Shawn Evans writes, "When you get to be my age, you tend to look back on your early gaming years with a sense of nostalgia. I yearn to return to those days of innocence when all it took was two buttons and a directional pad to play games. One title from my youth that holds a special place in my heart is the NES classic Blaster Master.
I have fond memories of the critically acclaimed mix of side-scrolling platforming and overhead shooter gameplay that made the game so popular back in the day. When Sunsoft announced it was releasing a spiritual successor to it on WiiWare, entitled Blaster Master Overdrive, I was extremely excited to have a chance to relive my childhood. Sometimes though, it's best to leave those fond memories of your youth in the past."

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.

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."
I don't care what the score is, I'm going to buy it. This game harks all the way to my childhood too!
What a HUGE disappointment. :-(
Yet another WiiWare game nobody should/will buy. Hooray!
I dislike unnecessarily difficult games. This is one of those.
Sucks to be a wii owner.
