The first reboot, '' Blaster Master: Overdrive'', was released in 2010 and intended to "rebuild the Sunsoft brand in North America", but it received mediocre reception from critics and did not see a follow-up.

The game was a collaborative effort between Sunsoft and Inti Creates, with Sunsoft still owning the property but Inti Creates handling full development and publishing. Its success led to it receiving two fully original sequels, '' Blaster Master Zero 2'' in 2019 and ''Blast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
