First contra was scary, actually. It has some creepy alien vibes.

[@jackylee5850]

Well it was based on Ridley Scott's Alien franchise after all.

After watching this, I have a newfound appreciation for Contra 4.

[@WoodyHaldrugold]

This new Contra game combines elements from Contra 1, Contra 2 (Super C), and Contra 3 (Alien Wars), and I absolutely adore it. In the past, I found the Stage 1 Boss in Contra 1 to be too simple, but now they've crafted a fusion of the two mini-fortresses from Contra 1 and the third boss's mini-fortress from Contra 2. Now it looks more like a boss.

[@fishyfinthing8854]

Some NES bosses are kind of weak. It doesn't take a 4 year old me many try to exploit.

prefer the art direction of the original tbh...one of the best gaming memories was first time playing Contra on the SNES on co op killing the 2 robots, then the footsteps start, the awesome soundtrack kicks in, then Big Fuzz comes through the wall...great stuff. 👌

[@artsparadisopracticaleduca4378]

Hello game designers for Contra Operation Galuga, I think you did a great job at recreating the essence of the original game, which is something that is not easy to do with most remakes, because a lot of the times, developers make too many changes that make the game feel different. Then, there are times when developers need to add new ideas, but the ideas need to look and sound as if they are extensions of the originals. This isn't an easy task, but I think you did well here. One thing I noticed at around 9:09 of this video clip, the cave level - the tunnel looks like it could be further developed to be a part of an entire level and still look and feel as part of the original.

[@Olagfigh]

It's already out and the game is great. Unfortunately only 8 stages, like most of the Contra games. But there plenty of option to play with (perks, few difficulties, local co-op up to 4 players but without online multiplayer). Maybe you want to wait for sale, but definetely worth playing.

Anyone who loved Contra and then claims to dislike this you must be kidding. This was like a love letter to the series and they incorporated 3d without taking away from what mad Contra great

The first boss in Operation Galuga is a fusion of the original Contra mini-fortress and the third boss mini-fortress from Super C. Overall, Operation Galuga takes elements from Contra, Super C, The Alien Wars, and Contra Rebirth.

[@phalaunnaphatsiriwongs5983]

The combination among episodes is so attractive that I can’t wait to buy one.

[@imacreatorofworlds]

I personally enjoyed those surely unlicensed references to Aliens and The Terminator in the original game. The new game also feels decent, but it's a different game now.

[@ermatthe]

Love how they leaned into the Aliens references in Contra. Character names Lance Bean (Lance Henriksen x Michael Biehn) and Bill Rizer (Bill Paxton x Paul Reiser)

It was meant to be an Alien game from the start. But the 20th Century Fox wouldn't strike a reasonable deal, so Konami rebranded it a little and made their own franchise. The same way as StarCraft was meant to be a Warhammer 40.000 game.

Nice and ok as this was a reboot. I just hope the next Contra game will have more original stuff. It’s ok to mix in some more from contra 3/4/ Hard corps. But I want to be surprised and getting “wow” again. And only new things really do that to me

[@forteexe1335]

Actually lead to the story it was a prequel to Shattered soldier

[@BrendanHeyman]

[@lordgargamel4124]

The last boss is actually inaccurate. Contra Galugas last boss, when its attacking the ship you see it from its profile. He looks exactly like “ Java “ from the first NES game. This is Red Falcon. The “ mother alien “ as you know is called “ Gava “. She didnt appear untill the second coming. Super C. Her lineage is Black Viper. Contra Wars was both lineages attacking Earth in a united front. Both Gava & Java are equals to their own Kindred. They are two entirely different beings / DNA strands, but of the same world and cause. It is implied Both Red Falcon & Black Viper are bio weapons of the actual aliens attacking us as reviled in shattered soldier. I understand that this is a reboot, but it does take reference directly from the old games. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see the actual mother alien Gava in the next game.

[@itrgaming1585]

Great video! the creators of the new contra did a great job for those that appreciate the originals!! Thank you for this game!

in classic contra, you have to destroy both hands of Gromaides to make the fight easier. But in Operation Galuga, destroying Gromaides' hands made the fight even more difficult.

I feel like a ton of people skipped hard corps which is unfortunate, killer soundtrack

[@Olagfigh]

As much as I like Contra 1, Super C, Contra 3, 4, Rebirth and Operation Galuga as much I don't like Contra: Hard Corps. It's too fast, too chaotic and it's soundtrack is some kind of "cat's music" based on "meow meow" sounds :D (melodies are fine, but sounds aren't...). But true, Operation Galuga has some references to Contra: Hard Corps, for example Fang is in the game.

Wait a minute, which system is the original Contra from? Because that spinning shooter was not after the defense wall on stage 1 on the NES. You killed the guy at the top, broke the two cannons, then broke the generator at the bottom, and that was it, on to stage 2.

Correcto. El título debería decir que es la versión de NES y no que es el "original", pues antes había una versión para arcade

Sí, pero la versión de NES, al menos la que tengo, no tiene la segunda forma del jefe en la etapa 1, y la versión arcade en los EE. UU., al menos, se ve completamente diferente en comparación con la NES.

5:10 Boss in Operation Galuga has named as Devil Worm. But yes, this is similarly to Crustacean Cruiser. 8:17 This boss is called as Metal Alien. 10:23 Final boss in Operation Galuga is not Emperor Demon Gava - it's Dragon God Java, but it gets similar abilities and Searle-themed brain. P.S.: And yeah, you skip miniboss from Operation Galuga Level 2 - Armored Truck aka Dogra. Dogra is miniboss in Level 5 from original Contra.

[@Einzeller2010]

Crustacean Cruiser: When the original looks better than the remake.

[@2006man]

Emperor Demon Gava here feels more like Black Viper, like going through his body to get to the head/brain. The spiked car boss in stage 2 is probably based on the similar-looking enemy/mid-boss from Contra 1's snow field stage. Crustacean Crawler coming out of the train reminds me of the train boss from Rogue Corp.

[@davsdf1]

Historically, I've thought and called Gava the "Ground Beef Brain Boss."

[@MK-fi4cd]

Great video but at 10:37 that Java is based off of the long dragon-looking head that shoots out Alien Shrimps from its mouth in Contra and Contra 3. The design is very.similar as well.

[@purebaldness]

When I first saw this game, I wasn't sold on the presentation. Hell, I'm still not. However, it's very clear that the devs care deeply about the franchise and want to do it justice, which I can wholly appreciate. I'm going to wait for a sale then get involved. It's a similar situation to Metroid - we don't _need_ series definiting masterpieces for either franchise (though that would obviously be amazing), just modern titles that are damn _good enough_ and don't stray so far from their roots. At least that's how I see it in these two cases.

[@Ozker9]

The music was better in the old games, don’t really hear it on the new one. Plus that sound when you shoot the bosses too 😅

[@johnnyappleseed8127]

Use can change the music in the new game to the old ones and they also have a remix version of the old which is good that you can choose from. I grew up on the old one as well and they did a fantastic job remaking this one but I agree the boss music while it’s not bad it doesn’t have that bass and swag to it.

I'm not a contra fan. however the new game did a good job reimagining the bosses I think. yes the game is certainty low budget but the animations are smooth and gameplay doesn't look bad. I'd say that the new one does suffer from the detailed backgrounds. the original allows you to clearly see the threats and dodge them accordingly whereas the new one throws stuff that's barely visible sometimes and will probably get some cheaps shots on you
