Contra (Arcade) original video game | full game session for 1 Player 💥👾🕹️

How can a NES port outshine its arcade counterpart, its unbelievable.

[@bubufubu]

How can a localization be worse than the original port (Family Computer). It's unbelievable.

[@frogmaker2412]

⁠@@bubufubuThe reason was that Konami put custom chips in the game but they couldn’t put them in the nes version of Contra because of a rule but I forgot what exactly is the rule. But yeah the famicom version is way cooler with the map and the cutscene.

[@bubufubu]

@@frogmaker2412 Not just the map and cutscenes between stages. There's also the title screen, the intro, and the lively backgrounds. The original 8-bit port of the game shits all over the localization.

[@frogmaker2412]

@@bubufubu Yeah I know when I posted the comment I thought of the animated background.

February 20, 1987…and violent movies-mixed with massive amounts of bloodshed-were all the rage. It was truly designed by Koji Hiroshita and beautifully composed by Kazuki Kitamoto. Aliens in guerrilla warfare was ace in my book!

Faço aniversário no mesmo dia que este jogo e só fiquei sabendo agora graças ao seu comentário. Sou de 1995.

Dang it,arcade version is more close to early 3D,and its more excited

[@VahanNisanian]

Though not as iconic as the NES adaptation that came out a year later, this initial version is pretty solid. Though I will say that I think the Jungle, Maze, Maze Boss, and Energy Zone tunes sound better in their original respective keys. The "Energy Zone" theme even has more segments to it that apparently, because of size limitations, the NES version couldn't handle.

[@bubufubu]

Actually, the Family Computer port is the iconic version. Also, your post neglects to mention that the console ports, along with their hardware limitations, have the benefit of coming out later. Developers could use that time to change/tweak things.

Arcade game version is pretty good, but the gameplay time is too short, most recommended that creators can best make at least half hour long so we are very appreciated for that awesome shooting game! 👌👌🎮

[@bubufubu]

It depends on how you play the game. Try point pressing and watch the difficulty increase. The game also lasts longer that way.

[@gooeydude574]

Wait it’s only 8 minutes long?

[@persona83]

An obvious case where the NES version is better than the arcade in every way.

[@bubufubu]

Obvious case where the Family Computer port is better than the localization.

[@TheArchelio]

No ofense to the NES version but i prefer this versión rather than NES(maybe because that's the first contra version i played together with super contra).

[@bubufubu]

Contra (Arcade) is great. There's more than one way to play it to extend the time and increase the difficulty.

👍😘

[@NelsonWin]

It's funny that people can't accept the arcade is better than NES/FC version.

Aliens but NOT Really Aliens

Contra en su versión arcade tiene las mejores melodías

[@maximilianoatencio]

Igual yo me quedo con la versión NES! Es más: Jugando Contra en el Family fui un CRACK en 1998!

[@marcos7336]

Es idea mía o contra en su versión arcade es más corto que en su versión Nintendo entertainment System

[@maximilianoatencio]

@@marcos7336 la versión Arcade es más cortita, amigo!

[@marcos7336]

@@maximilianoatencio la versión arcade hace mucho quilombo

*Some may call this game just another cheap ripoff which I find utterly stupid.*
