Video: Blaster Master: Overload Announced / Released!

Can I get a "Hell yes!" up in this piece? Seemingly out of nowhere, Sunsoft and Gaijinworks have announced that they will be bringing the classic Blaster Master series to WiiWare with a brand new adventure called Blaster Master: Overdrive. The new WiiWare title includes eight mutant bosses, tons of upgrades for the S.O.P.H.I.A. tank, and tons of nasty bad guys to blow up. All the classic action fans know and love gets represented here as "dungeons" will still occur in top down, shooter-focused caverns and players still cover the ground in between using one of the few fictional tanks that jumps.

I don't know about you, but as big of a fan of Metroidvania styled games, the original NES game is the first one that to really click with me and I've been hooked on the quirky subgenre ever since. Watching the video above brings back a flood of memories and the new art style seems to be keep the original title's look and feel really well (unlike some later installments that just looked 'ugs). I can't wait to give this a spin for myself!

Players can jump back into the only real SUV worth driving starting today and will only set you back 1000 Wii Points.

OH GOD MAKE IT STOP! Stop making me wanna go shell out more money for another gaming system x.x F it, I think this finally takes the cake and I'm going to have to do it today. Glad to see they kept the music, not sure how I feel about that particular remix (but since nobody ever did one on OCR who am I to complain). I just have a very painful spot somewhere in my temples seeing that they brought back the crab boss.....that thing gave me nightmares full of bullet hell shooting when I was a child...
