    I Loved Contra Force! The low FPS never bothered me. It was my first experience with the ability to chose between multiple characters. It is probably my most played Contra game.

      Glad I’m not the only person who loved this game back in the day. The farming for weapon upgrades was definitely a nice change of pace. It also tied me over until I got Contra Hard Corps on the Genesis for Christmas along with the GB version of Alien Wars

    • @imperialjoe8023
      @imperialjoe8023 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While both contra Nes games are great, Super C is better in my opinion. Even though I like super c better, I do think the first one deserves to be on the nes classic more. The first one is still great in its own right, and had a way bigger impact than Super C.

    I found out about this game a few years ago, and always wondered why it never got talked about much. In the PAL regions, I don't think we ever got this game. We had Contra 1-3 (rebranded as Probotector due to censorship at the time) but we never got Contra Force. Very interesting to learn more about it!

    I discovered this title when I came across a copy and a store that mainly sold used VHS tapes bought from movie rental stores in the late 90s. It only cost a few dollars. When playing Contra Force, I immediately knew it was another Super Mario 2 USA situation.

    I always preferred this game to legit Contra. It's ambitious in the amount of stuff it tries to do for a NES game (destructible environments, moving platforms, switchable characters and weapons) and the soundtrack absolutely rocks. Just think of the slowdown as bullet time. ARC HOUND ftw.

  • @cacophonic7

    I believe “Gradius” is meant to be the English word “Gladius”, which is a type of sword. Gladius is pronounced “gla-dee-us”, so I tend to pronounce Gradius where the “grad” is pronounced the same way it is in “Graduation”.

    • @BorsaMANIAC
      @BorsaMANIAC 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@CookiesNCreme-ty6wz did it really? As far as I know the slowdowns were happening because the game really did push NES at its limits, and either devs didn't "push enough" because of the time&resources issue, or it is on fact a failed experiment when devs decided that they just cannot push the hardware that far and decided, instead of just scrapping, to make a cash grab. Either way, Contra 6 is a Chinese bottleg. There is no way that those people really did fiddled with a code and/or added hardware to the cartridge to make a game run smoother. Or did they? All the Chinese bootleggers usually did is hack games, remove copyrights, sell bootlegs. Sometimes they crappily ported stuff. The real effort is very rare coming from that front, although there is a good stuff like the 8bit port of SNES Aladdin. And I don't remember a smooth Contra 6 play either - slowdowns were there still. Maybe on an emulator it was better?

    Funny thing, is that the key feature from CF went into Contra Hard Corps: 4 playable characters with different height and weapons.
    Slowdown makes the game more cinematic. I've played it without slowdown and it was very average. Even though it seemingly doesn't count as canon for the Japanese Contra story, Contra ReBirth "referenced" Contra Force by using one of its tracks (player select).

  • @ReaperX7
    @ReaperX7 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If memory serves, the developers eventually retconned Contra Force to be in the Contra World timeline, but set out as the first game in the timeline placed well before the events of Contra before the Triumvirate stole the alien artifact and started the Alien Wars, and was the origins of the team lead by Bill and Lance, and if I remember Burns was supposed somehow related to Bill after the Retcon, but it was only a Retcon to mask a terrible decision by Konami.

    This was a very good review of this obscure cult classic. Yes, there are people who liked it. I remember I got this one and Mega Man 6 on the same xmas. I remember that I was kinda shocked there was a Contra I didn't heard of. I gave it a good try and I felt it was way off the series, I remeber I took it out, put in Mega Man 6 and it stayed in my console for several months. I didnt came back to Contra Force until much later in 1995 or 96 when I came home from college. I saw my old NES and decided to plug it and blow some steam. I grabbed Contra Force, wondering why I never played it, the frustratingly high challenge curve early on in the game helped me a lot, now having played harder games it seemed kinda natural. The game to me felt more like an alternate Metal Gear kind of game. I enjoyed it for several months. I feel so sad that I sold this and all my NES games back in the late 90's to Game Stop none of the less! You know I got ripped!

    This is one game I would like to see a speed enhancement hack for. While the slowdown is not great, it's still playable IMO but less slowdown would definitely help. Despite not being Contra I still really like this game as it offers a good run and gun experience and the Gradius power system is really neat. I hope someone finds the Arc Hound beta one day because based on the screen shots, it looks like it would have been a better/different game.

    The thing i hated most was the areas where it just slowed down which had nothing to do with your system, it's how the game was made

    I think Contra Force is a more honest rebranding than Super Mario Bros 2, Yo Noid!, Final Fantasy Legends, Final Fantasy Adventure, Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Tetris Attack... Because Contra Force carries at least half of the gameplay of Contra games, while none of the others I listed have any relation to their series except cosmetics.

    I was thinking about you guys just the other day. This is a great episode man! Say hi to the kids for me and take care of yourself my friend. Edit: I’m going to get tarred and feathered for this but I kind of like Contra Force. ;)

      Thanks JLuv! Yes it is nothing like Contra or Super C. I know you are very skilled at those two games

    I don't get the hate for this game. You get used to the slowdown really quick. This was one of the best NES games I've played and the stage where you switch planes was pulse-pounding!

    Very rare... I actaully saw this game for 100$ in a retro game store. Its been there a while as i get new games at least every 2-3 months....but my question is. Should i pick it up or leave it.

    Still very much love the game despite all its problems. And of course me playing in Russia, it was called "Contra 6" for some reason (Chinese bottleg). We had a good deal of conversations with my friend on what "3", "4" and "5" Contras could look like, as we thought they were definitely existing, of course.

    Contra Force was my fav Contra game on the NES. It had alot of customization tools for the player to play with and was generally very fun to play. Heck i still play it from time to time, and never really touch the original game or Super C.
