unlabelledView post →Once again my lukewarm take is that Contra Force is a fine game. Yes, it could have been better, and it was clearly released too early, but it's a challenging and fun late NES game. Contra series includes games that are significantly worse.

unlabelledView post →Might as well join the trend. There was a top 10 game trend last year, and I removed NES Contra from that list because I only added it to represent the 8-bit part of my gaming history.
unlabelledView post →Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX was the first game I ever pre-ordered - it was an especially good one for me to get cause I could play it in the back seat on the ride home back then in 2002.
unlabelledView post →I will die on the hill of saying that Metroid is probably the worst game ever made if you're 8, visit your friend that has NES games, you play fucking Metroid get bored as shit for the first two minutes and switch it for THE RETURN OF THE JOKER, or CONTRA or wait you have TOTAL RECALL on VHS??
unlabelledView post →I wonder if I should rank Operation Galuga higher. I remember being excited about it upon release, but the game does have its issues. It tends to crash now & then on the Switch, so it's preferable for me to play it on PC. It reminds me of Contra Adventure's 2D stages, so it's at least better there.

unlabelledView post →Both, honestly. Contra on a CRT just hits different, but Super C is the tighter game. If you only grab one, make it Super C.

unlabelledView post →If I were to list more games, there'd be some run-and-guns like Contra and Metal Slug, or some shooters in the Gradius series. Definitely some Metroidvanias. And a text adventure or two. One of the Hotline Miami games? One of the Personas? And at least one fighting game? Good to have a limit.
unlabelledView post →They didn't make a new game for the Contra Anniversary Collection, despite doing Contra Rebirth back then, for whatever reason (though we did end up getting Operation Galuga from WayForward later on anyway).
unlabelledView post →Played a little of the demo for “Castlevania Belmont’s Curse” and I feel pretty underwhelmed. Same vibe as that new Contra game from a few years ago. Bummer. If they do a Switch 2 update, I might dig into that, but not like this.
unlabelledView post →If you're around the #Atlanta area on Tuesday evening, swing by Inman Park's famous Trolley Barn and I'll be playing some tunes to the calling of the legendary Seth Tepfer! Contra is the easiest dance to learn as it just requires walking around where someone tells you to go and listening to some fun music. I play a hybrid of the traditional old-time and New England Fiddle tunes with modern rock and pop, which makes for a fun mashup. #Contra #ContraDance
unlabelledView post →Which would you want as a native SNES port: Mega Man, Contra, or DuckTales? I'd pick Contra for the co-op. Castlevania got its 16-bit makeover, so why not? Reply with your choice. #RetroGaming #SNES #Contra #Poll
