Blaster Master Zero is your natural choice after Zelda on Switch

If you bought a Nintendo Switch, you probably bought The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (read our review of Zelda and the Switch). I don’t think that’s a wild assumption. But beyond that, it’s tough to guess the second game people are going to buy, and that is creating an opportunity for some indie developers looking to score big with people wanting to get software for their new Nintendo console.

Blaster Master Zero from developer Inti Creates is one of the games that could have a successful debut because it is an ideal fit for the Switch hardware. This Blaster Master sequel is an all new game, but it features the original visual style and mechanics of 1988’s Blaster Master from publisher Sunsoft. It is similar to how Capcom, working with Inti Creates, returned to the Mega Man franchise with Mega Man 9 using 8-bit-style graphics and gameplay that looked ripped from the Nintendo Entertainment System in 2008. Blaster Master Zero will debut on the Switch in the Americas on March 9.
