Robot2600 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Which is best? The classic SNES platformer, or the excellent DS sequel? For me it's a tough call, and I'm going to go play each game for a bit before I make my final call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Contra: Hard Corps on the Genesis beats them both. If I had to pick between the two though, I'd go with Contra 3. The dual screen gameplay is irritating to me in 4, it just never feels right for me to have that chunk of plastic between screens. I can't very well process both screens as a single one that way and tend to miss what's going on on the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Contra: Hard Corps on the Genesis beats them both. . Game's too damned tough! lol Contra III for SNES is my favorite Contra of all time. Difficulty is perfect and the level designs are close to it. Outstanding music as well. Break out the a/v cables and crank it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficulty is perfect and the level designs are close to it. Outstanding music as well. Break out the a/v cables and crank it up! Contra III is just as tough, IMO. The first two stages aren't that hard, and then the third stage is practically impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can I pick Gunstar Heroes instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Personally I'd take Hard Corps over either. But Contra 4 is better than 3 in my book. There's something about Part 3 that kept me from really taking to it. I should devote more time to it any actually complete it for once (which I have yet to do, whereas with Hard Corps and Contra 4, I have finished them countless times). Maybe my opinion would change after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) I really didn't care for either but I guess I disliked 4 a bit less than 3. Tough call, though. I dunno, maybe I'd rather see a low quality tribute band than a past-his-prime rock star muffin-topping over his leather pants. I liked Super C a lot, though. My hands still have that game memorized.

Robot2600 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 I still can't decide. I'm pretty good at 3, but I suck at 4. I think my DS's d-pad is kinda messed up it never did diagonals easily, but anyway its just hard as hell. I can barely beat the first stage in 4, but I like the idea of playing a difficult platformer on my DS lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a flash cart and you can play the NES, SNES and Genesis Contras vier emulation on your DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot2600 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'd rather play Contra 4 on my Wii xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
