    Grew up with Hard Corp, still my favorite entry.
    Also Hard Corp Uprising is still playable on Series X/S consoles.

      Other than the somewhat "drab" Genesis graphics (compared to Alien Wars), I agree it's the best Contra game. If only they kept the Japanese challenge settings the game would have been much more fondly remembered in the West. A Contra game where the player had a health bar is difficult for some people in the West to fathom :)

    I can relate so much with the feeling of accomplishment I also felt when beating it WITHOUT the 30 guy code. (Of course, the following loops get harder so slowly, you barely notice it until a few loops in and you're like "wait a sec, was there THIS many troops causing this much "slowdown" before?") 🤣 Another fun goal to set for yourself, is beating it around the 9th loop or so your score will "freeze."

    The original CONTRA VIDEO GAME 🎮 🕹 came out in ARCADES when I was 10 years old back in 1987.💪

    Hard Corps on Megadrive is still THE best Contra for me. We've played countless hours with friends and finished all possible endings of the game. Graphics were amazing, insane dynamics, many-many inventive boss battles and one of the best soundtrack ever. The game has endless replayability. We played japanese version ofcourse. I still replay it from time to time.
    I played Contra 3 after that and it felt oh so slow and boring. Even NES Contras were more fun.
    DS had such a low-low res screen that Contra 4 was unplayable for me. And vertical screen orientation was only good if you have one eye above the other. But as I have standart eyes I prefer wide-screen field of view.
    C the Contra Adventure on PS1 was somewhat playable. And Hard Corps on PS3.

      Although I loved Contra III because I played it on SNES a lot, I was recently able to play Hard Corps in its original version and now it is my favorite and also the best of the saga, the game is really great for everything it offers, it was a shame that Konami decided to change the difficulty for it foreign market.

    For one, the game I played was under the title Hard Corps: Uprising, so I'd have no idea it was even tied to Contra. Did it include that title in EU or Japan? This was news to me.

    Rebirth and Hard Corps Uprising need to be put on a future compilation. Sucks that they were only available for download.

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't find Contra: Hard Corps as difficult as people say it is. I've completed the US version without dying with just about all the characters.

    Capcom? Contra is a Konami franchise. Did an AI narrate this?

    That new contra game that recently came out something about it I just really couldn’t get into it. The graphics didn’t impress me. The gameplay was solid didn’t feel right and overall just felt, lacking. It looks like a mobile game released for consoles. Funny enough it’s graphics is similar to another mobile game called Contra Returns. Difference is Contra: Operation Galuga doesn’t require an internet connection and isn’t littered with micro transactions and daily login bonuses.

    Dude, it's definitely about the gameplay. What narrative, even?

  • @nathanhale7444
    @nathanhale7444 Před 5 měsíci

    The only one I think I ever played I thought was just about fighting drug rings. I found on the 2nd part of the first level there was a spot just before you exit a warehouse where enemies kept respawning. I used play dough to hold down the fire button and just let it do what it did and ended up with maxed out points.

    I watched all the video hoping to see Hard Corps Uprising (I did not remember if it was really a Contra Game). It is sad that Konami decided to use the name Contra in so many bad games, but did not stamp a big "CONTRA" logo in this awesome game.

      It was an intentional decision to not use the Contra name as it was conceived as a spinoff series but unfortunately it was the only game we got. Would have loved some followups.
