No Contra 4, either. A missed opportunity to give this gem some exposure. The Castlevania collection is lacking in the same respects; Nothing past the SNES & Genesis games.
Contra hard corps for Sega Genesis is the best contra ever made. I was super disappointed with this announcement until they said it would include hard corps!
Yeah I was worried there for a second, they made it sound like they were done listing all the games after Contra III. Don't toy with my emotions like that, IGN! :P
"Cannot beat Contra without the 30 men code"? Of course you can, but you need to be halfway decent at the game. I beat it before the code was ever made public.
I hope these castlevania / contra collections result in 2 brand new sidescrolling installments in both franchises: Super Contra 5 /AND/ Super Castlevania 5
@@robertbektas1810 And I'm definitely OK with that. Smash TV has been one of my favorite arcade games. I can only hope it comes to the switch some day, even the SNES version would do.
For those who didn't read my full comment below) up up down down left right left right B A for Contra and right left right left down up down up A B for Super C Or at least that's what the codes were back then.
I Wonder if this is a precursor for a new contra title - full aaa game to be revealed at e3 perhaps third person shooter or even a fps - i would be down for that
Contra 3 favorite game of all time!!!! Y not just put every Contra game in the collection? Bastards! Contra needs a damn reboot it's been soooo long!!! 3d over the shoulder shooter!!!! Kinda like gears but with more giants aliens!!!
Woah woah woah, wait! Ive seen my Dad beat Contra 1 and 2 on Nes without dying once! And ive seen him do it many times! Who needs a code?!... well i still do actually
That guy on the left looks like some villain from Die hard movie. I already have most of these games but going to buy the collection as well. Also Probotector 2 Return of the evil forces is missing from the collection, that´s the European version of Super C.
Sorry but the name Probotector was inplemented in all of Europe, not only in the UK! I grew up with Probotector here in Sweden and was shocked when I found out it’s called Contra haha! The Probotector name is for all PAL regions aka Europe/Australia
Gonna wait for a sale. No Rebirth and no DS Contra coupled with the fact I have a Nes and Snes mini and there's a ton of versions of the same 2 games on here make it a bit lacking for 20 bucks.
Only issue here is that you can beat the original contra without the code. The reason being that if you play it with the 30 men enough you start to see a routine and you really don’t die. You would only have an issue at the end of the game and even that becomes repetitive. Easy win.
It's inline with the disappointing Castlevania collection. It didn't even have the 3rd GameBoy Castlevania (Legends) game on it; I don't care if it's unpopular. It's also missing the WiiWare title, Castlevania The Adventure: ReBirth. These collections are lazy @ best. Best case scenario, they charge us for additional collections containing newer games in each series. I'm not purchasing any of these collections @ these prices either.
Could never finish any of them lmao...my big bro is a beast though....I already have all of them across different systems....but I might get it for the switch still
Probotector was not their name in UK and Australia, but rather their name in EUROPE and Australia (actually, the changes were motivated by some laws from Germany regarding violence against humans).
I'm definitely picking it up. But how will the Konami code work for PlayStation? Since it's up up down down left right left right b a select start which will work for Nintendo, Xbox and PC if you're going to use an Xbox controller. We just have to see when it comes out and see which buttons are a and b for the PlayStation controller for Contra
My first time playing contra was in 1985 on a arcade machine outside a retail store in my country mexico in the state of nayarit.Also on my collection.I own supe rnintendo contra alien wars And on the playstation 2 have the two contra games.Are any of the latest contras coming on this collection at all.
So the collection only has the 8 bit/16 bit era games? The 2 PS2 games probably didn't make the cut cause it probably wouldn't fit the collection's asthetic.
Have you played the X-Box 360 XBLA version? It's a remastered version of the original game with improved visuals & audio. They also did nice remasters of Time Pilot & Gyruss on the same platform. I believe they're exclusive to the XBLA network. They may also be backward compatible on X-Box One, but I haven't checked.
I beat the first Contra with out the Konami code or using The Game Genie. I used an NES Advantage rubber bands and a paperweight to lay down at the start of the first level and continuously fire at all incoming enemies over night until I accrued many 1ups. It’s cheating but I did it with out the code.
Why? Because they found a way to make more money and ditched a narcissist who was taken 5 years to make games that hardly generated profits for the company?
@@ShogunTurnip You come on a page about a Contra Anniversary Collection that is being released soon and throw in an off-topic and juvenile "Fuckkonami". If it isn't trolling, then I don't know what it is.
