Inti Creates know when they’ve got something good on their hands, and in the Switch’s lifetime that’s included the Blaster Master Zero games. The first was one of my earliest pick ups on the system, while the sequel build off of its foundation to fittingly pay tribute to the NES…
While Nippon Ichi Software is perhaps best known for the Disgaea line of Strategy RPGs, it was far from the company’s only experiment with the genre.

It’s hard to imagine that time has flown this quickly during the Switch’s life cycle. Given just how successful and impactful to the industry it’s been in such a short time, I’m sure I’d be hard-pressed to find any person who doesn’t remember exactly where they were when they opened…
