  • I played this game enough to have a decent start to finish run. I plan on uploading the Japanese language version since there are differences in the script and maybe anyone who is fluent in Japanese/is Japanese would appreciate that.

      ​@@avalonjustinPerhaps even originally it was a Japanese anime in Japan. Just when the original was ported to the US on the NES in the late 80s, Americans probably didnt realize this aspect due to the generic cutscene graphics on the NES. And they corrected it with the newer remakes. That's my theory on this though.

    • @ArctheLadder
      @ArctheLadder  Před rokem +1

      @@LagunaShirogane Mind how this comes off as "ACTUALLAY." If you were curious or interested, Blaster Master has a completely different plot in Japanese. It's called "Cho Wakusei Senki Metafight"(wiki info her, you can read about this online and it's somewhat well documented for how infamous or niche a topic it is), there's a lot of wiki information that you can sucked into... basically, when Japanese companies like Sunsoft were porting games over, they would consider the foreign audience and whether something seemed too culturally Japanese. So the game isn't necessarily an adaptation of an actual anime, but when trying to translate these games into English, a game could be deemed to strange to the audience and so they'd make a completely different story.
      Mutants and radiation seem pretty American in hindsight, I guess.
      Metafight has a lot of similarities to a show by Go Nagai called "X-Bomber." The X-Bomber is this spaceship that even has a little tank attachment, much like the Metal Attacker/tank thing from Metafight/Blaster Master.

    • @LagunaShirogane
      @LagunaShirogane Před rokem +1

      @@ArctheLadder I made my statement as i didnt know this info. But it also doesnt surprise me. I mean, look at Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam anime that came out in the 80s as the 2nd sequel anime series to the original Gundam anime. They never made an English dub for it due to similar reasons you stated about Blaster Master or another. Anime didnt truly take off in the US until the 1990s and even more so in the late 90s and 2000s thanks to Cartoon Network's Toonami block putting anime on the map. Before then, all Americans had for Japanese exposure was quite limited to certain products such as video game consoles such as the NES or Japanese import cars and other things. That and the Arcade Crash of the early 80s didnt help matters either (Nintendo brought that industry back from near extinction in 1985 with the NES/Famicom console). So I get what you mean with this.

    • @ArctheLadder
      @ArctheLadder  Před 5 lety +6

      Doesn't matter if it's a game if you're interpreting it. Sometimes stupid shit can illicit a response, and sometimes that's just being exasperated at how much of a silly fantasy it is. Really, if that's so bad, we could just ask Game Theory to take the piss about the plot/narrative and not even bother mentioning this stuff lmfao.
      Seriously though, there's a few things here. One is that the narrative of the game is just generic science fantasy, so you get this super hero character who's characterization in exposition is meaningless. The guy is a soldier that shoots guns and can just pilot a machine, none of the science and stuff has much bearing on it. Secondly, probably what will make this make more sense, this game is based on a game called "Chou Wakusei Senki: Metafight." Planetary War Chronicle: Metafight. The plot of that game is about a super experimental vehicle, the Metal Attacker, being commandeered by a soldier named "Kane Gardner." Kane teams up with the creator of the tank, co-pilot Jennifer (Gardner, lol), to fight the evil space emperor "GOEZ." Nothing is mentioned of mutants, it doesn't take place on Earth.
      The original adaptation of this, the Nintendo Entertainment System title: Blaster Master, wipes that premise for just having a story about a boy with nuclear waste in his backyard that has to chase a frog then finds the underground conspiracy theory premise of creatures that live under the surface of the planet. Blaster Master Zero is an attempt to fuse both of these stories together, and what you get is largely nonsensical. Like, Earth is the setting and is almost beat for beat a remake of the original game, but when you start thinking about how in order for the events of "Metafight" to have occurred concurrently with Blaster Master, suddenly it just gets really fucking stupid and you realize that it's just an adaptation.
      There's no space rebellion and we're back at square one which is uh... Biologist/Roboticist/Foot Soldier/Tank Pilot Jason Frudnick...
      I preferred the original Metafight story because it doesn't require you to do mental contortions lol. It's also essentially a video game version of shows like X-Bomber:
      czcams.com/video/66LldwbLl0w/video.html&
      Check it ouuuuut-- or don't. Either way, yeah, I like the game but I think I'm being extremely generous when I don't mention how often the premise of the game just makes me roll my eyes.

      Few people talk about this, but what is unique about the original NES version is pressing start will change Jason's death animation into funky white lines in the tank (not overhead) sections. The cause of this (from my experience in romhacking) is that a different object is loaded in place of the cartwheel animation. Pressing start during his death animation in Blaster Master Zero does nothing because of a coding error in the original--oh, and the pause trick for the bosses is also not a thing. In fact, both are unique to the original. If a ceiling turret is used in Area 2, for instance, the turret resembles a concrete sculpture of Jason's head!

I’m simply referring to how back then arcade versions (usually the original version) of games tended to be superior in content, graphics and sound. Then, when they made the console versions they had to cut out a lot because consoles of the time simply couldn’t handle everything the original had. Some examples that come to mind include Altered Beast, Quartet, Legend of Kage and Shinobi.

      Really the point is more that there was an arcade version way back when. But it's strange to fantasize about a version of this game that wants to also take my lunch money again, cause fuck that lol.
      I know console versions cut lots of stuff, sometimes they'd get creative and make up for that. SNES SF2 is still my favorite version cause Ryu uppercuts a waterfall.

    I played the original on NES back when i was a toddler and my mom used to play the original as i watched her play this game along with original Ninja Gaiden and Magic of Scheherazade on the NES. So many memories....Im gonna have to get this game on my PS4. Magic of Scheherazade should be next on the list to be remade on newer consoles. This is just great!
    Its like a combination of a few old school NES games of the time such as Metroid, Galaga, and a few others that I cant name at the top of my head. They need to make games more like this. Not everything has to be like CoD or Overwatch, or games that have ginormous graphics and gameplay. It can be just simple and easy and still enjoyable. Nintendo is still king when it comes to these types of games and part of why they're still battling on their own two feet against Sony and Microsoft in the Console Wars and they've been the longest standing contender in this war.

      Terrible and confusing design, ridiculous difficulty and a story I stopped caring about a long time ago.
