too short? XD I've had it for about 20 years and I haven't seen the ending
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!
Not surprised
This game doesn't take shit from anyone lol
Remember that you can farm for lives.
@@richardmyers5732 😂😂
Contra 3 isn't one of the easy Games...
I love how everyone poses with the two guns in the same spots in the first level without ever being told about it
That's because of the demo
@@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.
@@bra1nc417d yeah, nowdays the only thing that would happen is some cg clip starts playing
I did it because of the back of the box
I wonder if there was a screenshot on the back of the box.
Me: "I like this guy's reviews! I wonder why he's called "SNES drunk?"
*Watches this video*
Also me: "Alright, now I get it. Mystery solved."
Yeah I was like "he doesn't sound that drunk..... okay yeah he's drunk"
🍻
Bring back actually drunk SNES drunk.
This video has made me very self-conscious about all those times I got drunk and wanted to show someone something I absolutely love.
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!
That is awesome! Thanks for that anecdote
Hail Tri-Transforming Wall Walker forever!
was always scared of that shit when i was younger lol
The TTWuWu!
😊@@alejandropardo4891
only 6 levels? i don't think that matters when you cant get past the first 30 seconds....
Lol.
He was drunk when he played this
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).
That is true
Alcohol calms nerves
"Its hard to talk while playing this game"
Then
"I can just plow through this game without even thinking"
I like how he simultaneously talks about how easy the top down level is and then immediately gets killed a couple times
Omg yes! Not expecting you to just say "why am I reviewing this? Let's just get shitfaced and play it!"
SNES has just too many classic games. Even the first gen games are amazing. Still in my opinion, the best console ever.
Agree👍
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.)
Switch will beat this
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
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.
That first level track just nails how awesome this game is!
Pleeeease do more of these drunk let's play videos!! They're SO entertaining to watch, it really feels like watching one of your friends showing off that they still can play like a bad ass in spite being drunk lol!
Yes
This is my favorite SNES drunk video ever.
As soon as they say “let’s attack aggressively” you know shit is going down.
Letso attacko agglessively!!
It's probably something like 積極的に戦おう which sounds fine in Japanese but translating 〜しょう/おう to "Let's" makes it sound like an educational children's TV program instantly
We should hang out and get wasted and play Contra.
Just saying.
Cheers
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.
4:02 “I don’t know what ‘C’ stands for.”
Answer: Crush-gun.
I've also heard Crash Missile... Never had the booklet so idk..
@@dude_8434 I DO have the original SNES version of _Super Probotector: Alien Rebels_ (which is what it was originally called in PAL regions) and the manual calls it the Crush-Gun. I have just this moment looked at the manual online for the game under its original _Contra III_ title and even that calls the same weapon a Crush-Gun.
H stands for Homing gun which chases the enemy. It is just like the enemy chasers in Metal Slug. S stands for spread gun.
@@aloksinghbbk I used to think it was Heat Seeker.....
But then I saw it seek out robots.
Cannon
LOL. First time I ever saw someone do a Michael McDonald victory cry. That should be a thing.
"I just gotta adjust to his... bullshit..." life advice
Just got my SNES classic yesterday! I can't wait to get out of work! Lol
I totally did the "badass pose" too at the same point when I was a kid and even today. (Also where the plane drops the bombs)
come hither gents, and we shall attack the aliens in an aggressive manner!!!
I've been watching these videos for years but had missed this one somehow. You are absolutely adorable and delightful, and made me remember how much I loved this game.
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.
This is the first SNES Drunk video I ever watched. Pretty tight man
Woah... Having only ever "nes'd" Contra this looks Epic. That Top Down spin is a freaking awesome turn of gameplay! Cool playthrough Drunk!
I loved playing Easy 3 lives and continuing on until I ran out of continues. I made it to the end boss on Hard but could never beat him that final time! Love this game!
"Corporate wants you to find the difference between this two pictures" *shows picture of spinning bar miniboss and wall climber miniboss* "They're the same picture"
[C] stands for CONTRA!
You are a good person sir. You're very confident in who you are. As someone who is learning, i appreciate the inadvertent exposure to it, via your videos. 😎🤟🤘
Love this game tons of nostalgia. First game I ever played actually when i was like 5 or 6. Never could get past the wall climbing boss robot thing though.
That wholesome Midwestern accent plus the profanity is hilarious.
That background of the first part of level 3 is my favorite.
I loved this! I've watched a bunch of his reviews but I've never seen him actually play a game drunk like this! Any other videos where he does this???
He also played Super Ghouls n Ghosts
This is your best video on your channel! Keep it up!
This is my favorite game of all time.. As a kid I used to pause the game and listen to the music. I recently downloaded the soundtrack to level 3.its a tough game, especially for kids but exciting and rewarding. I still play it on my phone to this day
This game was one of the coolest games ever growing up in the 90s, the action was soo intense and very fun, one of the best games ever!! Classic.
I'm a big fan of your reviews and respect your work in the subreddit. With that said, this is one of my favorite games ever, and this is my favorite review you ever done. 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!
I also do the "Bad-ass Pose" at the top of the pillar. Rad.
Which subreddit?
That pose with the fire snake and the spinny shooty move on the corpse of the spinny top down boss is sooooo oldskool xD
Snes drunk, the modern day hero!
Well it’s quarantine time and I’m drunk, and it was fun watching someone drunk review an awesome game while being drunk
The C "Crusher Bomb" is the strongest weapon although it comes out slow but in quick short bursts can do loads of damage.
In the Japanese version, the guy doesn't want to attack aggressively, he says what amounts to "Lets get those bastards!" Couldn't get that line in the US with NOA at that time though.
"The ultimate respect for the wall climber monster thing..."
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
Nice bud ! Just started playing with my daughter in the snes classic. Lots of fun
We sir, are brothers. I drink, I play SNES and NES and Genesis. Your conversations with yourself are pretty much the things my dreams are made of. They are what I say, far too often. Good luck, good sir!
Jeffrey Osborn Do you ever get sad when you remember playing these games as a kid?
SocialdDem I don't. It's easy to be nostalgic for what you did as a child, or even just being a child, but honestly being an adult is waaaaaaay friggin better.
The mini boss on level 3 that blew your mind is the same mini boss you knocked down moments before - back with a vengeance.
I’ve been binging your videos, and this by far is now my favorite.
Dude, that 'wall climbing bastard' IS the same thing as what you fought before below. It came back. That is what is so epic. Music is perfection as well.
Just found your channel and you sir have very good taste in games. Love your videos haha
You can hold the bumper buttons to station your self so you won't move when you are in a angle or aiming at things.
I remember playing this game when I was really young with me and my brother and was really hard and now you can play on the Super Nintendo classic edition and it brought a lot of memories but I have to play it alone because I don't have any friends Cinema laser so I appreciate this game a lot because I wasn't always like this
I'd like to get hammered and play with you
Love this game. Used to be able to beat it without continues!
My. favorite. channel. of. all. times!
In November of 2020, I beat this game on hard mode for the first time. I didn't know about the bonus boss! I am so relieved to have finally finished this game. I also beat Double Dragon II: The Revenge on NES on Supreme Warrior difficulty in the same week, and fuck, that had a hidden boss, too!
Oh man I love this game so much action I love all the Jump'n'Shoot action and playing it with your friends.
On stage 3, right as you beat the wall climber and get to the top. I used to attach a rubber band to the fire button, move to the very left of the screen, and farm lives for the next stages 😂 would walk away for about an hour and come back to max lives and lose them all instantly hahaha
At 5:30 his laugh syncs up with the turtle’s animation 😂
Contra III is the best Contra game. Its level design is unmatched.
Patriarca - This and Super C!
I know this is late but "C" stands for Crusher. Love your gameplay.
Good game, bought my copy for a dollar and it was totally worth it!
Ed Berns
Most games are worth it for a dollar, even merely okay games.
The phrase "Let us attack aggressively" reminds me of ""All Your Base Are Belong To Us".
I can hear AVGN with the drunk reviews
"So What's the Problem?!" Lol
Nice things about this game:
-music
-sound fx
-"super bomb"
-more weapons
-you can dual wield weapons
Lot of fun watching the playthrough! I should try this one drunk on hard for fun (still taking 7 lives though).
1 of my favorite channels!!
Hey SNESDRUNK i have a question for you concerning this game when you die and you switch your regular machine gun before you do does it take away both of you gun upgrades or not? bc in contra 4 it only takes away the gun you had equipped during your death.
Not from the SNES era, I know, but my favorite line from any game ever is from Blood Dragon:
"Blind me with your cyber-love."
Hd remaster now for this game now!
I've recently played it for the first time, instantly loved it, and now looked up a review on TH-cam for it
So I've just learnt that most people don't like the top-down stage - but that was my favorite stage so far!!
This game was siiiiick. This is meant to be a tricky game but when I was a kid I battered through this in a weekend. I suspect that as I have gotten older my skills have reduced significantly...
You definitely put the drunk in SNESdrunk and I enjoyed this
This game blew my mind when I was a kid. I liked the top-down levels, they were fun.
The colors are gorgeous
Making Snes Drunk name in use, nothing like some beers and this channel, cheers!
It wouldn't be a Contra game without dying in the first 5 seconds.
I have this game for my Gameboy Advance SP and it's my favorite Contra 🎮
Finally! Someone who shares my enthusiasm for this game!
Final boss sequence is one of the greatest ever in video game history the simplicity is mine blowing. And you're very intelligent for realizing how contra just borrowed from what was cool at the time
I finished it as a kid and loved the fuck out of it. One of my fondest games ever. Still play it every now and again. Sweet game.
More drunken play footage, goddammit!!! It speaks to me as far as being a beer-drinker and hell-raiser. This is wonderful!!!!
Man my buddy I played this non stop in the 90s
Just because of that im going to play the anaversay edition when i get home i can relate to game play funny as all hell
We always called the first boss “the turtle With Problems”
i like the top down levels! is that really a thing!? most people dont like those?
Level 5 makes me wanna puke...
Awesome game though
I think they're the best part of the game.
great great great game!, love to play it with my dad and brother.
You should continue this way of reviewing, just put more emphasis in explaining your thoughts on any given game. More than enough gameplay.
And also you are allowed to pause the game to get out your thoughts.
I wondered where the Drunk part came in at... I see now 🤔
Im getting this on virtual console, it will go nice with my Snes special edition 3ds XL
Alright, when you busted out the "Takin' it to the streets" you got me.
Man this game was awesome. Used to rent it al the time and play with my brothers.
I've only just seen this video... You should do more of this 😂😂
You’re a blessing, thank you
Very funny video. Awesome game!
You play this better drunk than I did sober. Man, I'm terrible.
We definitely need more drunken gameplay reviews!!
Only just realised that the 2005 War of the Worlds movie nicked that opening
