NES Contra is awesome, can beat it in like 30 min, great game. I have SNES Alien wars, and that is almost as good.

Note: To those thinking this might be a game recommendation thread, it's not. Only threads that ask general "which game should I get?" or "which completely different game is better, A or B?" questions are filed under that category. So no need to report it. Thanks.

Contra 3 is the best on the VC. chris3116

It's also by far the hardest. My brother and I, who can beat Contra and Super C without even dying, tried for hours over the course of a few weeks until we could beat Contra 3.

I'd suggest getting the original Contra for a newbie to the series. If you enjoy it enough, you'll want to get SuperC and Contra 3 eventually anyway.

All of these games are better with another person, by the way. Play with a friend or sibling and you'll have a blast.

the best contra ever is contra III: the alien wars.

but i think u should be prepared for the most insane difficulty u'll ever see on a videogame. use the konami trick in case of emergency (up up down down left right left right B A start). i just have to know where u have to use it (probably on the pause screen or on the main menu)

I downloaded Contra III for the VC and I enjoyed it a lot, playing it with a friend, even though it's difficulty is insane. We had to try for 2 days until we finally could beat it in the easiest difficulty.

I don't think the Konami code works in Contra 3. You can adjust your number of lives in the options screen.

Real Contra players don't mess with that option. :evil:

Like many have said, Contra 3 is definitely the best, at least the best that I've played. It's also an extremely hard game for someone who isn't into Contra full time, so if you don't like constantly dying, maybe you should avoid it.

I like the first one and contra 3. Seeming the first one isn't out on VC, I would grab Contra 3. On easy it isn't too bad and if you get through one mode it ups you to the next difficulty level automatically when it replays the levels. I try to get all the way though hard without continuing... But some times it is just really hard with those one hit deaths. Good times.

As far as I know, yes. Contra 3 is the one that doesn't.

\ but with contra 3 there are a few places on the first level that you can just stand at and kill endless aliens to score as many guys as you want with 'the old elastic band trick'...

I just noticed now that a game I used to play a hell of a lot is Contra 3 >___>

Here in Portugal, it's called Super Probotector, and the characters are robots, but it's the same game. Lol.

Yap, it's awesome, but I don't remember it being to hard, being that I am a Contra fanatic too! Maybe my version was easier?

I always thought it strange to have the same type of power ups, and other things, but I just assumed it was some reference Konami put in XD
