If you love retro-style action-adventure platformers, you might want to check out Inti Creates' Blaster Master Zero series.
The good news is the reboot trilogy of the original NES game is on its way to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S this July. Pre-orders on Xbox will open two weeks before the releases, and there'll be a 20% discount offer.
The first game in the Blaster Master Zero series was originally launched on the Switch and 3DS in 2017, and the third game in the series arrives on all platforms on the same date (July 29th).
Across each game, the player takes control of the SOPHIA vehicle in side-scrolling sections, and the character can exit the tank to access other parts of a level.
Will you be checking out this trilogy series when it arrives on Xbox next month? Tell us down below.

Even if you are not a fan of every game, you have to appreciate how much third-party support Xbox has achieved recently, Japanese support, in particular.
Jason Frudnick. That's so NES. ðŸ¤
Yes, finally!
@GunValkyrie Yes, I’m also getting all of these day one and I hope for more Inti Creates goodness on Xbox.
Really enjoyed the first one on the 3DS! Never played the sequels, nice to see them arriving on Xbox.
First two games are fantastic, definitely anticipating the third one. Good games to put on Xbox, hopefully they put the first few Gunvolt games on there as well.
Blaster Master Zero 1 & 2 are amongst my most played Switch games, and the third one is probably my most anticipated game for this year. It’s great this is coming to Xbox too.
I'm amazed at how long it's taken Blaster Master Zero to come to Xbox. Seriously, these games will do fine on the Xbox family of systems.
Played and loved the first 2 on Switch. Really good games.
@BulkSlash Are they very difficult like many indie 2D games?
@BlueOcean No, in fact quite a few people complain that they're too easy. Part of the beauty of IntiCreates retro games IMHO is they perfectly recreate the retro aesthetic and gameplay but with much more balanced difficulty and plenty of quality of life improvements.
@BulkSlash That sounds great to me, thanks!
