Contra Anniversary Collection Review! - Electric Playground

[@CatsGamesWhatever]

I wish the Castlevania collection and Contra collection got physical releases.

[@eddsnake]

Castlevania Collection is now getting a physical release from Limited Run Games on Switch and PS4.

[@Niko-ys9ie]

Wish granted

[@AndresR2588]

Contra brings back the good times when I played my NES back then. A must buy.

[@niXtreme]

I dislike how this channel only has 40k subs.

[@EPN]

Aw thank you! Please help spread the word! :)

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

We just gotta keep spreading the word

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

@@EPN Lol I hadn't seen the official reply before I typed mine

[@raptureDJ]

I never knew they had a page on YT. Glad I found them again. Been a fan for yeaaaaaaaaars.

[@numptyur]

It’s a total shame, easily a top 3 video game channel.

[@marcustmachado]

This collection is really amazing. I am playing so much of it. So happy to have those classic Arcade, Nes and Snes games on my Ps4.

[@TastyAbbyJamz]

You know I've been waiting on this Konam-issance for some time! I hope these collections open the doors to even more collections and, dare I say, new games from classic Konami franchises! I'm totally down for a modern Time Pilot as you've mentioned several times! Bring it all on! 😄

[@EPN]

Abby you are on point as always! Time Pilot FTW!!! If you ever want to send us a Buried Treasure please feel free! :)

[@TastyAbbyJamz]

Oh, don't get me started, Vic! 😂

[@BenRai2k]

Contra 3 will always be my favourite. I wish this collection had Castlevania Rebirth and Contra Rebirth from Wiiware included

[@UofG2000]

I grabbed the Castlevania collection on Switch, going to have to get this one too!

[@SilverAxe13]

Definitely on my list to pick up. Love Contra.

[@jat2319]

Great little summary as always Vic!

[@aliens4582]

I used the word Radical to describe Contra for NES, I thank you again for another most necessary review 😎

[@PongbyAtari]

Everyone needs a "Add Pad V2" I bought mine on Amazon this adds a true dpad to your left Joycon I have been using this for months and love it. Also a "Flip Grip" for your TATE orientation titles your golden with these 2 accessories. There are a lot of great accessories for the Switch these are 2 of my personal favorites. Thanks for the Video so many great collections and games for the Switch so little time.

[@marcustmachado]

Contra 3 is the best. Amazing graphics, sounds and music.

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

No it isn't

[@chucklea5898]

Rad, awesome review...I gotta pick this one up.

[@TomFJM]

Love the thumbnail. Rock on Vic 😎😎😎

[@kevinramirez3134]

Hey Victor, if you love the Contra Anniversary Collection and played Contra 3 The Alien Wars and Contra Hard Corps, be on the look out for "Blazing Chrome" for Nintendo Switch developed by JoyMasher. It is a new Contra style game inspired by Contra 3 and Contra Hard Corps. It is amazing! Check out the trailers for that game. Blazing Chrome releases on July 11th. Also, are you going to upload more seasons/episodes of The Electric Playground and maybe even Judgement Day on your channel?

[@kevinramirez3134]

@@dylankohn , Shut up.

[@garyk5277]

I'm with ya Vic, buying this on sale. I grabbed the Genesis collection too...I hope the most famous cheat code around still works because like you said, these are hard.

[@DS-xn6ju]

It's official, EPN is a vintage gaming channel now. Can't wait to see Vic's Angry Nerd persona🤓😜

[@IRWPD]

Can remember playing Super Contra for the first time. Thought it was the coolest game ever.

[@XxDyneXxFreeEnergyx]

At 6:13 the way he fell off screen had me weak 😆😂🤣

[@rajeev_kumar]

Very nice..and really good reviewer..

[@sheraz1015]

I am a Hardcore fan of Contra..

[@gringobronx7670]

The Konami code works on the nes version only in this collection

[@davegabriel]

Can't wait to play this and the Castlevania collection!

[@Huddy40]

8bitdo sn30 controller is a big help for these games.

[@javonjames4573]

I still want a ninja turtles collection!

[@davidnec571]

I was just thinking about this today. All 3 games were made by Konami, so I think it’s possible. I would love to see it happen.

[@davidnec571]

@Tom Ffrench Yeah, I think Konami would have to get together with Nickelodeon and strike a deal. Probably neither side cares enough to make it happen.

[@Markkent77]

I got this digital contra on my ps5, but seems to be stuck in demo mode! How can i play these games on my system?!!?

[@Fabisgreat]

Did you figure out how to fix it, i wanna download it for my ps5 please help

[@Markkent77]

@@Fabisgreat yeah it's working

[@dolo747]

amen to everything you said in this vid

[@AlterRaigo]

Can you enter the Konami code on any of these titles? That would complete the trip through memory lane!

[@lordbaltimore8317]

🤬FUUUUCK!😭

[@kadosho02]

Definitely never was meant to be a cakewalk. Konami code was the best thing. Tough as nails, but an insane ride. I agree access to the entire library would be sweet 😃🎮 someday

[@ronjeremy4571]

I miss G4 Electric Playground kicked ass!

[@nozomusuzuki7916]

Contra was awesome.

[@mushi1985.]

Yes they can released like anniversary collecion Robocop, terminator, xmen, power rangers, batman all they can😊

[@evilash570]

Contra Hard Corps kicks ass!

[@ConwayKitty]

Wish the arcade version would let me keep continuing like I put another quarter in or use Konami code I just can't beat it without that code want to so bad.

[@eleven7104]

Wish it was a physical release also no contra legacy of war ?

[@LakeCrystal]

What does vic think about the new Contra game coming out ?

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

No Contra 4 huh

[@genericname872]

Physical! Please!

[@simbalionsnowpaws765]

What about Legend of Zelda and star 💫 fox 🦊 collection that be awesome 👏😎

[@Sk8erPhatCat13]

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start. Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart

[@JustinLeeper]

Why is Victor shooting from the hip in like a park? Honestly curious. What’s the gimmick? Is it a “playground?”

[@wrathless7498]

Not a gimmick, Vic had a video game review tv show for 20 yrs called Reviews on the Run. He's the OG on camera game reviewer. They had a set but did the reviews at different locations, all over the world. Epic.

[@wrathless7498]

During Covid he reviewed from his basement. I'm sure he's glad to get out again.

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

Still holding out for a special limited edition Physical Release

[@eckteckteckk171]

Dream on

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

@@eckteckteckk171 It could happen. Stranger things have happened.

[@eckteckteckk171]

Konami said METAL GEAR SOLID5 was the last physical release

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

@@eckteckteckk171 There is still money in physical releases, they'll find that out soon enough. And frankly when all the "Kill physical" morons realize that without physical game prices still won't drop, it will cause a resurgence to the physical console market. As long as dedicated consoles exist, there will be a place for physical media. Especially considering one third of the North American market which is still the biggest gaming market in the world, relies on physical media (rural areas or lower income homes without internet...etc...). Now when game companies kill consoles and devote entirely to PC and Mobile then yes physical games will die, but until then, Konami could still pull their heads out of their asses.

[@eckteckteckk171]

Konami recently said they focus on mobile.And the next consoles generation will be digital only.Im not for digital but in the coming years it will be a reality.90%of sales came from digital format and they save so much compared to physical .No need of plastic case,cd,papers etc.

[@ninjasec]

probotector, was because of censorship

[@EPN]

Figured :)

[@eckteckteckk171]

I complete ALL the games and still no TRUE CONTRA WARRIOR trophy,WTF?!?!

[@Bleak5170]

Love EPN forever Vic but I must admit I'm not loving these cringing faces you're putting in all the thumbnails now. You're above that sort of thing.

[@EPN]

Thanks for the support! ❤️ We make a ton of content. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy some of the thumbnails. Please let us try different things and keep figuring this platform out. (This is Vic)

[@Bleak5170]

Hope I didn't come off as harsh. Just been watching you since 1997, (and have met you in person), so it was just a little weird seeing these clickbait-like thumbnails. Will never stop watching though.

[@ITNoetic]

Looked like a Contra reference to me. And on Midsommar, it's a horror flick. I haven't noticed a trend otherwise or had any issue. Cringe away IMO
