Blaster Master Zero: Reviving a Retro Classic
Time to Master our Blasters with a retrospective I've been planning on for a while. Today we're gonna dive into the entire Blaster Master Zero series (plus quickly go through the other titles)! I was told that this trilogy offered the pinnacle of Inti Creates design, but I was unsure if that could really be true? Afterall, I was never the craziest for the original Blaster Master. However, I'm glad to say that this series is actually peak of 2D action gaming!

Falling to Obscurity - A Crystal Chronicles Retrospective

This retrospective is a compilation of my prior 3 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles videos. If you have seen the 3 individual parts, there shouldn't be anything new here. I only made minor changes.

      You're right on Blasting Again. I moreso mentioned it for the bit. It's been a year now since I read the novel, but I don't believe she ever changed hair color? I word searched the PDF of it and didn't find anything for "Blonde" or "Gold" and anytime the words "hair" was used it was the one time to describe Eve's as red, or to say something like "Jason's arm hair spiked in fear". So more likely than not the team making Blasting Again just wanted to change it.

So damned satisfying 😌 I love it even more since you've enlightened me to how much work they put into integrating both the Japanese and US versions of the story!

    Dunno if it was mentioned but the original NES Blaster Master also has a strafe function, if you hold the bomb button you would lock Jason in that direction. Of course that meant holding the one button down the whole time when pressing the other to shoot while also moving back and forth but with practice it was doable.

I swear to God if Card en Ciel gives us A BS ending then I'm gonna be so mad at this company if they only give Jason a happy ending lol. I mean yeah technically it isn't a happy ending but I mean come on he gets to smash eve and eve is the only woman to say I love you in any of these games so that's a victory and I hope they keep that victory for when Card en Ciel drops. Still a very solid trilogy though let's hope they don't make a fourth game and then somehow screw it all up. I don't want another mega man Zero 4 accident.

    So I've seen Blaster Master before, but it's never truly appealed to me until I first played BMZ1 on the 3DS and effectively went through it seven times (!) thanks to the dlc characters, difficulty modes and so on.

    Ok, you convinced me, Neo-Human Casshan is the next series in my list I just wish you spoiled a bit less of Casshern Sins, of course, I'm partially to blame here by not stopping when I saw that you wouldn't hold that much on Sins, but I assumed the video was to convince people to watch, which is, but I wish the approach was a bit more subtle on the spoilers, course, I may be completely wrong and you actually held on a lot of spoilers for Sins, but things like Leda being preggers, Luna being a false savior and such, I definitely wish that I could learn that myself, oh well, hopefully I'll forget about most of it with a 35 episode series and 4 ovas before Sins Also, I definitely think you should do more anime videos, Tetsuwan Atom 2003, Pluto and Atom the Beginning all are great interpretations that build and change a lot of Osamu Tezuka's original Atom, I would love to see an in-depth video about that as well, although seeing how this video probably bombed the fuck over your analytics, I wouldn't hold my breath over it, I do hope you don't give up the idea tho

I absolutely wanna do more anime videos. The next video I'm doing is a looser, general anime topic rather than a series, and then the next anime video would probably be something popular I'm into.

    You have to ask, does the semi-canon appearance of Jason in the iX2 DLC take place before the final area of BMZ3 or does it take place after (meaning he and Eve found a way to leave super dimensional space)? Also, the end of BMZ3 talks about Lightning Beings, which I thought was apart of the original Blaster Master lore in some way.

    I'm really glad someone made a video on this trilogy because I think its overall incredible. I never grew up with the older Blaster Master games, but I got BMZ 1 around when the Switch launched, and tbh I didn't really think that much of it at the time, I beat it and got the normal ending and thought it was okay. A few years later ProtonJon did a pretty comprehensive lets play of BMZ 1. He ended up bringing up the backstories of Metafight and the NES Blaster Master and how they were kind of combined for BMZ 1. And with the context he added in his lets play (along with allowing me to see the true ending of BMZ 1) I appreciate BMZ 1 a lot more, and he also mentioned toward the end of that lets play that a sequel had already been released on the switch. I played BMZ 2 and loved it and coincidentally, like a week after I finished BMZ 2, Blaster Master Zero 3 came out so I bought and played that game day one and I absolutely adored BMZ 3 and was especially blown away by the true ending sequence. Its kind of sad that even to this day I don't see too many people talking about this trilogy because I ended up falling in love with it after admittedly not really clicking with the first game. Shoutouts to Protonjon for his really good lets play of the first game (I really wish he'd do a lets play of BMZ 2 and 3 but he doesn't really seem to do lets plays anymore). And thank you NovaZone for this retrospective. I hope the youtube algorith blesses this retrospective and puts new eyes on this amazing trilogy. Because I think these games deserve more love than they have gotten.

    man, Inti -almost- never misses, thanks for making me into yet another series that I was looking from afar to finally play, finally some brand new series for me to get really deep into, which btw, I got all S+ on Copen's side of GV2, you are the one responsible for this, thank you so so much for your video on GV, for making me give it a 4th attempt at getting into it, and finally doing so, finally getting GV offtopic, have you ever played Sin and Punishment? and if so, would you consider making a video? I think it would fit your channel perfectly, an obscure duology of games from a mostly dead game genre from one of the greatest developers of the fifth generation, that being their first ever attempt on said genre, plus also being the best game of said genre (1 that is, 2 is great, but by reasons that only those who played 1 on medium and hard attempting to 1CC it will now, 2 doesn't quite live up to 1 in a lot of ways); it all just fits your channel imo, the purest of arcade fun, a batshit insane but also beautiful story that is condensed to less than 15 minutes of in-game cutscenes and almost 30 minutes of backstory, and being completely obscure one last thing, thanks for the videos man, for real, great in-depth gameplay analysis for junkies like me, great story analysis for nerds like me, great choice of games that I would take a loooong time to actually give a shot (BM as the main example) or would just give up never understanding their greatness (the GV series, with 2 being at my top games of all time), your great narration, all of it adds to me always smilling at your channel notifications, thanks for the good work mate, I'm excited to see more of it

      Always love getting people into obscure stuff! I'm pretty confident I've gotten quite a few people onto the Inti Creates train at this point! I haven't played Sin & Punishment but I've always been curious since Smash Bros. Brawl (Like I'm sure most westerners). I'm not gonna say I'll look at it anytime soon, but I won't say no either.

      ​@@NovaZoneTV nice, any bit of hope is enough for me, do try to 1CC (1 Credit Clear)1 on medium if you ever get to play it, imo it's the best way to enjoy the game, as all stages are more or less tutorials with gates in between them until the final stage (example of 1-1 you'll mostly learn how to aim and walk if you want to get the score bonuses, and 1-2 you'll mostly learn to aim better at multiple small enemies while keeping in track what happens in the foreground, so that in 2-1 all of that is put to practice with 2 bosses that make use of exactly that, and a stage that is basically 1-1 and 1-2 on steroids, another example is 2-2 being literally a gate that will gameover your ass if you can't learn to aim and shoot with the manual aim, afaik, it is impossible to pass that part with auto aim, which is later on brought back for the last stage in the game, everything is just tutorials disguised as normal stages and bosses, which is amazing), wouldn't ever recommend that for 2 because, if you ever play I'm sure you'll understand it
