    Hard Corp is the correct speed its just they were playing Contra 3 before hand which is a slower paced game, so going from that to Hard Corp which is frantic as fuck then its fairly jarring!

    Super Probotector was the supposedly less violent version of Contra III: The Alien Wars. It's the same game but the player characters are replaced with robots because some nut thought that robots with guns was less violent than people with guns. It was released PAL territories.
    There may have been some other justification for the change but at the time Nintendo's view was that robot violence was ok for children, but people violence wasn't. This view expressed itself in many titles, including Contra Hard Corps, which also had robotic characters in another version.

    • @DenkyManner
      @DenkyManner 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Think it was a German thing. I imported the NTSC version specifically because I didn't want to play as a robot.

    • @philsangster677
      @philsangster677 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@DenkyManner It was robots in Australia too. I didn't like the video game violence complaints at the time, but I grew to like the robot characters more in the end. They just seemed cooler to me, and more believable because there's no way a person could do all the stuff they could. Super Probotector remains one of my favourite games from the era. For anyone wondering why they called it that, it's a mashup of Robot Protector.
