You can like it as much as you want. It's not even remotely metal. You pretending like being a Ys fan makes you a "metal games" aficionado is infuriating. Do fans of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" pretend like they know from martial arts? Probably not.


>>259240996
Age has nothing to do with objective qualities that define a genre. Having a handful of metal SCENARIOS does not a metal game make. You need to have metal atmosphere and characters wall to wall.

It's hardly metal. The differences between Glam Metal and Hard Rock are nearly non existent. It's the lightest metal possible. It's fucking aircraft grade aluminum.

Well they are pretty similar, but the left to right view rather than overhead can lead to a lot of differences between them.

Contra had a pretty cool story until SS ruined it. I never did understand who Red Falcon was though. Was it the heart in C1 or the face with tentacles you always fight (which seems to have another name but I can't remember it).

The localization of the early games did a pretty good job doing that first.

The Red Falcon Organization was just the name of the terrorist group in the first game that was under the alien's control.
>Was it the heart in C1 or the face with tentacles you always fight (which seems to have another name but I can't remember it).
The heart is called Gomeramos King
The giant alien face from the end of Super Contra is named Gava (pic related).

Basically the series used to have two different continues. In Japan, Contra was always set in the future, but in America the first few games (Contra, Super C and Operation C) were set in the present. So when Contra III came out and was set in an obviously futuristic city, they came with the excuse that Bill and Lance were actually their descendants (Jimbo and Sully).

Neo Contra on PS2 is one of few games that's completely unplayable on PCSX2. It always crashes at some point on the first level. It sucks because the game is really good.

Contra 4 should play perfectly. Contra ReBirth should also play perfectly but the game is shitty so don't play it because it's awful.

>>259268959
>Contra ReBirth should also play perfectly but the game is shitty so don't play it because it's awful.

I've watched playthroughs of it a couple times trying to get hyped enough to buy it but it just looks dumb. The part where they're jumping between trucks and pink robot camels looks so silly.

Contra IV was as good a sequel as we could have hoped to get from the Contra III / Hard Corps days.

Pixel Art
9 Stages
Stage/Enemy/Boss Variety
Tons of unlockable characters, including the Contra III characters and Probotector.
Unlockable Contra and Super C
Extensive and difficult challenge mode.
Tons of unlockable concept art from the whole series.

It was the real deal and it is a crime that it didn't sell better. I would say its only real flaw is that Fang from Hard Corps wasn't playable.

The death of Contra is particularly sad to me. That E3 teaser got me way more excited than it should have and it seems pretty much dead at this point.

>>259270148
Game is shit. Contra with only two fucking powerups?
Ugly as fuck visuals that look like a bad flash game.
Bad remixes for the music.

Out of the ReBirth games it seems like it was given no budget and noone involved put in much effort to make it.

Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth and Gradius Rebirth are much much better.

Rebirth was fucking great, Konami should seriously just contract out M2 for a full-length Contra 5.

>>259270337
>Unlockable Contra and Super C
More importantly, unlockable NES Contra and Super C.

The arcade version of Contra 1 is fine, arcade Super C is complete shit though. The NES versions of both are much better.

>>259270680
>The arcade version of Contra 1 is fine, arcade Super C is complete shit though.
Always thought the arcade version of Contra was complete shit myself, while Super Contra is quite a nice improvement over it. Been considering single-credit clearing it recently actually.

>>259268959
>Contra ReBirth should also play perfectly but the game is shitty so don't play it because it's awful.
I'm pretty sure anyone who says Contra ReBirth is a shitty game is just mad they can't milk out extra lives like in the earlier games. Git gud.

>>259270148
>I've watched playthroughs of it a couple times trying to get hyped enough to buy it but it just looks dumb. The part where they're jumping between trucks and pink robot camels looks so silly.
It's really more of a parody of a previous games than a legit entry. I'm surprised they didn't remade the Game Boy version (Operation C) like they did with Gradius and Castlevania.

>>259271023
The only thing good about Rebirth is the gimmicky level and boss design.

Everything else about it is awful. The lack of weapons was a retarded idea, especially when they're using the Contra 3 system where you can hold two weapons. Two out of fucking three.

One of which seems to have been put in specifically for no other purpose other than to be 'that' powerup that pisses you off when you get it.

>>259270337
>Unlockable Contra and Super C
It's kinda shit they don't have proper co-op though.
>Tons of unlockable characters, including the Contra III characters and Probotector.
Too bad the default characters are just palette swaps and you can't mix different character types in 2P mode. It's such a wasted opportunity if you ask me.

>>259270497
I am a huge Contra fan and was pretty disappointed in ReBirth. Like you say there was almost no weapon variety, plus the game was what, 4 stages? Maybe 5, I can't remember. On top of that you have the terrible cutscenes which you can thankfully skip.

The playable lizard character was cool though.

>tfw can only play the Japanese version of Hard Corps

Ah you're right, I forgot about no co-op on the NES games and forced 2nd player character choice. Those would definitely go in the flaw category.

>>259277707

Hells yeah, I used to do those all the time in Contra. Usually I could get through the whole thing without dying once. It was so programmed into my head though, since I would play at least a couple of times each day.

>>259279994
Shit, I was looking forward to it. Contra is next then.

The final boss in Contra 3, the brain thing with the spinning choices around him, is there a definite strategy to picking the good choices or it is pure luck based?

>>259280716
Just abuse the pause function and try to calculate what attack mode it will trigger.

>>259280330
OoE is still a good game, but the people who say it's the best Metroidvania even the best one on DS are either waifufags or idiots who think that being more difficult alone makes it better.

It's got the best bosses but the rest of the game feels like filler.

>>259280716
It's not luck based at all, with proper timing you can pick the attack you want every time. I prefer to aim diagonally in the direction of the spinning and wait for it to slow down. One time I managed to get nothing by the power-up dropping attack for the entire fight.

I don't get it. Why does everyone love Contra 4 so much and not Shattered Soldier?

I mean granted I've not played Shattered Soldier much but there were so many awesome moments in what little I did ("Did that submarine just fly?") while Contra 4's most not-boring segment was riding a rocket, which we totally haven't seen before in Hard Corps or anything, right?

Can people not get over the edgy plot twist or something?

Also, might as well post some obscure run/gun type games (Dunno if the Outfoxies counts as a run-n-gun since it's versus but...)

Who cares, it's mediocre as fuck to begin with.

>>259282195
I liked both. People hyped up SS to be the hardest fucking game in existence but I think I S ranked it the same weekend and I'm no game god. It was pretty fun all around, but it's definitely a boss-rush style Contra, which I know some people don't like.

>>259282553
In terms of difficulty, I would argue AC Super Contra (on its highest difficulty) is the hardest game in the series, followed by the US version of Contra Hard Corps and Contra III on hard. Shattered Soldier and Contra 4 are pure memorization games.

>>259244014
We did, it was just released through the Sega Channel, though. So we never got a physical release

>>259243894
The second adventure time game.

The first one was decent

>>259284506
The Sega Channel thing was just dumb though.

But boss rushes are the best games.

>>259288172
Shame Metal Slug 3 has so few of them, and most of them suck though.

Depends on how well it's done I think. Pic related is one of my favorites.

>>259240927

Some of their shat out in three months shovelware is exactly what the schedule and budget allowed for, so don't take their name as a guarantee, but yeah they're pretty good. Also the Regular Show game was supposed to be powerful bad with dodgy hitboxes and the like.

>>259240927
Yes

>needing help

>>259294601
I always found playing co-op was more of a burden in Contra anyway.

>>259295279
I agree, same with Metal Slug. Getting a player who's as skilled as yourself though and you're in for some fun times.

>>259240927
I thought Contra 4 was decent but unimpressive. MSF was mediocre too.

They have made several bad games though. Sigma Star Saga and Bloodrayne Betrayal were flat out bad.

I'd legit hurl a puppy off a bridge for a sequel to <picture related> made by the same team.

>>259296663
This thing never goes on sale on PSN :(

>>259296986
Holy shit whatever they're asking it's worth it. It's really, really good. Easily one of the best download games of the last generation.

>>259297540
I wouldn't go that far but I do think it is excellent and better than Contra 4.

I found Double Dragon Neon to be a disappointment. I wish they had made a proper Double Dragon reboot instead of the stupid self-parody approach they took.

>>259295746
>tfw nobody even knows for certain if Nazca developed Metal Slug although it's very likely
Yes they did you idiot.

>>259297540
I think it's $15. I held out and got Double Dragon Neon last month for $1, so I'm hoping Uprising will get the same treatment in a flash sale soon.

>>259296663

I wish you'd hurl yourself off a bridge

>>259296663
Still have yet to get a single fucking achievement in that game. They're so god damn impossible. Beat the entire game without killing more than 20 some fodder enemies? Get out of here.

As far as I was aware Nazca were bought by SNK before Metal Slug went into development. Nazca made the game but it's credited as just SNK so it's not 100% clear.

Also, don't google image search Nazca Corporation.

I find it highly unlikely Wayforward played DD Iphone or DD Advance and then thought they could go shit up the series with that clunky-ass grindtastic combat.

It was hilarious and had great music but still, that's no excuse.

>>259298537
Just read the credits dummy. Everyone important comes straight out of Nazca/IREM. I don't even think there are any SNK workers of the 16 people mentioned (except perhaps ones that freelanced at SNK every now and then while they were still at IREM).

>>259299487
I will next time I finish the game. I'm super anal with arcade games and only allow myself 1 credit, last time I finished a Metal Slug game was MS3 about 3 years ago.

>people who credit feed

>>259262598
Alien Wars' 3rd level is my favorite level from any game of all time. So much shit going on. The highway level is pretty fucking metal as well.

>>259299112
>grindtastic
If you're shit at gleaming, sure.

>>259300576
You don't have to be good at all. Just gleam and spam fireball for a retarded quantity of damage. That's just it. Because the stats vary so much, there simply is no meaningful balance in the game.

>>259300813
The game hands out extra lives like candy, especially on the final stage. I'm not sure why that IGN idiot had trouble beating the game.

>>259302489
Because there's one single trick to git gud at it and it's easy to miss. It's not like Ninja Gaiden on the non-stupid-cheese shit difficulties where gudness is obvious and easy to understand but tough to execute.

>>259301291
that literally physical border between the screens that covered shots was a son of a bitch though. Goddamn.

>>259235491
Haven't played much contra aside from the first but it's fun.
MS1 will be the best MS game forever though, no contest. Later games have too much stupid shit. Metal Slug keeps it real.

>>259303417
Metal Slug would be the best one if its controls weren't so stiff. Pity.

>>259303106
I wish they had put an indicator whenever a bullet was between screens. What's the point of the blind spot anyway?

>>259304712
Yo man DS! Dual Screens!
but yeah, it was fucked up and made for alot of angry moments.

>>259305206
But is there a way to have a playing field on two screens without the gap on a Nintendo DS? I know Legend of Kage 2 had the same flaw.
