Dude thank you for not shredding the Appaloosa entries. It's really professional and refreshing to see an honest take on them. Rogue Corps too

[@ADistantImage]

@ramrodbldm9876 Haha how triggered can you get over Contra bro?

[@ADistantImage]

@@ramrodbldm9876 It's on mine & your mom's favorites list

[@gerardomena2888]

I feel you on Operation Galuga. It was a slight step back, but I had some fun. Also, thank you for mentioning Blazing Chrome! That game was a blast!!

[@hieioni3354]

Operation Galuga sucks. Konami has been infected by western ideologies. Anyway, I love Super Cyborg and Blazing Chrome!

[@RappingNinja]

Loved this two-part retrospective and wanted to express my appreciation. This is easily the best Contra series overview on the Internet. Thank you for all your research and editing and overall effort!

[@BurstError]

thanks so much! :D

[@iQuitGirls99]

I’ve only discovered your channel today through part 1 (also love the horror game series!). Couldn’t wait for part 2 - and here it is!

[@tazzybakes1169]

gotta say man ur vids are class, presentation, narration, just so much fun

[@BurstError]

thanks so much :)

[@8BitsOfJoyGames]

"ContrAversial" Thank you for taking us on this wild ride through the Contraverse!

[@DanielSanGMR]

As always, incredible work! I'm still waiting for Contra Rebirth's Brownie to be back, I hope someday.

[@NESAtlas]

Another excellent retrospective and I love that intro sequence

[@ThatVSMBro]

I understand we are on part 2, but I had no idea this many contra games existed. I would have said off the top of my dome, maybe 3-4

[@basicfacekick]

Contra, Super C, and Contra 3 are probably all I need. With Hard Corps and subsequent games, it started getting ... weird. What I like about Contra is that it was a straightforward run-and-gun that took itself pretty seriously. Rambo dudes, alien threat, biomechanical enemies, some big set-piece boss fights... simple. When it started going more and more tongue-in-cheek it became a different game.

[@DrMooCowz]

Nice job once again! I'm still bummed none of these games used "the pose" from SNES Contra III, except maybe menu on Contra Rebirth. FeelsPoseMan

[@johnfreeman7444]

hard corps uprising has a phenomenal soundtrack. Still listen to it today.

[@hieioni3354]

Can't believe I used to hate on Uprising back in the day. The game is amazing!

[@TrevinAdams]

What an undertaking!? Well done and thank you for your hard work!!!

[@hieioni3354]

I'd love to see your deep dive into Huntdown, Super Cyborg, Blazing Chrome and Valfaris in the near future :)

[@DB-ek5kd]

The Marc Maron of retro gaming is back! Let's do this.

[@SaanMigwell]

I still play neo contra. I love unlocking everything.

[@hieioni3354]

It's a great game!

[@dudersnabb]

You have way too few subscribers for the quality of your videos. Keep it up! Always a joy to watch your content.

[@sweetbark]

Loved this! GREAT WORK ~ Your eye for the completely absurd/totally awesome is THE BEST. You are amazing at this ~ Miss ya, buddy!! 'FRESH MEAT, AAUGGHGGH!!..'

[@BurstError]

yo Ike! thanks so much, hope you're doing well dude!

[@TheRestartPoint]

Thorough and entertaining thanks!

[@Champion2D]

A fantastic video. Awesome work here. I also really appreciate you giving the ps1 games a fair shake. I enjoyed Legacy of War fir what it was, unfortunately here in the UK the second title never got a European release which was a real bummer.

[@CliveMcGrath-vc5og]

Damn i knew there were newer Contras after the 16bit era but i didn't know there was this many. All i played was Shattered Soldier and a little bit of Neo Contra. SS though rocked!

[@stellardeth]

Awesome video and challenge dude!

[@T.Driglok]

Great video. It's a shame to see Seaman really let himself go. 13:53

[@gameoverhell]

I'm really willing to bet Galuga not turning out as good as it should was Konami interfering negatively with the production. Seeing how Bloober Team is hinting at hating working with them, that might be why their latest published games (that are not collections) have been less than stellar. Grotesque aliens and monsters is definitely more Contra but personally I love the robot designs in Hard Corps Uprising! It's the kind of machine enemy/creature design you can only see in a japanaese game. Anyway great video as always! It was as fun to watch as the livestreams themselves

[@hieioni3354]

Konami had lived long enough to become villains.

[@jwyh4162]

Rogue Core was... interesting. But Shattered Soldier... fucking awesome

[@hieioni3354]

Nah, rogue corps sucks.

[@g40rc378]

Neo Contra was such a lot of fun, and the story was so bonkers! I tried a bit of Contra Rogue Corpse as couch coop, and it was disappointingly imbalanced without doing a bunch of grinding. Maybe the single player experience is better paced?

[@BurstError]

ehhhhhh, single player still plenty slow to get going XD

[@jaquiox]

heeeey it's time let's go!

[@simillarian]

What a foompin good video

[@PixelzNcreatureZ]

Great videos! I didn't realize I own every console contra. And one for pc that comes with castlevania

[@almeidachannel7121]

Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Contra Games !

[@kylewavey6206]

The world wasn't ready for Rogue Corps

[@poil8351]

So legacy of war a c: the adventure were basically pretty good for the technology available at the time.

[@breno855]

Legacy of war looks like a jaguar game

[@SmithJones-rn5kf]

I wanted to like Galuga more but it felt too generic. I wish they could've made a new pixel Contra for modern day like Blazing Chrome.
