fun fact this contra game for wiiware is actually developed by m2 who also developed castlevania the adventure rebirth and gradius rebirth also for wiiware and there currently working on the upcoming new aleste game and if you look closely at the 4:32 mark m2 had snuck in a easter egg of the girl skateboarder from teenage mutant ninja turtles the arcade game a.k.a mutant turtles 2 the arcade game as it was called in the nes port and on a side note r.i.p konami code creator kazuhisa hashimoto god rest his soul
@@ianswift3521 Actually no, in fact somehow I was completely unaware of that one. I'm familiar with Hard Corps on Sega Genesis, but not Uprising. Is it still available to play?
Oh Lord I've played Contra since I was a kid in the 80's. I'm sure the name Plissken is a nod to Escape From New York (1981) In that movie Kurt Russel plays a character named Snake Plissken.
my thoughts exactly when m2 the developer of this game came up with the name plissken for that alien salamander charecter thing as a possible nod to escape from new york all like you said
I never thought i'd ever see a Hard mode run of this game, especially a no-death run. Excellent job! Also: that probably would've been death at 48:19 if the boss didn't die just then.
and during the introduction sequence where bill rizer said what is this place is actually a reference to the short intro of the arcade version of super c known as super contra where bill rizer said the exact same dialogue which is what is this place but sadly you couldn't hear that voice sample in the contra anniversary collection due to either some kind of copyright issue or could be a sound emulation issue on m2's part who converted the arcade version of super c themselves on the contra anniversary collection which is just my own speculation of why m2 have to remove the voice sample what is this place in the contra anniversary collection and also the name of that alien salamander solider thing plissken is possibily a reference to the charecter snake plissken played by kurt russel from the 1981 john carpenter film escape from new york which i could be wrong and the name snake is also the inspiration of the name of another konami charecter which is solid snake from the metal gear series and the part at the 28:27 mark where plinkins said let's attack agressivly is another reference to the intro of contra 3 the alien wars where lance bean also said in the text let's attack agresivly so the more you know and knowing is half the battle lol
you know i just relised that m2 have put another easter egg at the 4:31 mark which the person on the billboard in the background in level 2 is actually dr venom from the japanese and eroupean only msx gradius game called nemesis II including gradius rebirth it mustve took me 11 years sense this game used to be on the wiiware to actually notice that easter egg and i also relised that the name of the charecter chief salamander is actually a reference to the japanese version name of life force for the arcade and nes known as salamander which also took me 11 years to catch that reference it seems like m2 put alot of subtle past konami games easter eggs and references in all three rebirth games that i didn't catch them at first until agrubly over a decade later if im not mistaken
Ok, guys, chill, 😂 I seen people from now in days, who aren't exactly educative raised. Anyway, this game was developed solely for the Nintendo Wii back in 2009, as a digital exclusive game, this means, there is no physical release what so ever. Speaking of modern platform ports, sorry, it has been stuck for a digital Wii game store only, known as Wiiware, and unfortunately, Wiiware, Virtual Console, and other Wii compatible application ports, known as Wii Shop Channel, ceased since 2018, though the channel is still working, but you wouldn't find anything there anymore. The only way to get this game legally, is to make "Konami", make another agreement contract with "m2", since this game was developed by "m2", and not "Konami", despite they own the Contra games intellectual property, or do it the illegal way, modify a Nintendo Wii system, and start throwing all of the Wii's legacy collection in a SD card, or USB drive, connect it up, and play.
Only thing with Rebirth is they needed to make this harder. Contra is fun because it’s chaos and difficult. This one falls short of being really tough to beat.
Oh..a great game. Beautifull sprites,not shitty 3D. I will take it. If you know some great 'neo retro' games...Shmup,run n gun,cute them up,beat them up,plateform...on ps3,ps4,pc... Please make a list,because I almost never play on modern console,I just bought 2 games in two years..Kof 14,Sine mora..and soon Samurai..arcana blades..game paradize... Thanks
More of a re-do, Plissken and Brownie are not in the starting cutscene anymore, so it's a fresh save, probably because didn't have the best quality, but the old one is still on there, it's just not numbered anymore.
I somewhat bashed this game a few years ago, but after that shit sandwich that was Rogue Corps, I'll gladly take this game. At least it was made by people who clearly love the franchise, not just a bunch of politically correct executive pricks looking for a paycheck. Konami sucks ass now.

Did know he passed away until I read this. That's sad. :(
But the Legends will never die.
@@monap8552 Yeah, learned about it from a forum early that day
The paradize have pixel and scanlines..sure.
We miss you so much, WiiWare.
Contra with art quality of Metal Slug? Yes, please!

It looks like a direct sequel to Contra 3 on SNES.
Victor Branco plays like it also.
Actually a direct sequel to Contra 4 on the DS
And Contra Hard Corps
@@commandercharleshoward4262 *plays GTR Attack*
@@NobleRaider2747 Actually, it's NOT a real sequel to Contra 4. This game is non-canon and only pays as a homage to the 2D games.
Love these old gaming style. Fast action with almost no cutscenes.
@Antares Video title for the answer🤦♂️🙄
And very little story lolol
If only Contra STAYED like this... I could imagine how glorious it would have been!
This to me is the last real Contra game.
@@msw0322 did you ever try Hard Corps Uprising ?
@@ianswift3521 Actually no, in fact somehow I was completely unaware of that one. I'm familiar with Hard Corps on Sega Genesis, but not Uprising. Is it still available to play?
Contra Returns is awesome.
@@aodhablackheart What platform is it for?
R.I.P. Contra Code Creator.
A shame this hasn't been ported yet. Come on Konami!
They should of released this and Contra 4 in the Contra Anniversary Collection! Or at least as DLC.
Maybe if Konami had their next anniversary soon, then maybe they will give us an second volume.

Plissken is a fun unlockable character. Not only do you have to be better with your aim, but he references Contra III a lot!
That final boss fight tho, my sides :D
And then a space helicopter :D I can't tell whether this or Neo Contra is the weirdest game in the series.
I never thought i'd ever see a Hard mode run of this game, especially a no-death run. Excellent job!
Also: that probably would've been death at 48:19 if the boss didn't die just then.
I honestly don't remember this game.... It looks badass....

Never played this one. Looks cool, but definitely a different feel than old school Contra.
Gotta love Contra.
I really like the idea of the lezard, it could bring a new kind of game play to the franchise ..
Shame he doesn't have his own weapons though. I'm sick of seeing the spread shot over and over again.

God blessed video.
This game is incredible. Hope it eventually gets a rerelease.
Classic I love it more videos keep it up
..................... What is this place?
A lot of music from Hard Corps!
Awesomeness I got this game on my Wii too
Its a shame that is a digital only release. Is there a "rom" of this? Asking for a friend...
yes. its outthere. just checked... google "Contra ReBirth rom" and the first site has it.
This game looks and sounds great, but that "story" is nonsense.
It's a good thing that stories don't matter in run and gun games.
If I purchase this game from you is there away this game can be loaded onto my Wii U console?
12:40 Sonic 06 had this boss called Egg Genesis though that is near identical?
That living statue is certainly pissed
Genial
Thats an epic

What System was this for? Also are there any ports for purchase on any of the modern consoles?
THE TITLE SAYS IT
Wiiware only.
Seriously? Do you know how to read?

Would look so much cleaner if those round sparks didn’t fly off of every enemy you killed.
the flying xenomorph looking things don't have that happen as I can tell and it does make sense you are fighting mostly machines
Yes because a helicopter in space makes all sorts of sense. Lol
Game looks like it's a reimagining of SuperC.
But it isn't
It's hd version which contra
Oh..a great game.
Beautifull sprites,not shitty 3D.

Super but it's looking like Metal Slug a little bit..

👏👍👍👍🌷

Still dont understand story this contra,this event after shattered soldier right?
This was a download game on the now extinct Wiiware on Nintendo Wii.
This game is non-canon and NOT part of the main series' official timeline. It's an mere spinoff that pays homage to the 2d games.
What the shit with that big red text ? Is the game engine has tiny resolution for this text ? 😂🤣

That game doesn't deserve the right to have the contra name
@@brad9888 True that. Castlevania and Gradius Rebirths look pretty cool too. Developed by Treasure, I think, which is made up of former Konami people.
