Topic: Considering Castlevania is a close relative of Contra

I'd certainly hope this forum has a few die hard Contra fans to offer :^U

Count me in. Contra 4 has practically become one with my DS.

Contra is fantastic. Well, not all of them, but the sidescrolling ones. Contra 4 is unfortunately not out in Europe yet, and I'm beginning to think that it's been cancelled or something. If that's the case I'm getting the US version instead, cause the game looks absolutely fantastic.

I'm thinking of picking up Neo Contra too, though everyone tells me not to. But I can find it dirt cheap so I might give it a shot anyway.

I still don't have Contra 4.

Play-Asia  it'll probably be cheaper and DS is region free anyway. I have a US version of PoR and i got all the cool promo stuff with it too.

The only thing I really don't like about DS games from the US is the box... I just think american DS boxes are kinda shitty (or maybe I've just been unlucky in the past)... That's why I'm still waiting for a european release. Yeah, I'm geeky like that. But if the game isn't coming here I'll definitely import anyway.

US Cases are shitty - at least ife they're all black ones like i got. they seem smaller and less durable... but if you look after your stuff i suppose that shouldn't matter. It's all a matter of aesthetics really

Contra 4 IS fantastic.

That certainly sucks that it's still not out in Europe though T_T

My entire YouTube page consists of mostly Contra playthroughs and whatnot.

I also heard that the only bad Contra was Neo Contra because of it's isometric view, which kind of messes with the game's dynamics. Ironically this is the only Contra I haven't played ._.

Shattered Soldier was way too hard.

[Vermanubis]

I wouldn't say hard, but it definitely did have a significant learning curve.

There isn't a single Contra that to this day that I wasn't able to run through on hard without continuation within the first week, but Shattered Soldier definitely did give me a lot of trouble and required significant adjustments before I could pull off a hard run.

Hell Yeah Contra is the shit. (cept III but yall already knew I hated III) 

[DoctaMario]

I still don't have Contra 4.

You need to get on that, man! It's a great game that you won't be sorry you bought!

You didn't like the Alien Wars?!?!?

T_______T

[Mr Sven]

It's alien rebels here - I loved that game! and you got to play as cool robots too rather than some rambo/terminator lookalikes

[fallenangel86]

hard corps, the genesis game, you could play as a robot, as well as a terminator look-alike, a woman version of that, and a werewolf.

it's a series i do, and don't like. basically i like it, but i'll never beat it.
