*First boss's head explodes* Me: Well, that went down easy. Are all the bosses gonna go down that quick *Reveals second form* Me: I didn't need to sleep for the next month or two anyways.
I remember playing this with my big bro and once I saw that thing at 0:45 I was horrified and looked away from the TV while pressing random buttons on the controller and my bro yelled "Stop wasting my lives!". I was 8 at the time 😂. Then out of nowhere I remembered that moment and searched up "contra ps2" and this video came up. Rewatching it gave me the chills and understand why it disturbed me when I was a kid, thank you for uploading this!
Because video games are getting more casual. It sucks, I know. You can check out Super Cyborg on Steam, it is a spectacular Super Contra clone on steroids. Good stuff.
@@JanusHoW Lmao basic weapons or not, I don't give a damn about unlimited ammo. Mainly because of The House Of The Dead series. I mean, we're in for the fun of the games unless if you're 'realist'person haha.
The game is basically a sequel to Hard Corps. In fact chronologically speaking goes like this Contra, Super C, Contra 3, I think the GB game Operation C, Contra 4, Contra: Hard Corps, Contra: Shattered Soldier and finally Neo Contra. Oh and I forgot Hard Corps Uprising, I heard that one is before Contra 1 albeit I dont know if that's true.
It wasn't given very much publicity. It came out at the time when there was an insane amount of unbelievably good PS2 games being released, so I assume it got lost in the shuffle. I think the previous Contra knocked a lot of wind out of the series' sails, too. That crappy top down one. Can't remember the name
I suggest logging into the PS3 digital store and buying it asap. Who knows when theyll take it off. Oh and get Neo Contra too, which is a fun twist to the Contra formula.
+Bayou Billy Well, he turned into a terrorist just like the ex-hero Bahamut because of the corrupt government (who, according to Shattered Soldier, was responsible for provoking the aliens in the first place). The bad guys turning out to be good guys thing is very similar to the Metal Gear series now that I think about it...
I agree with you, however Lance was the Sylvester Stallone alter ego who was with us since the 80's...personally I think it's forced when compared to Bahamut's story. I think we are at the same level of Bionic Commando's Joe here...
+Bayou Billy Not familiar with the Bionic Commando lore. What happened to Joe? Its a shame that Arc Systems didnt get the chance to make a sequel to Hard Corps Uprising. We would probably have gotten to witness Bahamut's turning point into a "villain" with his friend Geo Mandrake.
Sindhu Baskoro Contra Hard corps Bosses are very creepy especially One which come On Air A big Brain With hands who Vomits Insects in his mouth and I cannot Play or fight with the big magnum because Of his creepy face And I never Chosed Option 1 Go after died joe and Go to the end Because The last Level is Sooooo Creapy And is full of bosses:- First a slug Then A frog Java Then a bug Kimkoh Then Mother Alien And Then Alien Cell With Java's Heart And Two Orbs
This game is fucking awesome!!! My bro and I had one hell of a time with this one. To this day we haven't beat it, but many times we came close and did very very well when suddenly lost focus and began dying again hahaha.
Man, the sound design in this game is like a room full of people trying to have conversations with each other by screaming over top of everyone else. I can barely hear the music half the time because all of the sound effects are cranked up so high they're crackling.
1st boss , "how about you kiss my butt?" I never understood how the contra bosses were grotesque alien/humanoids. I only played the classic contras, never got a chance to play the more modern ones. It's as if a Contra movie would be heavy on the Thing vibes. Great video 👍
I own this game and played it a lot when I was young. The furthest I made it was 33:50. Back then, with no TH-cam, I never realized how close Icwas to beating it.

ShinNicoexe 2233 not final boss contra 3
ShinNicoexe 2233 final boss brain giant
Once again, you can consider yourself a hero Shadowserg.
...
Now you have to do Neo Contra as well
Contra always throw me off, what's so alien about these monsters??
I love when Japanese franchises just gradually get more insane and abstract with character and monster designs
*First boss's head explodes*
Me: Well, that went down easy. Are all the bosses gonna go down that quick
*Reveals second form*
Me: I didn't need to sleep for the next month or two anyways.
Is that meatball man
I was really shocked by the second form when I watched this for the first time. Never thought it still has a face at its back after watching this!
Pizza head boss , look at those textures again
Boss after being defeated: 🤪
It’s so gross how it licked its lips eww 🤢🤮
Boss 1. So THAT'S what you were hiding in Contra 3....
4:46 Running with the beat of background music!!!
Yokozuna has one of the most badass redesigns on the series, i loved his battle on the contra hardcorps, and i love it even more on this game.
"go home soldier you've earned it"
contra will always be the best side scrolling action game for ever!
NO! I CANT PUT CONTRA ABOVE NINJA GAIDAN METROID CASTLEVANIA MEGA MAN
The first boss reminds me of Duke Nukem's saying; "Your face, your ass. What's the difference?" LOL.
15:56 Now everyone knows what happened to sea man of dreamcast
he got vengance because of his terrifying look and they way name sounds
16:56 Cuphead frog boss anyone?
@@RicoPrabowo Oh yes
@@RicoPrabowo nooo
I knew it looked fuckin familiar
18:52 “I call this one the “DVD Logo” attack!”
Wuewuewue i call u stupid
Still my favorites Contra game of all time. Also, amazing sound design in this game. Perfection.
Love this Contra. So many great bosses and kick ass music that kicks ass and makes you want to kick ass.
I remember playing this with my big bro and once I saw that thing at 0:45 I was horrified and looked away from the TV while pressing random buttons on the controller and my bro yelled "Stop wasting my lives!". I was 8 at the time 😂. Then out of nowhere I remembered that moment and searched up "contra ps2" and this video came up. Rewatching it gave me the chills and understand why it disturbed me when I was a kid, thank you for uploading this!
And another Contra game that follows the formula of badass robots and creepy aliens.
Contra is always with alien, from the beginning
u have robotech, freaky aliens, transformers,gi Joe, and the ship from Spaceballs....wow awesome 😂
0:45
This game actually looks pretty cool, feels like a real Contra as opposed to that new one I saw
@@falcon98cm The helicopter transformer might be obvious plagiarism but man is that awesome.
The fish boss is the final form of seaman once it reaches maturity
XD
true
Semen and swallow
This game looks amazing!! I had no idea. Those bosses look hard as hell! Excellent gameplay my friend.
23:56 The Final Boss From Contra 3!
Except there's no Brain
Mad props to the dude flying the plane in the last stage, lol.
Hahahahaah that nigga a soldier.
Rahsaan Talley nigga
That jet was a tank..no damage what's so ever lol
The fish boss resembles a Coelacanth/Dunkleosteus with an androgynous humanoid face. Looks cool and creepy in the same time
or metroid queen....
Or seaman
16:30 humanfish was really creepy.
how is the contra series not talked about more, this is timeless stuff
Because video games are getting more casual. It sucks, I know.
You can check out Super Cyborg on Steam, it is a spectacular Super Contra clone on steroids. Good stuff.
@@toyvania My god Ernesto you are amazing
Because Konami sucks now
Well, it's old, it's from a basically dead genre and Rogue Corps sucked lol. Konami has also imploded.
this is like watching a horror action/adventure movie, killer robots and horrifying monsters put together.
Dang, Konami. You used to be cool.
@White Rice but that made by kojima
You're so fucking right! This game is like an orgasmic fever dream right out the of a schizo programmers mind...Damn Komami get back!!!!
EXACTLY! I was reading these comments hoping to find anything resembling sense. This game looks like they put zero effort into it. None.
@@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart I think he meant this game is cool too
@@shinkiro403 you're right. He could have meant that. In that case,, he's an idiot
"Kill it with Fire" The Game.
I'm guessing the secret to the Contra characters' success in their conflicts is that they have unlimited ammunition, as well as plenty of hammerspace.
JanusHoW Don’t forget the indestructible plane. Giant robot, ceasing to be for a bit, giant alien drug trip, flies just fine after.
You never heard of Metal Slug?
@@sinnyjohns4362 Yes, but the characters have unlimited ammo on their basic weapon, plus their melee weapon.
@@JanusHoW Lmao basic weapons or not, I don't give a damn about unlimited ammo. Mainly because of The House Of The Dead series. I mean, we're in for the fun of the games unless if you're 'realist'person haha.
@@sinnyjohns4362 I wasn't complaining. I'm just pointing something out.
00:22 hey that reminds me of that boss from Contra III...so many memories...
00:45 *WHAT THE FUCK*
Pablo Salgado exactly!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Pablo Salgado Gross but really badass.
literally bad ass
The game have references of Contra Alien Wars,HardCorps,Contra,etc. Konami likes make references cameos in all sagas in the games.
The game is basically a sequel to Hard Corps. In fact chronologically speaking goes like this Contra, Super C, Contra 3, I think the GB game Operation C, Contra 4, Contra: Hard Corps, Contra: Shattered Soldier and finally Neo Contra. Oh and I forgot Hard Corps Uprising, I heard that one is before Contra 1 albeit I dont know if
that's true.
@@virtualpellot933 What about Contra: Legacy of War on PS1???
@@CJTranceAddiction I dunno. I heard those are not canon but to be honest I do not know.
@@virtualpellot933 you forgot alien wars.
@@ashwolf2006 i kinda said it as Contra 3, but yes that game is also called alien wars as for contra 2 is also called super c or super contra.
0:45 gave me a reason not to sleep for a week due to excessive nightmares.
I forgot how much fun this game was. Looking back on it now, maybe I should get it again.
I was seriously listening to Shattered Soldier music before this was uploaded... holy crap.
Holy balls
I always knew about Contra but never heard of this specific game, it looks awesome and the music is cool.
Wish I knew about this when I had my ps2
It wasn't given very much publicity. It came out at the time when there was an insane amount of unbelievably good PS2 games being released, so I assume it got lost in the shuffle. I think the previous Contra knocked a lot of wind out of the series' sails, too. That crappy top down one. Can't remember the name
This looks awesome. Shame it hasn't been remade for the current gen consoles.
Boss 4: just realized serpent was eating crawler from the grinder.
Damn.
I never knew Contra was on PS2. DEFINITELY have to try it
I suggest logging into the PS3 digital store and buying it asap. Who knows when theyll take it off. Oh and get Neo Contra too, which is a fun twist to the Contra formula.
*Me:* Wow. Some of the bosses look a bit disturbing.
*Super Cyborg:* Hold ma beer!
GYIYGABITE did u just say a bit? Even my mom and dad had nightmares.
Maybe the designers of this game had a traumatic childhood event like Itoh-san did when he was inspired to make Gigyas from Earthbound.
Super cyborg? Can I have a time stamp?
I enjoyed the video until the part where the frog boss vomits floating testicles at you. Then I started loving it.
I love this game, enemies are both brilliant and unsettling, however I will never forgive them for turning Lance in a foe...
Billy! Gordon has kidnapped Annabelle! You gotta save her!
+Bayou Billy
Well, he turned into a terrorist just like the ex-hero Bahamut because of the corrupt government (who, according to Shattered Soldier, was responsible for provoking the aliens in the first place).

I agree with you, however Lance was the Sylvester Stallone alter ego who was with us since the 80's...personally I think it's forced when compared to Bahamut's story.
I think we are at the same level of Bionic Commando's Joe here...
+Bayou Billy
Not familiar with the Bionic Commando lore. What happened to Joe?
Its a shame that Arc Systems didnt get the chance to make a sequel to Hard Corps Uprising. We would probably have gotten to witness Bahamut's turning point into a "villain" with his friend Geo Mandrake.
Noooo! My Imagine-Stallone.
Still one of my favorite games. Nice gameplay as always!
Best run and gun side scroller I've played period. I cannot find any other game remotely like this one
That robot during the first boss entrance is the perfect definition of me, when I try to be cool in public.
😂
Private cool is better anyway.
26:32 the plane must be made from Vibranium.
You have to look at some of this stuff and wonder what kind of drugs were used to think this stuff up.
Lol
MASTERPIECE. I LOVED ON PS2. Really underrated, though
15:53 That is the most scariest ugliest fish I’ve ever seen.😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟
nightmarish alien bosses... that's contra!
My second top Contra after Hard Corps on Sega Genesis. Most of the bosses are similiar to Hard Corps' bosses.
Anyway, you got mad skills!
Sindhu Baskoro Contra Hard corps Bosses are very creepy especially One which come On Air A big Brain With hands who Vomits Insects in his mouth and I cannot Play or fight with the big magnum because Of his creepy face And I never Chosed Option 1 Go after died joe and Go to the end Because The last Level is Sooooo Creapy And is full of bosses:- First a slug Then A frog Java Then a bug Kimkoh Then Mother Alien And Then Alien Cell With Java's Heart And Two Orbs
There's some bosses in contra 3 like the very first boss.
Yokozuna was in Hard Corps and stops a train there too
@@anasashfaq8568 Learn English before trying to speak it
7:46 I can just imagine several people go awwwww yeeaaah when that happened .
The hardest boss in this game would be the ship you keep riding on.
Whoah these bosses are awesome. Never heard anyone talk about this game.
Lucia: *Saves the universe*
SCP Foundation: Contain her.
Don't forget about Bill, Lance, and the Triumvirate.
0:32 hey look, it's the first boss in contra alien wars
Play this game a thousand times n u still won't get bored
Man want that game,that my teen age days.
Never played this game before, this looks very cool!
all contra players that have 0 deaths are gods
Felix Antonio 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What about [CENSORED](not a bad word)
i,m a god at jagger froid(1st appearance)
Are stupid it is computerized
@@temposmtrills9580 he means super contra
I used to play this game with my sister. How nostalgic.
Giant sea man boss : tries to scare/kill destroying the platforms.
Shadowserg: *Dances to assert dominance*
Ah Contra, never cease to amaze me
This game is awesome. Played it with a friend of mine a while ago.
The other boss battle here in contra was scary 😨😨
It chills my spine when we play this game
I like that the steps the second robot boss takes is on beat with the music
3:40 you need to charge your flamethrower, you have a split second to shoot him if he comes to the foreground
Right in the childhood!
and so ladies and gentlemen that's how you can avoid an unwanted pregnancy
Honestly when first viewing the video and reaching the last few bosses I literally thought this was some kind of metaphor for abortion
I’m soooooo mad I didn’t play this growing up this game looks fun and hilarious😂😭
Yo nunca pude llegar a derrotar todos los jefes. Genial amigo ,👏👏👍
This game was ahead of its time
this game gives me childhood memory
Aw hell yeah! I loved this game
15:53 leonard nimoy: and.. this is the true final evolution of the seamen
maximusdarkultima was Seaman voiced by *George Takei* !? because he sounded and even *seemed* like him !!!!!
So this is high quality Contra Hard Cops, I like it)
Dang the 3rd boss didn't wanna give up at all :O
Which one is it the motorcycles or was it the big drone with two little drones?
@@michaelfarrington9876 uhh it looked like a giant mech robot. Was going after the player even after the top half wss destroyed
Game Designer 1: "So how much acid do you plan on taking while working on this game?"
Game Designer 2: "Yes."
17年前のソフトでこれは凄い!
Easily my favorite Contra, high difficulty though
Weird ass, no-context Contra bosses are a tradition that should be kept alive at all cost.
wow what a great game. love to play it.
Great stuff! Thank you
This game is fucking awesome!!! My bro and I had one hell of a time with this one. To this day we haven't beat it, but many times we came close and did very very well when suddenly lost focus and began dying again hahaha.
The third boss is epic , reminds me of gun star heroes
4:46 That rhythm too
It's just me that likes this scene 3:53
It's quite possible to kill the boss that appears at 3:00 with one charged up Fire blast before it shoots and flies away.
Yeah all it takes is just one hit with the flamethrower shot and its instantly destroyed
R-type, Gradius, Armoured Core.... the various games they borrowed design cues from are both fun, and great draw sources!
couldn't imagine the amount of hours you have playing games lol. very nice to watch.
Man, the sound design in this game is like a room full of people trying to have conversations with each other by screaming over top of everyone else. I can barely hear the music half the time because all of the sound effects are cranked up so high they're crackling.
Bosses look more hilarious than terrifying
Guroga Marduk except the fish this thing was nightmare fuel
Wow, this was on PS2? I don't remember this at all. Way ahead of its time.
Me after 1st boss: "I want this game!!"
Me after 2nd boss: "Fuck this game.."
OH YEAH..........
THIS GAME LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT..........
Teenage me would have been pissed at that lack of an ending!
I remember playing the demo, it was hard as hell.
I wonder what the creative process was for these bosses.
1st boss , "how about you kiss my butt?" I never understood how the contra bosses were grotesque alien/humanoids. I only played the classic contras, never got a chance to play the more modern ones. It's as if a Contra movie would be heavy on the Thing vibes. Great video 👍
28:26 Final boss’s 1st form
tfw when you fight the mecha boss on the train for the first time and he knocks you off the train
YOU CANT FORESEE THAT
8:33 I see heavy inspirations from the Heavy Lobster fight here. Is it just me?
How are the graphics so crisp and clear? My PS2 games never looked this good.
Probably emulator
after seeing this cuphead still has a way to go
ShortCake Kamikaze if they think that's tough they can play any of the ghouls and ghosts games made b capcom or ikaruga
ShortCake Kamikaze yeah I’ve *tried* to play contra 1 before. didn’t go too well. (Dead within the first 3 minutes.)
If Cuphead would of came out in the 90's it wouldn't be consider that hard and we would of beaten it. Battletoads
Cuphead has different difficulty settings doesn't it? and besides, it's the hand drawn animations and live music that people love about that game
28:27 - Hey, is that the Emperor from the second the House of the Dead game?
No this is his uncle the emp-bu
I was well entertained like I watch the 30-minute movie it was worth my time thank you
I own this game and played it a lot when I was young. The furthest I made it was 33:50. Back then, with no TH-cam, I never realized how close Icwas to beating it.
15:53 my favorite part.
