Inti Creates is a prominent developer and publisher that revitalized classic side-scrolling action with the Blaster Master Zero series and the Azure Striker Gunvolt franchise. They also developed and published the retro-styled spin-off Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon and the comedic shooter GalGun 2. Their work frequently pays homage to 8-bit and 16-bit era aesthetics and gameplay mechanics.
Founded in 1996 by former Capcom employees, the company established itself as a premier partner for high-speed 2D action. Their publishing portfolio solidified this reputation through key physical and digital partnerships. In 2017, they launched
Blaster Master Zero, a reimagining of the classic NES title, which later received a physical
Blaster Master Zero [Best Buy] edition. This success led to the 2019 release of
Blaster Master Zero 2 [Classic Edition], further cementing the franchise's revival.
Simultaneously, the company expanded its proprietary universe with the
Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack in 2017, compiling their flagship series and paving the way for the
Gunvolt Chronicles franchise. Their expertise in retro-style design made them the ideal choice to develop
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon in 2018, which garnered a dedicated physical
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon [Classic Edition] release. Diversifying their output, they also published the rail-shooter
GalGun 2 in 2018, which later saw a budget-line re-release as
GalGun 2 Best in 2018. Through these specific physical editions and franchise expansions, the publisher bridged the gap between digital-first indie development and traditional retail distribution.
