Blaster Master: Overdrive coming to WiiWare tomorrow

Action — By Timothy Torres on February 7, 2010 at 9:36 am

Talk about a blast from the past! Hyuk hyuk.

Blaster Master: Overdrive, a sequel/update to the NES classic, appeared out of nowhere over the weekend and better yet, it will be available this Monday on WiiWare for 1000 points!! Gosh, if only every game’s release date came within 48 hours of its announcement.

Like the original, Blaster Master: Overdrive blends 2D side-scrolling shooting and platforming with overhead action. Though screenshots are blurry, Blaster Master: Overdrive resembles a late-era SNES game, so y’know, it looks awesome. We can all thank Sunsoft and Victor Ireland’s Gaijinworks for this lovely surprise.
