About Blaster Master Zero

For those unfamiliar, Blaster Master Zero was a remake of the classic SUNSOFT game, as well as a reboot into a new series! Starring young science genius Jason Frudnick aboard the Metal Attacker SOPHIA-III, his trusty frog (?) Fred, and the mysterious Eve, it quickly found an audience of both fans of the original and players brand new to the franchise.

In 2019, Blaster Master Zero 2 saw Jason launch into outer space on a journey across dimensions, directly following Blaster Master Zero’s story. Jason encountered many new faces, including the pilots of other Metal Attackers and their partners, greatly expanding the Blaster Master cast and universe.

Jason’s thrilling saga came to an exciting climax in Blaster Master Zero 3, as the worlds of “Blaster Master” and the original Japanese “Chou Wakusei Senki Metafight” collided head-first on the planet Sophia! Jason would encounter friend and foe, both old and new, on the planet which served as the stage for the original “Metafight” game that gave birth to the series. I hope all the fans out there have gotten a chance to play it!

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 Gets English Voiceover & Limited Run Games Release

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2

Today is a big day for Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2! In our special livestream featuring the legend himself CDawgVA, we announced that Luminous Avenger iX 2 is getting full English voiceover and a Limited Run Games release!

It’s a Gunvolt dream come true!

The inclusion of English voiceover in LAiX2 is a first for a self-published INTI CREATES game! It’s something that I, your friendly neighborhood producer, have been hoping to do for a very long time, and let me tell you Gunvolt faithful, it feels so good to finally bring this goal to life.

With the help of the wonderful Diana Garnet (who some of you may know as the singer of the opening theme from Dragon Marked for Death and the English voice of Joule in the Gunvolt OVA anime!), we put together an incredible group of voice actors to bring this cast of characters to life.

Hearing characters speak English in a self-published game just hits different, and I sincerely hope you enjoy experiencing the game with English voiceover!

Without further ado, let’s meet the cast of Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2!

Copen – Alejandro Saab

Lola – Cassandra Lee Morris

Kohaku – Kira Buckland

Null – Natalie Rose Hoover

 

Dacite – Connor Colquhoun

Vespa – Brittany Cox

Autochrome – Daman Mills

Brigade – Steve “Warky” Nunez

Hail – Jennifer Losi

Ace – Arin Hanson

I can’t wait until everyone can hear them in action when Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 releases on January 27, 2022!

Speaking of the release, I’m also very stoked to announce that our friends at Limited Run Games are bringing you the exclusive physical release for North America on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4! Pre-orders begin on January 25, 2022! This is the only physical release  of the game with an English cover and an ESRB rating, so make sure your region matches up accordingly!

The game is pre-packed with both English and Japanese voice acting in addition to the Kohaku Otori boss battle DLC (get a taste of the Kohaku battle during a previous livestream)!

It just wouldn’t be a Limited Run Games release without a sweet collector’s edition, right?  This baby comes packed with an adorable Lola pod keychain, so you can take everyone’s favorite robo cutie with you wherever you go! The soundtrack includes both the vocal tracks and stage BGM tunes as well, and we’re finishing it off with high-quality art cards of all the main cast from Luminous Avenger iX 2!

Just a little less than 2 months to go until Luminous Avenger iX 2 drops on January 27, 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam!

Today we have a sneak peek at the opening sequence to the game and introductions for the  main characters! Enjoy!

Blaster Master Zero 3’s Opening Sequence!

In Blaster Master Zero 2, after a long and
perilous journey through space, Jason and Eve
finally made it to the planet Sophia.

―――However, a new crisis was already
there lying in wait for them.

They were attacked by Sophia’s army, the Sophia
Force, and their Interplanetary All-Terrain Battle
Tank “G-SOPHIA SV” was rendered inoperable.

Jason, Eve, and Fred were then captured and
immediately separated from each other.

“Why did they do this to us…?”

Before Jason could find any answers,
the Sophia Force base where he and the others
were being held captive suddenly fell into chaos,
allowing him to escape and recover G-SOPHIA SV.

The fate of Jason and Eve,
and the fate of planet Sophia…
all revolve around the threat of the mutant scourge.

But now, an interdimensional reversal of fate is beginning…


Meet the main characters from Blaster Master Zero 3!

Young Man Confronting a “Reversal” of Fate

Jason

“G-SOPHIA SV and I will never back down from our fight to save Eve!”

Jason is a young man who has battled against the mutant scourge aboard the battle tanks SOPHIA III, SOPHIA ZERO, and G-SOPHIA.

His intergalactic journey to save his partner Eve, who had been corrupted by mutant cells, at long last brought him to the planet Sophia, where he was captured by the planet’s military, the Sophia Force.

After taking advantage of a chaotic situation, he managed to escape and reclaim his new tank, G-SOPHIA SV.

He now finds himself desperately searching the planet Sophia for Eve, who has gone missing.

Partner Who Disappeared Into Super-Dimensional Space

Eve

“Don’t worry…I found the answer I needed.”

Eve is a young woman who crossed paths with Jason on Earth.

She is the support droid for the battle tank SOPHIA III, and she and Jason formed a deep bond during their battles against the mutants on Earth.

However, Eve became corrupted with mutant cells during their battles, and was in grave danger.

She overcame her corruption after battling the mutants in super-dimensional space, but after getting captured upon her arrival to Sophia, her whereabouts are
now unknown.

Mysterious Creature with a Shiny Metallic Body

Fred

“Ribbit ribbit!”

Fred was originally created to be the support drone (aka Support Animal) for the SOPHIA III battle tank, but has since formed a very deep bond with Eve and Jason after their journey through space togetherand their battles against the mutants.

He has the ability to create wormholes, which supports Jason and G-SOPHIA SV in their searches in many ways.

Supeme Evolution of the Metal Attacker

G-SOPHIA SV

Official Name: “EARTH MA-001 SV GAIA-SOPHIA SV”

Based on the designs for SOPHIA III and SOPHIA ZERO, G-SOPHIA SV is a new interplanetary all-terrain battle tank (Metal Attacker) co-developed by Jason and Eve during their time on Earth.

It comes equipped with the Gaia System, which converts impacts to the vehicle’s chassis into energy.

The original G-SOPHIA parts that were destroyed during their journey through space were replaced with parts from the Metal Attacker ANDREIA that Eve had a fateful encounter with in Area Ω.

This refurbished version was given the codename “SV”, which stands for “Supreme Vehicle”.

We’re Bringing Back “INTI CREATES Live” Streams

We’re still delivering the content you expect from this show, but with a new group of MCs: Diana Garnet (singer of the DMFD theme song, English voice of Joule in the Gunvolt OVA anime) and Kenta Tanaka (Bandit in DMFD)!

We also have a special video message from Dragon Marked for Death producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto (HAKAMA) and more that you absolutely won’t wanna miss!

Start Time: Tuesday April 7th @ 8am Eastern / 2pm CEST / 9pm Japan

Watch it Live on YouTube right here:
