We loved both entries in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/blaster_master_zero_2\/reviews\">our reviews<\/a>, and while we&#8217;d often tell you to go and play them right away if you haven&#8217;t already, in this case we&#8217;re going to advise you hold off just a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the physical specialist Limited Run Games recently took to Twitter to tease some sort of Blaster Master announcement for next Monday.

A lot of fans are also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NinaGoemod\/status\/1263966195151224832\">requesting<\/a> a double pack as well.
