Before delving into the flesh of this news story, let’s really highlight the incredible voiceover in the trailer above. It’s like being pulled back to the kind of ’90s toy ads that called things XTREME and RADICAL, and we love it.
Anyway, on with the story: Blaster Master Zero 3, the final game in the trilogy, has a Nintendo Switch release date: June 29, 2021, the same day as the launch of Disgaea 6. According to the trailer, this game will be the highlight of the series and will be the NES-inspired side- scrolling shooter story brought to an end.

The action adventure game costs $ 14.99 on the US eShop store and the other two games – Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 – are both available on the Switch eShop for $ 9.99 / £ 8.99 each. Both games also had Limited Run physical editions last year, but they have since sold out.
