Contra Alien Wars did two weapons system with a quick switch button first.

"But Hard Corps is so much better," lied everyone.

Contra 3

As spectacular as Hard Corps is in presentation, I've always found Contra 3 to be much more replayable and better paced. It also works far better as a two player game, and feels much more "Contra" in spirit than Hard Corps.

Contra 3 is a better game than Contra Hard Corps.

Hard Corps:
+Most explosions per second
+Nonstop intensity
+Amazing constant boss fights
+Branching paths
-Doesn't really feel "contra"
-Pointless story sections
-2p mode doesn't feel as fun as it should be

Contra 3:
+Best OST of the series
+Great variety
+Mode 7 everywhere
+Fantastic 2p play
+Beautiful spritework
-Top down levels are lame
-Slower gameplay and not as intense
-Slowdown

How difficult would it be to splice together a skin for Doomtra that replaces Doomguy with Bill from Contra 3?

Pictured pose should be his idle sprite.
