Blaster Master: Overdrive announced for WiiWare

Sunsoft 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.

Oh, sunsoft where have you and the time gone? Too bad all the great dev's and publishers of the 80's and early 90's are gone and their IP are being whored around town.

It is really starting to get to me that wiiware is getting better remakes than the consoles I own...

SpoonyRedMage5219d ago

This is a megaton. I'm surprised there's very little interest.

That's quite sad.:(

Anyway so now the Wiiware will have a new Castlevania, Contra, Gradius, Blaster Master, Megaman, Final Fantasy, Bomberman and Sonic!?(I know some of those are multiplatform but meh)

Awesome!

Surprise Video Game Sequels And Reboots (RunDLC)

Being a hardcore gamer (especially one who grew up in the 80s and most of the 90s) means daydreaming about classic franchises that deserve a comeback. Most receive the sequel or reboot treatment, and some of them come out of nowhere. Games like Excitebike: World Rally and Contra ReBirth were expected, but Blaster Master Overdrive? Here are a handful of surprise games we never saw coming.

VGC Review: Blaster Master: Overdrive

VGC writes: "The NES library had masterpieces that defined and molded what we now know as videogames; during its golden age (1988 to be precise), Sunsoft launched a videogame that even today is considered one of the gems of the console. I'm talking about Blaster Master, a game that without being perfect and having one of the best stories of the genre managed to captivate the heart of a generation with its mix of game styles and action in every corner."
