Gorn is forever! Technosoft released Blast Wind as a Saturn exclusive in , but rumors suggest an arcade version had existed for several years.
ShimaPong — a MAME developer known to be a reliable source for information on Japanese arcade games — claimed to own industry publications that advertised a release date for this arcade version of Blast Wind. The plot thickened when ShimaPong quoted magazines that slated a Technosoft game named Inazuma Saber for a release.
He described Inazuma Saber as a lighthearted revamp of Blast Wind — complete with selectable ships and comedic dialogue between the pilots. Why was the arcade version canceled? What happened to Inazuma Saber? And what motivated Technosoft to resurrect a shelved arcade game for the Saturn?
The simplest answer to that last question is that Technosoft needed the money. By , times were getting tough. It might be that Technosoft dusted off Blast Wind as a stopgap measure until the release of Thunder Force V in the summer of The deal fell through, and Technosoft folded shortly thereafter. Technosoft entered the Japanese computer market in Fundamentally, the Thunder Force games distinguished themselves through four key design choices: rollicking synth-metal soundtracks, lengthy stages, varied weapons, and a focus on shooting over scoring.
These traits defined the Thunder Force vibe and, by association, the Technosoft brand. Hyper Duel crunches the Thunder Force level flow and art style especially in the Saturn remix into a bite-sized arcade experience. In contrast, Blast Wind comes out of left field as a game hellbent on defying expectations. The energetic soundtrack from company staple Tsukumo Hyakutaro sounds like it could be from a lost Thunder Force game, but the similarities end there.
Although there's nothing particular to mention about the gameplay, it's a highly recommended game. Flyer: No Flyer Available. Show Rating? No Users Average Rating. Page viewed times.
