I don't understand the complain, games shouldn't exist because YOU doesn't like it? You don't have to buy it.

@brewin

That's exactly what you are doing, not letting other people have their opinion. Don't act like you are the victim.

" Wow, lots of trolls on this site lately. Nah the games just are not fun.". You can say that, but they're the responsible for influencing a whole genre these days, along with Metal Slug. Even indie games haven't released something similar to these two in my book. I thought Blazing Chrome would satisfy that need, but it didn't.

+ Super Contra, and the PS2 Contra games are still decent to this very day. Don't forget the Genesis one as well!

The problem is your opinion on the games. They don't suck. At the time, they got high praise and are still fun with friends. I still play them. Just recently I was playing Yie ar Kung Fu and getting my butt kicked by Tonfun and Blues. But I got my revenge after several plays. Only difference between now and then is that my hands hurt from age.

Contra was simple run and gun with big bosses. It worked. It still does. I agree that I'm not into most mobile games, Tencent and Konami sitting on great IPs. But a lot of companies sit on great IPs that could be remade. It is what it is.

But wanting something new doesn't mean those games sucked. It's why everyone disagrees with you. You want us to accept your opinion. Accept our opinion that you're wrong.

Come on, no need to attack brewin for his/her opinion. I bought the contra collection awhile back too

The fact of the matter is not everything from yesteryear was good back in the day.

I enjoyed contra in my elementary school days, but when it comes down to it, the game was average. Heavy Barrel was actually a better game

Dude. Contra is one of the best game in the NES and SNES days.

See the problem is, you posed a question. "Do we really need more Contra?" The answer to that from many people and myself would be absolutely, if done correctly..it was a very popular franchise, enough for you to have purchased the old games for $5.

Then you went ahead and said other people only like them because of nostalgia, and they really suck..and then call the game "Shit". When people disagree, you say you dont care and call them a defense force? Try not coming off so aggressive and people might resepct and have a normal discussion with you. You cant tell people what they like and why they like it.

Then you went ahead and said Castlevania is still fun.. you see, it's all your opinion but you present it like fact and come off bullish and prick-ish about it.

I would love to see a new 2D Contra with some nice updated graphics, QoL changes, hard skill based platforming and huge boss fights, no 3d stuff..some awesomely animated 2d action in the vein of Super Contra would be amazing to me.

Now it's just embarrassing.

*I never realized how much these games actually sucked.*

*Nah the games just are not fun.*

*I beat the game plenty of times on NES and Snes, it's just not fun anymore and they don't hold up well.*

*The only fun i had with the Contra collection was with hard corps, which is barely a contra game*

*I even tried playing it with my 16 yr old and 7 yr old. They also thought they sucked and didn't see what the fuss was about.*

*I think the old games are crap. I liked Hard Corps, but the old contra games are not fun to me anymore.... I just think Contra is trash compared to other games from that era. It took me replaying them with my kids to see that. That's how I feel, I don't give a shit who disagrees with me.*

See that? That's *PLURAL* Do you know the definition? You're not being consistent. You say one game but go on to say all contra games. And the fact is, those old games don't suck. The list of games in that collection don't suck.

We all AGREE with you that not all attempts to revive it were good. We AGREE with you that Konami is sitting on great IPs. We AGREE with you that Contra deserves better than a mobile Tencent game.

We DON'T agree that those games from the past suck. Contra 1 doesn't suck. You just no longer want to play it and want something new. There are plenty games I no longer want to play from Pong all the way to now. Doesn't mean those games suck. You just have a taste for other games to play. Your family doesn't represent all contra fans. How many kids today would go back to play NES games or Atari games? Not many. Their opinion doesn't count Because they didn't live in that era. Calling us trolls when you're the odd man out just makes your inconsistency embarrassing.
