Hmm...willys85...Contra is "crap" compared to Silent Hill and Winning Eleven? You must have a really low opinion of Contra, or you think that Silent Hill and Winning Eleven are some of the greatest games ever, in which case you're probably in a very small minority...haha. No, seriously, I can't really say having never played WE and only having played SH on the PSX (seemed good, but not THAT great). But I can say that Contra is loads of fun, and I know a lot of people who say that Metal Gear's storyline half ruins the thing. And where's the fun in that? haha...

OK BUDDIE!! if u had a job, your first job lets say, and it payed u $10 an hour.... but then u saw another job that gave u $100 an hour for doing the exactly the same task, would u stay with your original job because it was your original job?? HELL NO!!!

and if your going to think that way, then why isnt almost EVERY company developing for nintendo b/c many of them made games on that system before!

oh, and incase u didnt know, contra was a multi platform franchize!!! there was a contra on sega!

meh, i'm through here, i just kinda thought that post was a lil dumb sayin u lost respect for them for making a good buisness move!

The only "bad" thing I heard about Contra was that it was "too hard."

I personally enjoyed this about the Playstation 2 version. I'm tired of all these easy ass games!

Christberg:
I wouldn't trust ningc.com at all. They're one of the main sites responsible for making "teh megaton" go for 6 months. If you're not peeved about that, then I don't know what else can convince you.

Wait till you see word about it on here or IGN or something.

Samwise, there certainly was a Contra game on the Genesis--it's one of the best, easily. Just behind Super C, if you ask me. I still play that game (Contra Hard Corps) every so often! In fact, if you ask me, Hard Corps (or as my old roommate thought it was pronounced: Hard Corpse...haha...that's just wrong) was the main inspiration behind Shattered Soldier--even some of the bosses are blatant nods to Hard Corps (see the train bosses in both). And the whole aesthetic of the game is right out of Hard "Corpse," what with the dark and dingy scorched future style.

And yes, Shattered Soldier is freaking hard, but it is in fact not substantially harder than some other Contras! Some friends and I played it for about 5 hours (co-op makes it MUCH easier) and we found that it's hard, but it's entirely do-able with lots of practice and pattern memorization. Better yet: the game is SO FUN you WANT to keep playing. Even more than that, it's old-school in the way that it really sparks your gaming pride--you find yourself saying, "You'll never take me alive, Contra!!!!!"

So, don't be a wussy; get this game. ;-)

(Likewise with Ikaruga. Anyone who says it's not good because it's "too hard" is a friggin' pansy. How's that for a ridiculous macho American statement? hahaha....)
