About this game
Blaster Master Zero , a reboot of the game Blaster Master from 1988, is a retro-style metroidvania game with both platform and top-down shooter elements that try to emulate Turbo-Grafx 16 style of games.
You play as Jason Frudnick who is trying to find his pet frog called Fred after he ran away into a tunnel.

In there he finds a tank, SOPHIA III, and he goes to different areas to find his way through the depths of Earth.
The gameplay consists of 2 different ways to control the character.
At the same time, in the tank, it is side-view perspectives and you can shoot enemy creatures that you come across with weapons you collect through exploration, and a top-down perspective when Jason is exploring inside the caves and uses his gun to deal damage.
In the course of the game the player finds different caves that give the player and the tank additional health point or new guns for SOPHIA III, and fight with mini bosses both in caves and outside that give the player new powers to help them move to a new area that was inaccessible before.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Blaster Master Zero for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Blaster Master Zero to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2017.
