this character design is too good for this world

I bought BM01 and 02 the moment I saw melontits.

More like the trailer just reminded me that I had a switch since last november and I could play it now. I previously saw the game but thought "I can't play it since it's switch exclusive".

The game is pretty good, and the second game has so much waifushit in it it's insane.

How Nintendo approved this?

>>16281214

KYM has some overlap with this site.

this is going to bite nintendo in the ass almost as hard as Bowsette

>>16281439

> bite nintendo in the ass almost as hard as Bowsette

I fail to see how that bit nintendo in the ass. Only thing they did is make a family friendly version (the one with the green dress).

Let's talk about the game!!

I never heard previous Blaster Master Zero, based on the squeal trailer is it similar vein with megaman?

Object heads are a niche fetish. That site catalogs different fetishes under "meme" pages.

There's a whole thread on >>>/d/

>>16281580

>object heads is a fetish

And I thought the peaks of degeneracy ended at consensual petrification and breaking.

>>16281607

Nah, consensual petrification is dogshit compared to consensual necrophilia to pay for revival fees.

>>16281500

>>16281484

I'm not saying they made it, I'm saying the melon plant and stupid sexy bowsette would hurt their reputation as a family friendly company. But to be fair I haven't really followed nintendo's policy much after Wii, so I might be looking at this wrong. Just thought they didn't follow the "any publicity is good publicity" school of thought.

Especially now that they're handing out their IPs to anyone who asks, allegedly.

>>16281607

Object heads can still have vanilla romance.

>>16281672

alright cool, thanks for clearing that up

>>16281822

We did it, Nintendo is saved!

>>16280300

It can be a little tricky sometimes. Later in the game they introduce one-touch death areas that you need to be really careful around, and also the bosses are a little tougher, not too much though.

The true final area is also hard because it's slightly badly designed.

>>16280548

I wish she was the true last boss where she grows into a giant plant girl and you have to bounce on her boobies to be able to shoot her face

>>16282399

>oh hi mark

Why do people keep saying this, does Mark have a patrician giantess fetish too?

>>16281659

I'm on the fence whether that's a stretch or not.

>>16281333

The original game on PS3/360 wasn't. But the ones after were. In any case it's a series I like but one I'll admit is not done well.

>>16281214

I'll confirm it was in the last draw thread here but posted when the thread was close to falling off.

>>16282538

He just wants to be reminded of the time when he was a young child, looking up (literally) to his mother.

>>16281261

Green is a magical colour. The ESRB gave the Doom GBA port a lower "Teen" rating after the devs changed the blood colour from red to green. I guess green tiddies are more family friendly.

>>16283078

Tangentally related, Shantae&TPC on 3DS actually has 3D pop-out boobs and it got a G rating even in Ausland. Not quite as questionable as melon melons but still.

Enjoying the game so far, only have gotten to Gonbei though. And add new elements to the old formula (falling with the car recharges your special meter for faster gameplay). It does bug me that it looks like an 8 bit game, I'd rather it look like 16 bit game.

Surprised people even talk about Blaster Master Overide, hardly remember anybody talking about that except for nostalgia's sake back when it was released. I feel like the Blaster Master Zero series brings more to the table (extra chapters, tank vs tank fights, story, more boss fights) than Blaster Master Overdrive, but Overdrive had way better graphics.

Anybody have fan art from Blaster Master Zero 1?

>>16279487

>watermelon milk

I mean I get it, but wouldn't it be better if she was drinking cocoNut milk?

Finally finished the game. Enjoyed it, probably a lot more so than most people because of the nostalgia goggles from enjoying the original Blaster Master.

Had more elements to the game than I thought they would add like a second playable character.

The ending was better than I thought it'd be. I didn't expect much from these budget games, but they increased the quality by a notch or two with the extra levels / vehicles and story.

Hope they add more unlockables later on. For the first Blaster Master Zero there was DLC, and for a limited period you could get it for free.

Hope they do something like.

I also wish they'd at least give you a piece of artwork specific to that DLC character when you beat the game with him or her.

>>16307627

>What was your end game time

I'd say around 10-15 hours to beat the game.

My end game time says 22 hours, but that's got to be a mistake (probably left the game running while I was doing something else). According to a second save file I was halfway through the game at 8 hours.

>how’s the replay value looking

Horrible. No new game+, no starting game as other playable character, no switching tanks on the fly, no playing as the comrades you meet in the game.

The ending might be different depending on whether you get the extra fetch side quests for each comrade but I'm not so sure. I get the feeling it might only add extra dialogue/moments/help during the 2nd last boss fight, not sure if it changes the ending at all.

I could start game from 2nd save file halfway through to check, but not really feeling like doing it. You end up dying in the last two planets a lot.

What they SHOULD have done is allowed you to play as each of the comrades/tanks/Eve in a new game+! Thing is, Eve's combat style is super nerfed except for her "slow time" ability, so I can see why that didn't happen. But there's no excuse why they couldn't let you play as any one of the three comrades! They should've even let you play as that "rival" like character Liebniz, or even the dead Roddy guy who was a pilot just like you.

Holy crap, looking for more artwork to post I stumbled on some old tweets from their english twitter account. They had later patches that let you play online 2 player co-op versus bosses, or online PVP, with the guest characters too! Damn…I'm a fan of this game and I didn't even know that.

THIS is what they should have had out of the gate for Blaster Master Zero 2!

>>16307760

I found some artwork IntiCreates made for stuff like New Years, and download milestones.

I just remembered how the original game was completely different in Japan (there was no frog, your character helped build the tank not randomly find it falling down a hole). There was no woman in the original western version of Blaster Master, but in the japanese there was a Jennifer Cornet.

Reading up on it now, the story for the series kind of goes all over the place because it would get changed for the western market, where it was more popular than it was in its native Japan, and spin off series would add more weird stuff into the mix. Eve started out in the western novelization of the game, not even in one of the games itself.

www.kidfenris.com/blaster-master-all-about-eve/

www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?mef

https://tcrf.net/Blaster_Master

Reading all this stuff about the storylines for Blaster Master it just hit me.

In Blaster Master: Blasting Again, you play as Jason & Eve's son named Roddy. Roddy's support droid is Elfie.

In Blaster Master Zero 2 you find Roddy's gun, he's long since dead and his gun is the only thing left. You find Elfie ghost later on, and pilot their tank. I hope that's just name dropping because it's pretty macabre viewing it from the angle that Eve finds proof of her future son's death without realizing who he is.

I was also able to appreciate the foil stuff going on. Liebnez lost his support droid and reacts in anger & suppression. Later when you meet Elfie, who is a support droid who lost her pilot, she's able to act as a sounding board to Liebnez to bring about his humanity

I'm also wondering what Liebnez is going to do when he gets to Earth

>>16307760

Here's those Eve pictures

Oh yeah, here's that link to the animu thread that >>16294092 talked about

https://8ch.net/animu/res/79731.html

>>16308013

Really, the absolute madmen at Inti went insane making everything canon, the namedrop at the very end of the true ending made it 10/10 forever for that reason.

Eve is absolutely from the children's novelization, and while Zero follows something similar to the plot of the western release of Blaster Master, it's also implied that the events of Meta Fight are also canon. Eve's creators/parents are the pilot of the original NORA MA-01, Kane Gardner, and the scientist who designed the tank, Jennifer Cornet. The enemies are now written to be something of a midpoint between "Lord Goez's space army" and "guts mutants", and Eve mentions that she knows them as something different (likely the Invem from Meta Fight.)

Don't get me wrong, the addition of Roddy and Elfie was fun, along with the main character from Ikki (and his companion from a Japanese novelization of that game!) but nothing was as fucking awesome as that single dialogue box. It's like it was speaking directly to me.

>>16308079

Holy fucking shit! This is blowing me away! I even beat BMZ1 and saw that ending, but I didn't understand its significance until you pointed it out to me just now!!

The original japanese version was "Evil space overlord is trying to take over", the original western version was "sci-fi alice-in-wonderland except follow frog down a rabbit hole". I can't believe how well they merged them in Blaster Master Zero! Holy crap that was slick!

>>16308107

This was the only reason I bought a 3DS. Hacked it because no physical release, though. It inspired me to do a bit of hacking of the NES game.

>>16308204

Inti Creates is pretty solid, kinda' like Wayforward. It's rare that you would be disappointed in anything they make, unless you already didn't like the concept or gameplay style of the game to begin with.

>>16308233

Genesis game is FUCKING GARBAGE.

GBC version is an odd remix of the original, an inferior copy I suppose.

PSX is…. odd.

Wii is fucking stupid.

You're not doing yourself a disservice by only playing the original and Zero. Watching playthroughs of the lesser games just lets you know what few kernels of wheat are in the mountains of chaff.

>>16294064

The physiology of Planet Stranga natives is bizarre and complex.

Kanna is a native to that planet, right? The way I figure it she's just a sentient plant with roots that happen to become the shape of a buxom woman's body, but she has no head, so she uses a mechanized pot as her "face". Either that or Planet Stranga just has weird magic that causes pot plants to grow eyes and a mouth.

>>16308423

Were the Azure Gunvolt games any good? I know the localizations were fucked

>>16310147

Based on how Metroid fared in the US, I'd say so.

>>16310355

>Also, did anyone else actually read the worlds of power book as a kid?

Just the Ninja Gaiden one. I wanted the Blaster Master one, but being a ward of the state does not afford one many personal possessions.

>>16308204

>Well shit, now this has me curious. Are any of the other Inti Creates games good?

The MegaMan Zero and MegaMan ZX series were great, and a worthy sequel to the franchises. I'm just realizing they were created by IntiCreates, even though I saw their logo flash on my screen's start up so many many times.

I was very hopeful for Mighty No.9 when I heard they were being made by the company who had the directors for MegaMan Zero / MegaMan ZX (which turned out to be IntiCreates). I didn't know how they could fail. Then I saw all the drama about Mighty No 9, like their tumblerina community manager, and I became hesitant to buy it. When Mighty No 9 got released, I only heard bad things about it (Inafune would even defend it with "It's better than nothing", Sonic on Sega's twitter account would repeat these words to him as back handed mocking him). I also heard stuff about how it would crash one of the consoles. I still haven't played Mighty No 9, but I hear it's just "OK", and its big gimmick is dashing into enemies (which was already in the MegaMan X series, so it's not really ground breaking).

I'm actually thinking of trying that Gal Gun series now.

>>16308233

The WiiWare version was, in my opinion, superior to the original. I thought it was a worthy successor, but it gets a lot of flak.

Genesis: Couldn't hold my interest long enough to beat a level

Jr: Really a Bomberman game & doesn't have a tank

Enemy Below: Plays like the first game, which is good

Blasting Again: hard to describe. Seen my bro playing it for hours, and it looks clunky. Definitely a PS1 title, the experimental bare bones are there but needs refinement.

>>16310147

I'd say westerners like exploration games more, they seem to love open world games more like GTA, Skyrim etc.

I think the real reason why this game sold so well was because it hit the boyhood fantasy at just the right market at just the right time. You weren't Link in Hyrule, you weren't Mario in Mushroom Kingdom. You were a regular kid who got a badass tank, and that resounded with the emerging 8-bit market at the time really well. Young children love big stuff (like Barney & Big Bird), seeing them as grown up protectors. Even boys love huge construction equipment like Dump Trucks & steam rollers. Giving them a fantasy where they control a tank then save the world, hit the market at the perfect time when young boys were buying the NES in the budding 8-bit market

Seems the 1996 on the tank android's hat is a reference to when IntiCreates was established.

No Blaster Master game came out that year, so I'm guessing that's what it's about.

>>16308514

When you put it that way, it is very odd. I thought her face was just "cartoony" like Mickey Mouse, just drawing eyes on a pot is like "magic" and the eyes suddenly function for no logical reason. Saying that the pot is mechanized to resemble facial expressions is very interesting, a little disturbing too.

What's even more confusing is she's got goggles for her eyes, so they must work somehow.

I'm guessing Kanna is related to the those weird two-legged jumping plants, being that both look humanoid.

The plants on Planet Stranga are odd. There are a lot of enemies that would normally attack you, but instead they've got a planet Stranga plant growing out of them, so they're passive like brain dead zombies. Just sitting ducks for you to kill. Some enemies just shoot out power ups instead of the usual bullets they fire at you. Weirdest of all is that fetch quest plant, that launches into space & is capable of interstellar flight. You find the plant on another planet, and you shoot at the enemy next to it before it can kill you, but guess what? The enemy's a zombie now since it's got a plant sticking out of its head.

This is actually a little distrubing. It's like the planet itself shoots seeds into space to "infect" other planets into turning into copies of itself.

This reminds of that Phazon planet in the Metroid Prime series that would send out seeds to infect other planets and take them over. It's unsettling, but at least Straga is peaceful. Still it reminds me of a plant version of the borg from Star Trek.

>>16310355

When I was a kid I read a few pages in a book shop, but the only real game novelization I read was about Castlevania.

>Wait so were the level 5 and 8 bosses originally frogs?

That always bugged me whenever I fought those enemies. I kept wondering if I was fighting my frog, just grown super huge into a mutant giant…and now the pet I set out to rescue I'm now killing instead.

Thankfully there are two big frogs, so they can't both be Fred, so maybe neither is Fred & that assured me a little. Graciously at the end of the game you see Fred on your shoulder.

Damn this game was hard playing it as a kid. I remember abusing the grenade + pause glitch every chance I got. Let the game paused like that on final boss for like 5 minutes just to make sure it was dead.

>>16308079

>along with the main character from Ikki (and his companion from a Japanese novelization of that game!)

Wait, where is Ikki and his support droid from? What novelization, and what game are they from? I'm wondering if that lone grave in their planet has something to do with their backstory now.

>>16311449

>comic

oh no, not the Gallagher virus!

>>16311669

a cursed idea. It should be a crime to harm Kanna and melons

>>16312314

Don't remember it too well to give exact descriptions. It's been like 9 years since I've played Overdrive, and at that point it was like 10 years since I had played the original. When I played Overdrive I was just having fun, going around, destroying stuff with my ever transforming tank that was getting new upgrades that didn't exist in the original. In the Overdrive you also got some snazzy new stuff while you played in dungeons on foot, without your tank. The biggest things I remember about that game was that it was just fun destroying everything with my tank's new toys…and the gauntlet to the final boss where I was stuck running from enemies and all their bullets. I had a good time, and thought it was better than the original.

Looking for more images to post, I can see some problems that I didn't recognize back then. The levels were all boring caves. Sometimes fiery caves, sometimes icy caves, but it's missing the variety that the first game had which would go from forest, to castles, to sci-fi techno city, to water world, to "the walls are alive and everything is moving".

Another thing somebody else pointed out is they changed the jump height of the tank to be much lower, probably to make the grapple hook more useful. Thing is this screwed around with the level design and made ledges everywhere, instead of bigger wide open spaces.

I also see that the enemies were firing way more bullets on the screen, and here that sometimes the game overwhelmed you with enemies.

>>16312651

Even though they were juvenile fiction, they were very well written, from what I could tell. Ninja Gaiden went long on descriptive passages, expanding greatly on what limited story was available in the cinema scenes, and what could be derived from the levels themselves. It seems that Al Singer wrote both the Blaster Master and Ninja Gaiden books, as well as Infiltrator, which I had never seen anywhere.

>>16310355

>did anyone else actually read the Worlds of Power book as a kid

Yo. Have Books 1-6. If there were any others I have no idea what they are.

Haven't read them in over 20 years, but I do remember a plot point being

>FUCK IT'S FRED

>QUIT BEING A FUCKING BITCH MY PET CRAB WAS A BOSS AND YOU KILLED IT IN THE ICE AREA

>WHAT DUDE THAT'S FUCKED UP

>JUST SHUT UP AND KILL IT FUCK

At the end of the book, Eve became adopted by Jason's faggot friend, and the two pets were unharmed.

>>16313092

The other two are Infiltrator and Before Shadowgate.

>>16313118

>>16313092

Holy crap man! That collection is hardcore! I'm damn impressed somebody would keep that collection!

It's kind of amazing really. I can imagine family must have tried to throw those away several times, it's remarkable you were able to keep such a collection all this time. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they must have meant a lot to you as a kid, I've got old Nintendo Power issues that I don't want to let go of to this day.

………also that faggot friend from the novels, Alexander, is who you play as in Blaster Master Overdrive. It looks like they changed things around for Overdrive, they made Alexander the main character, and his kid is probably Jason (some theorize the game is a prequel story wise).

>>16311449

>Wait, where is Ikki and his support droid from?

Gonbei is from Ikki. It had a novelization (30 years later, what the hell?) that added Tae as his childhood friend. Somehow it feels even more off the rails that there's another female companion from a book loosely based on a game with little plot, but this time it's a Japanese novel.

1) Game got a new patch, seems like it was just to fix bugs

2) In original game, seems like there was going to be a stage 9, but it got cut. So they just put the stage 9 boss right after the stage 8 boss (why their backgrounds are so different). The prize that stage 8 boss would've given seems to be a "walk on spikes" part for your tank.

I fired up Blaster Master Overdrive just now, wanted to take pictures of the ending & such (have a capture card now). I'm not sure I'm enjoying the experience, there's a bunch of frustration, then again I'm jumping into the hardest stage from a save file without having played the game for 10 years.

THE GOOD

Tank has grapple hook.

Tank can walk on ground spikes.

The player's gun has three different gun settings, lose gun stats when you get hit doesn't affect the gun settings you weren't using at the moment.

There's a big screen wide bomb in dungeons

THE BAD

All areas are now just caves, no variety like in first game. Level design more cramped, and not in a good way. Jump height is lower. Hover doesn't let you fly, just slows your descent. You can't walk on ceilings anymore, just walls. This all means you have to rely on your grapple hook more to get around, and since the grapple hook has a set range that means you'll almost never be in wide open areas because there have to be ledges for you to hook onto.

The tank doesn't have any sub weapons to hit enemies below you. The homing missiles are sorely missed. Grapple hooking onto walls doesn't let you stick onto walls. While walking on walls you're defenseless, you can't even shoot. The main tank's gun shots feel weak since it doesn't seem to have been upgraded, even though the grapple hook got upgraded.

In dungeons, you are slower when you keep your gun pointed in a set direction, this usually means you'll get hit since the enemies + invincible bullets are faster than you. There are many enemies around, they fire many bullets. Sometimes killing eneimes will cause them to explode into a cluster of 15 bullets. Sometimes there are invincible pillars that just shoot bullets constantly. There are enemy bug spawn points that can't be killed. In the end, it feels that it is better to run away than it is to kill enemies, since just taking a single hit handicaps you in further fights since getting hit lowers your weapon specs.

Took two hours to kill the final boss after repeated attempts. The trick is to just get hit as little as possible, since everytime you get hit your offensive power suffers. The more hit you get the weaker you attack, and you end up in quicksand you can't escape. Final boss can summon hundreds of little monsters, some taking 5 bullets to kill, and it's very easy to get overwhelmed & chased by crowds of enemies you can't outrun. Further, you get stunned for a second when you get hit by some enemies, allowing the crowd that's chasing you to catch up & stun lock you to death. Did I mention your health constantly drains in the final boss area? Damn it was annoying. Look at https://youtu.be/1ikBNUfhoI8?t=327 to see what I mean.

Also, here's an interview with Yoshiaki Iwata, art director on the original game and producer (director?) for Overdrive http://archive.fo/n7Fmo

>>16313342

That's actually pretty impressive. I looked it up a little more, and it turns out that Zavira boss is based on another old Sunsoft game called Atlantis no Nazo!

http://archive.fo/jkHeH

i need it

Game got patched, the biggest change was planetoid C-2 had ladders lengthened so it's easier to get the life power up. Also, the website was updated with more info on the comrades and bosses too.

>Ver.1.2 (April 01, 2019)

>Various behavior and stability issues have been fixed, including the following:

>Fixed an issue where control configuration would be reset.

>Fixed an issue where the map and various enemies in Area F would disappear.

>Fixed an issue where the game would not auto-save when entering some top-down planetoid stages.

>Fixed an error where collecting some items would not be properly reflected on the mini-map.

>Fixed an error where the player could get stuck in Dungeon 4 on planet Montoj under certain conditions.

>The difficulty of planetoid C-2 has been adjusted.

Kanna's history might be here in this profile of Kenwood

If this image depicts Kanna's past, as hinted by the pot with a face like Kanna has, then it seems like Kanna was one of those plant with leg things on Straga.

>>16312596

>May actually be a good thing since it means Stranga has its own defenses against mutants. The mutants have trouble converting the native flora and fauna of Stranga which is why it results in weird anomalies like enemies that are too big, enemies that are passive and enemies that shoot powerups. The planet could prove the most useful for wiping out the mutants.

Turns out that the Mutants got their asses kicked invading Straga, and had to settle to putting their boss on a little planetoid instead!

Tesset, the support droid for the Atom tank, is based off of Tesse from Sunsoft's 1996 game "Waku Waku 7"! That's why she's got a 1996 on her hat! Waku Waku 7 came out that year!

I replayed Blaster Master Zero 1 and am catching all these little extras that I didn't see the first time around.

In the original Blaster Master, in the western versions you started out in a cave and saw your tank blast out of the cave that's got brown everywhere.

But it wasn't like that in the original japanese version, you started out in a lab and blasted out of the hangar that's got blue everywhere. I didn't realize that until I read about it a little while ago. Replaying the game now, when you get your second tank and blast out of the cannon barrel of the space ship, it's a direct homage to the blue hangar you blast out of in the original japanese version.

They even tried to incorporate some of Blaster Master Overdrive in the game too, since the mutants came in a comet a few hundred years ago, just like the comet heading towards earth in Blaster Master Overdrive.

>>16332310

Ok, ok, I 'll post a few more new ones I found.

>only one colored vaginal penetration pic so far

this displeases my impregnation fetish.

Ran out of time, but there was a bunch more stuff I wanted to mention. I just found out there was a "bad ending" in Zero 1, there's extra lore & dialogue when talking with Eve after you get the Wall power up & backtrack through stages. Maybe there's a bad ending in Zero 2 that I missed! Also, some bosses are weak to specific gun levels, that was a slick extra. I'm just going to post some more pics then I gotta stop.

One thing I never saw before were the boss illustrations for Zero 1. Some of them look really good.

Also, there's an official page where you can download wallpapers for the first game about special events (like celebratory pics that the game hit download count milestones, or happy new year, etc) http://blastermaster-zero.com/en/zero/special/special02.html

Found the last image exploring the html code on one of their japanese links, have no idea what IntiCreates game it's about tho, but it's good enough to share.

All this time, and I never knew that there was a Bad Ending in Zero 1. Eve takes on the mutant core all by herself, but the tank SOPHIA III wasn't strong enough, so she sets it to self destruct..

Later in the true ending you find out the mutants infected both the tank SOPHIA III plus Eve herself. It was real cool when you had to fight your own tank as a boss. And this was after you climbed through the barrel of a gigantic space battleship that was firing the entire time.

It was interesting that one of the ending screens had Jason, Eve, and Fred on the tank SOPHIA. In the original japanese version it was just Jason sitting on the tank, since the female protaganist (Jennifer Cornet) was the sceintist who created the tank but didn't join the pilot Jason with it into enemy territory. In the western version of the original game, Fred is next to Jason on the tank, since the western version's story was rewritten as a search for Fred. Now in Blaster Master Zero, they had everybody on the tank

Area 4 - after area 6 boss defeated

JASON: So she's really an android…

NARRATION: There's no way we'd ever be able to make an android like her with the technical capabilities we have on Earth right now. An AI that has not just emotions, but the ability to think and act on its own is still just a dream. Makes me wonder just how technologically advanced Eve's home planet is. I can only imagine at this point, though.

EVE: If you're gonna stare like that, I'm gonna wonder what in the world you're thinking about…

JASON: Ahh, sorry about that. Man, I really can't see you as anything but a normal human.

EVE: ……Are you saying that you like chicks who are robot-like?

JASON: Nope, I think the way you are now is good…

EVE: I…I see… Well, that's good. Hm? Why do I think that's good…?

speaking of inticreates, this game went right under my radar. Was it any good?

Re-playing the game, I found all this extra in-game "radio" conversations with Eve that filled in extra lore in the game, kind of like codec calls in Metal Gear.

Like mentioned before in this thread, they tried to maintain in the lore from the original japanese version (pretty much written out in every other game in the series). Here its like the story of Meta Fight took place back on Sophia (the planet) hundreds of years ago.

I also tried to write down a lot a lot of the lore here at https://pastebin.com/yGPvQ2xw but got tired of it after a while.

Area 1 - after area 6 boss defeated

NARRATION: SOPHIA III - a tank vehicle bearing the name of Eve's home planet. It was created as a battle tank that could destroy the mutant threat that is plaguing many planets. It's made to operate automatically, but it also has a "Blaster Rifle," a weapon that needs to be operated by hand. From a perpertual motion system to an auto-repair function, this tank sure has a lot of features. It even has a support bot that helps it perform emergency maintenance. The bot activates when SOPHIA's AI has a tough time handling the situation at hand.

EVE: That should pretty much sum up all the info I have on SOPHIA. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

JASON: Well, there is one thing… Up until now, SOPHIA's been fighting against mutants, right?

EVE: Yup, that's right.

JASON: So…when in the world did the mutants and SOPHIA come to this planet anyway?

EVE: Hmm…I would say…they probably arrived hundreds of years ago.

JASON: Hundreds of years ago? It's crazy to think they've been here so long.

EVE: Due to a twist in the dimensions of space, by physically travelling between my home planet and earth… It seems like a rift in the axis of time was created that reveresed the flow of time…couldn't tell you how or why, thought.

JASON: Rifts in the axis of time, huh? Solving a mystery like that is definetly out of my league… Although, speaking of mysteries, I remember reading about an unidentified comet that hit the Earth hundreds of years ago…

EVE: Makes me wonder if that's how the mutants came here. But, that would mean the Mutant Lord has been dormant this whole time… When we pursued the mutants to Earth, I feel like it wasn't that long ago.

JASON: I see…so that's how it went.

NARRATION: Poor thing had been fighting by itself for a long time. Thank you, SOPHIA.

I hear that Eve had red hair in the original World of Power novel, but it seems she was changed to blonde to take the place of Jennifer Cornet, the original female protagonist who was also blonde.

Kind of interested in playing the PS1 game. Only saw my brother playing it, the game looked like it played a little clunky so I'm not sure I'll play it after all. It seemed to have a lot of story in it.

The foldout Nintendo Power poster was incredibly cool back in the day

>What was Waku Waku 7 actually like?

It's a fighter, like Street Fighter 2, with wacky characters. I played it in emulation, it's a lighthearted fun game. Characters like a giant 8-foot cat ridden by a little girl, robot armor for a police man + police dog, some ripped Indian Jones guy, some dog-girl, etc.

I didn't notice until the second play through but

the ghost of Elfie's is helping you fire the cannon at the 2nd last fight

all the support androids seem to have an animal theme to them. I'd like to repost the images, but that'd just be bad taste.

Eve = Cat (kitty knee pads & cat ear hairbands)

Tae = Fox (fox multi-tail, & fox-ear from headphone thingies, and fox-head symbol on belt)

Kenwood = Bull (horns & hoof-like boots)

Tesset = Jellyfish? (bulbous hat as the head, and hair as jellyfish tentacles)

I can't figure out what Elfi could be, there's not enough images of her to make a correct guess. One thing I'm surprised by, is that she dresses like Jennifer Cornet a little, with her white themed outfit, and she even had that Nike-like down arrow logo on her left breast.

>>16335191

Sorry to hear that. There's a bunch of exclusives, but I certainly wish there were more.

I think these are the last of the good images I have, there are more images I have but they're of lower quality. I enjoyed the thread everyone, hope you guys did too.

If I wanted your images, I'd go to pixiv/ a booru myself and get them, fag.

>>16332237

>Kanna's history might be here in this profile of Kenwood

>If this image depicts Kanna's past, as hinted by the pot with a face like Kanna has, then it seems like Kanna was one of those plant with leg things on Straga.

So this lends credence to my theory here: >>16308514

Kanna is, for all intents and purposes, the plant growing out of the pot. The plant you see growing out of her "head" is the TRUE Kanna, and everything growing out of the bottom of the pot from her "neck down" are just her very sexy roots. The pot is the most mysterious thing about her - it's either some kind of mechanical pot that allows her to emote, see things and talk, or it's some kind of magic pot that has real sensory organs and a mouth.

The native plantlife on Stranga can grow legs but it's not known if this is the result of mutant interference or if it was always like that before the mutants came along.

>>16332297

Fuck I loved Waku Waku 7 so much. It also bears mentioning that Yacupo, the bunny creature seen with Kanna and Kenwood, is another Sunsoft reference. It's a playable character in their 1995 game Galaxy Fight as well as one of their older platformers called Trip World for the Game Boy. Man I hope they bring back more Waku Waku 7 stuff. I want Arina to come back.

>>16335252

Eve is so beautiful and cute and seeing her in peril at the start of BM02 makes me want to protecc her harder. She looks so sexy in the ending image too.

Man god bless these perverted Japanese bastards. They're one of the last bastions of sexy girls in games. I hope they keep doing this.

I'm actually glad I decided to give it a go. The combat and bosses are pretty damn fun, though I'm hoping the first level was just an isolated case of bad level design. I also like how Gunvolt is the cheesiest kind of good guy. He'll go from detached to passionately yelling out his lines like a motivational speaker.

The shit localization is definitely starting to show its age though.

I swear this fucking frog is smug.

>>16335628

I-I have have good taste…

>>16342506

oh no

I'm retarded

I wasnt expecting to jerk off to a flower pot today, but alright.

>>16342150

I guess GSC is okay…

>>16342716

it's fine

>>16342734

Yeah, I suppose…

>>16334545

>>16334610

It has fun character designs, though the game itself is sort of a slog.

>>16344046

Why have Minnie MayBucks and Rally VinCents when you can have the superior currency?

I played the first title because I realized I haven't beaten it when the sequel came out. It was pretty fun. If BMZ2 is just more of the first but better than that's good enough for me.

YOUNG KANNA OFFICIAL IMAGE

New patch & a young Kanna official image

Before the thread dies, I want to post this picture of the only other in-game image of Kanna you can see (not counting her talking head profile picture either).

>>16362052

>hi-tech tank

>HI-TECH

What the fuck is it so hi-tech on this piece of shit "tank" design when it exposes its crew with a giant glass cupola? A single or two larger caliber bullet fired from a anti-material/tank rifle is more than enough to kill its vehicle crew, even a ancient world war 1 tank protects its crew better than this "tank". Its design has more in common with a armored car than anything else. Look at the first picture, this is how you design a cupola which adequately protect its crew from fragments and other projectiles that isn't fired from a large caliber weapon. There is so many design out there or whatever references they could have used instead that has a much better plausible chassis and then for some reason they decided on THIS "chassis"? I can throw in tons of more armored car images that has a better crew protection than what this cover claims as "hi-tech" tank.

>inb4 but its just a video game bro

Yeah no shit that a game which the only method to kill a entity is reducing its health bar with whatever weapon the other entity has available doesn't give a single fuck how the fuck the design looks like when it is just about reducing a single variable in order to kill a entity, so the entity design can be whatever the fuck you have in mind as it doesn't account for its design features.

>>16362224

Looks like you are a pretty smart guy, I like that.

> Just because a viewport or canopy is transparent does not mean that it is made of silica-based glass.

At the first thought it would have sound believable but as you also mentioned:

>Blaster Master Zero takes place hundreds, if not thousands of years in the future.

The rear part of the vehicle as it is clearly shown at the cover is covered with riveted metal plates which is by their standard probably a very ancient method of repairing a vehicle, they would have access to something such as nano like technology that would be able to repair and/or modify the vehicle without looking it came fresh out of the factory with crude machinery and tool set. By this year they would also have something that gives the vehicle crew much better protection without compromising their line of sight ability, such as camera panels whose materials is flexible enough to be shaped in different form thus giving its a larger degree of sight and without letting the opponents know how its exact crew position looks like in order to prevent getting attacked by snipers. So if anything else the artist of this cover is to blame for not researching its technological background much more thoroughly in order to avoid those potential disastrous pitfalls in armored vehicle engineering.

> Just because a viewport or canopy is transparent does not mean that it is made of silica-based glass.

Thus being said the enemy would also have the potential access of a ammunition that its kinetic penetration capabilities is strong enough to pierce said material which obviously would be one of those minimum requirement for a thousand year appropriate anti-tank/material rifle, else such weapons that doesn't meet the requirement to penetrate a "hi-tech tank" that is commonly used by their opponents is a useless weapon as obviously state doesn't have sufficient enough firepower.

>Calm your "I've been a /k/ommando for two weeks" autism a bit.

I did. I could also have complained about its dubious design of wheeled locomotion which is not common at all for a main battle tank which is a new standard in the modern world (post World War 2 era), MBT's such as M1 Abrams, Leclerc, Leopard 1 and 2, T-80 series upwards and more. It pisses me off enough that normalfaggots are saying that anything that looks like a armored vehicle with a tracked mount is a fucking tank.

>>16369352

>noob

>>16369376

i feel a little bad, that was uncalled for

>>16369352

Damn man, how long has it been since I've seen that said in earnest.

aw what the hell, one last dump

I loved the first game, but yeah, nobody was talking about it when it came out. Damn surprised it has so many extra patches for new playable characters, online co-op, boss rush modes. Only found out about *some* of the playable characters.

It was so good that I did replay it after playing BMZ2. Not sure which I think was better, because it felt like the first game had more areas/bosses, but the second game speed up the gameplay (counters/wall climbing/power charging).

ok, I think that's it. It's been a month and a half since the game came out. Unless they start patching stuff for extra content, I don't think we'll see a surge in drawings for this character.

I've never seen a flavor of the month character get so many drawings, she's relatively obscure too.

The original game was certainly one of the favorites of my childhood, glad to see it get a proper send off.

Also was really happy to find the first two pictures at >>16334575

You can actually see what the hell the Lv8 boss https://imgur.com/a/qnbJbf3 is supposed to be at the second pic at >>16334575

It's some robo cyborg skeleton inside, got an exposed brain with skull cap missing, and weird ass horns coming out of his eyes…but the Plutonium Boss is petting him like it's some pet dog!

I always thought it was some weird beast that didn't have any arms but just had two legs. It never occured to me until I saw it's remake (2nd pic at >>16332410 ) that it was some monster sticking out of the wall, where everything below it's chest was "inside" the wall or something.

Been off 8chan for like a year, so this was a great thread for me.

I really enjoyed the thread everybody, from talking about the old games, the old worlds of power novels, how the BMZ was a love letter to the series trying to incorporate story segments from each of the games/novels.

Thank you all
