I compare the intros to Blaster Master (on the NES) to Blaster Master Zero (on the Switch), two games with decades of technological advances between them. Also, I know that Blaster Master is a localized version of the Japanese Famicom game, Chô Wakusei Senki Metafight. This localization likely explains the problems with the NES story. […]
