The original blaster master on nes is actually my first favorite metroidvania, more so than castlevania or metroid ever were.
I bought the original remake on my switch like 4 years ago and honestly forgot all about it until now. I see there’s 3 of them and no one talks about them at all.
Are they bad?
Hey again! I released my first GBC patch: Blaster Master - Enemy Below (USA, Europe).
https://github.com/treyturner/analogue-pocket-patches#blaster-master---enemy-below
While I was learning how to patch, I documented my findings and process in case it interests anyone else. I'm used to coding in high level languages like Java and Python, but I was totally new to assembly except for a few code-oriented games. I found patching to be a great practical introduction to the subject; maybe you will too.

Feedback is more than welcome; you can post here or open an issue on GitHub. Have fun!

Ferrum Forge makers choice master blaster. Sculpted handle has cool lava look. Incredible one of a kind knife for sure. Has a little wear on the finish as you can see. Really sharp mirror edge, blade finish looks good. At least the 3rd owner, unfortunately I never had card or pouch/dogtag. No defects & action is sweet. I just don’t carry so letting go. SV WITHDRAWN
Boker sal manero stingray. Custom green/bronze ano, 440c blade is pristine, hasn’t been used, factory edge. These are long discontinued. Have box. $150
Cold Steel golden eye carbon fiber version, s35vn. Carried & used a little, hasn’t been sharpened. Still in really good shape. Have box. $100SOLD
Ferrum forge/massdrop crux. Not your standard crux, has been customized. Sith theme. I never used this knife, doesn’t appear previous owner did much either. $150SOLD

So I bought and played the Blaster Master Zero series this week. Here are some thoughts.
Blaster Master Zero is the most metroidvania and had the best exploration. I didn’t even realize it was a remake until after I beat it. I say the only real problem is the boss fights are really easy and don’t require much thought
Zero 2 is my personal favorite the map is a bit more disconnected compared to the first game but the dungeon layouts are still really good. I think it has the best story of the three and I like the feeling of exploring through space.
Zero 3 was a good conclusion to the series. I think if I had to place it it would be my least favorite by a hair. The whole hyper dimensional space gimmick they added it made map navigation a bit unwieldy. Also temporary upgrades would stay listed on the map and it made it look like I had a bunch of stuff I missed. It’s a minor issue but I always like having a clean map when I’m done. Still all that said I think it was a very satisfying conclusion to the story of Jason and Eve.
Overall great series really fun to blast through.
Personally feel like it's blasters> greatsword>sythe
With blasters, you have to watch you're movement/spacing, as well as keeping the opponent out of your deadzones. And considering right now that all blasters weaker matchups are all meta right now, it's even more difficult to pull off in the current meta of brawhalla.
Considering the 45° angle is blasters weakness, it even worse. Most people hover at that angle to attack. Sythe, hammer, katars, canon. It is literally a death sentence for a person that cannot space that. Spacing doesn't just stay the same, you have to constantly adapt.
Sythe only requires good reads, if you can do that, the weapon is as smooth as butter.
