tits.
Camden James
I'd rather not be on my death bed thank you very much.
Brody Hughes
jason cannot stop winning
he just can't
Joseph Stewart
faggot
Kevin Miller
That boy put in the work. He earned his happy ending and waifu.
Juan Diaz
Just look at that massive increase
>tears through Earth looking for a cure so hard he breaks the super tank
>proceeds to go on a journey to a distant planet while solving everyones problems just to cure his girl
He certainly did.
Jeremiah Bennett
Over the years I've become a stereotypical tired gamer with very little motivation to play, but BMZ 1+2 were games I couldn't put down. I really hope they keep making more.
Wyatt Hernandez
Eve went from this:
Aiden Foster
indeed
he is just a caring guy for his girl
Noah Barnes
To this:
also kitty kat kneepads :3
Gavin Hernandez
>progress through the game even slightly
>autistically have to check in on eve
Dylan Wood
Thank goodness BMZ2 has eve fall asleep to let the player know she’s got nothing more to say at the moment.
Ryan Collins
Eve's virus was a blessing and a blessing.
Noah Myers
and eventually this
Charles Peterson
cuddle all eves
Aaron Ramirez
of course
Dominic Rivera
hi Jason
Chase Anderson
Are the games up on sale on switch or something?
Christopher Flores
no
only cost 10 bucks anyway i believe
Parker Taylor
>Mfw even inti knows who put Blaster Master on the fucking map.
Bless this Ayy plant and her funbags.
Samuel Cox
is the sequel any better?
that game was bland as FUCK
I beat it, watched the credits, and completely forgot about it after five minutes
Angel Rivera
Ethan Brown
I really liked the first game when I played it on the 3DS, I was waiting for a phsyical edition compiling both the first one and the sequel but that seems quite unlikely now so I will end up buying 2 digitally quite soon I guess.
Do you guys think they will release a third one? they don't seem too expensive to make.
Adrian Rogers
Elfie was the assist co-pilot to Roddy. Both are call backs to Blaster Master Blasting Again, where the protaganists are Elfie & Roddy, who were the children of Jason & Eve (the stars of the original game)
Lucas Russell
I'm a big fan of Inti, and am eagerly waiting for iX but I simply cant play this or mighty gunvolt no matter how good they are.
Guess why
Jordan Ortiz
that side character ended up hugely popular for a good month
Nicholas Ross
>gets busted as fuck Wave Gun and SOPHIA ZERO - an extremely busted as fuck tank compared to III
>both get nerfed hard
>but in turn, get a Chad cape and swag counter that lets you go fast
>skillset also can't be understood by brainlets, so they have to actually git gud to progress in-game
>also waifu somehow becomes even cuter and sexier than before even with space AIDS
>go through hell and back to save waifu
>waifu also goes through hell and back to save you
>it's canon that you impregnate your android waifu
>acquire edgelord retarded rival with a sick ass design, a farmboy ally, plant tiddy ally, and gigachad ally that has a cute loli partner
Yeah I'm thinking he's based.
Jose Davis
The best fucking thing the sequel does is that you can damage people with your gun now, and it's GOOD damage too. It's like running around with an uzi.
That tag and shock shit was MN9 dash attack to finish levels of retarded, they patched in being able to do damage with tags into the original gunvolt on switch and it became an infinitely better game for it
Adrian Thompson
Kill all melons!
Asher Anderson
X
Hunter Ortiz
Already pre ordered
Anthony Torres
>Official art have a lot of cute girls in it
Nothing will happen to them this time, right?
Zachary Rivera
series will only be good when you can play as Leibnis, win and reee at waifufags, the true INTI way to do things.
Jackson Evans
Christopher Perez
Cute, now if only someone would draw eve spraying kanna with weed killer
Aaron Carter
Irrelevant after the 2nd game.
Luis Taylor
I'm glad to see my thread survived the night before it gets archived post more BMZ webms kp
