Contra III The Alien Wars: Why the Hype? - SNESdrunk

[@This1spurecrap]

too short? XD I've had it for about 20 years and I haven't seen the ending

[@Texy88]

You only get the proper ending if you complete it on the hardest difficulty setting. A friend of mine and I managed this (eventually) back in the day but it took several attempts!

[@DocDelray]

I love how everyone poses with the two guns in the same spots in the first level without ever being told about it

[@geovani60624]

That's because of the demo

[@bra1nc417d]

@@geovani60624 It's interesting, how much of a different meaning, the word "Demo" meant, back then. Imagine what a kid would think about those old demos, now days. Example: Kid walks away from the game, while at the title screen. The kid comes back with snacks, and see's the game playing its self. Kid freaks out and thinks his room is haunted.

Dunno, game is hard but not THAT hard. It's about memorization. Unlike Contra Hard Corps, which is memorization PLUS good reflexes (because of how fast that game is).

[@Blueflag04]

That is true

[@stucazzo2000]

SNES has just too many classic games. Even the first gen games are amazing. Still in my opinion, the best console ever.

[@replay.5990]

Agree👍

[@cube2fox]

Its successor had _a few_ great games, most notably Zelda OoT and Zelda MM, which are arguably significantly better than Zelda ALttP. But the SNES had _many_ great games. Even the generally praised Super Mario 64 wasn't remotely as fun as Super Mario World in my opinion. (Jumping on enemies' heads is so imprecise in 3D that they had to give Mario the ability to punch. Generally there is much more walking and much less jumping because of 3D.) And the two Rareware shooters aged badly. The developers hadn't really figured out 3D at the time, and they didn't realize that not everything needed to be converted into 3D. (That comes from someone who had a N64 but never owned a SNES.)

[@sanjitter]

Switch will beat this

[@Manays]

sanjitter no I don’t think it will, switch has too many rereleases i mean sure it has sold more but you can’t beat the absurd amount of classics on SNES

[@sanjitter]

Manays i actually think super mario world isnt as great as smb3 or super mario 64. The only problem switch has is 3rd party r rereleasing compared to making new games.

[@yerk55]

12:00 - I'm cursed to spend my entire adulthood inexplicably unable to forget its official name is the "Tri-Transforming Wall Walker". I don't know why I cannot forget this. It's the only enemy in the game who's name I know.. apparently forever. Long live the Tri-Transforming Wall Walker!

[@2001mark]

C3 gives me that true arcade approach - the game you're playing is so challenging, yet you know it's not impossible so you keep coming back for more. Tremendous SNES visuals & audio, it's Contra NES on steroids. I still can't defeat the missile/rocket boss fml.

[@SpikorEMoUC]

Fun video. I always enjoy watching other people who love this game play it. Two things I noticed in your gameplay. One: The rockets that "Always kill you" before the Tri-Transforming Wall Walker? Just shoot them. Just shoot directly down. They'll never hit you. Two, you can hold R to root your character, which lets you shoot on the diagonal without moving.

I usually don't like "let's play" videos. But this is my favorite review of yours. It captures exactly why the game is so awesome, and then, your reason to just play the darn thing is fantastic. I also love Stage 3, and it is also one of my favorite stages ever, especially with a second player. Keep up the good work SNESDRUNK!

You should continue this way of reviewing, just put more emphasis in explaining your thoughts on any given game. More than enough gameplay.

[@nAmE7056]

And also you are allowed to pause the game to get out your thoughts.

I would also hope that you figured out that in the top down levels, you can duck enemy fire by holding B. With no need for ducking behind obstacles

The mini boss on level 3 that blew your mind is the same mini boss you knocked down moments before - back with a vengeance.

[@Trevdawg48]

I have watched dozens of your videos, and this is the first one where you were drunk (or at least admitted it). "H" = homing missle. Also, you should have switched to your other spot, so you could keep spread, and have homing missles, the two best weapons in the game.

[@chazzz284]

Gamers growing up today have no idea about these classic games. This wasn’t the type of game you’d take home, play for several hours, and then have it beaten on the 1st or 2nd day. You’d simply get burned out if you attempted that. You’d play a bit, take a break and play it again a little later, get a bit further, and keep repeating. Maybe after several weeks (or longer) you’d finally be able to beat it. It took to to be able to complete these games.
