Was there any reason why Konami never released the original NES Contra on Nintendo's downloadable services? I heard it might have something to do with the Famicom version using a special mapper, but that wasn't an issue with Salamander and Gradius II apparently, which used similar mappers. Another speculation is the fact that Bill and Lance looked way too much like Arnie and Sly on the title screen, but that's not something that couldn't be fixed with a simple redrawing.
>inb4 paying for ROMs
I already have the ROMs for every regional version, I'm just genuinely curious why Konami hasn't re-released one of their most iconic games on modern platforms.

I don't think so. Xbox 360 only had the arcade version of Contra (which was also on a Nintendo DS compilation) and that's now on PS4 too.

Nintendo could have the power to block the NES version from getting released elsewhere. Microsoft could have exclusivity rights to contra 1 for the Xbox arcade, banning it from any competitors.

Well, probably not exactly, because that would have allowed a loophole for contra to be on the NES mini, assuming nintendo didn't get lazy, which wouldn't make sense cause it's just a rom.

Except MS never had any exclusivity agreement for Contra. They only had the Arcade Contra on Xbox 360 and that was also on PS4, PS2, and Nintendo DS.

It's the NES version that never got re-released (except for its inclusion in Contra 4 on DS).
