Agreed.

Perfect location for an action pose.

>>409803
Sheena, how could you?

An interesting fact; Contra was released in Europe under the title 'Probotector', and featured robot characters instead of people.

Saw that screenshot and I was scrolling down to reply and saw that you said exactly what I was going to post.

Normally the prospect of robots kicks ass. But I think this is the one case that I cannot approve.

Because it's such blatant and heavy-handed censorship.

>>410450
Only during the 8 and 16 bit eras and on Nintendo and Sega systems.
Fucking Germany, ruining everything for the rest of us. Never understood why this and only this particular game series had to suffer such censure back then. But then again I had easy access to the US and Japanese Contra experience trough Famiclones (which were more common than actual NESs where I live) and imports (knew a friend who was friend with this kid that regularly went to America and bought stuff back we played and borrowed).

Actually, on an ALMOST Contra related note, I can think of another instance where something is superior to robots. And it has nothing to do with censorship.

Solbrain featured a robot protagonist. But Shatterhand is such a badass it nullifies my desire to play as a robot.

Copypaste, you have failed me.

>>410450
Ironically, Probotector is the best character in Contra 4.

TO PROBOTECT AND SERVE.

>Solbrain featured a robot protagonist.
It's a man in a suite kind of deal actually, and based on a tokusatsu tv series.

*Suit

I prefer the robots

>implying Shatterhand isn't a robot and that you can't see his metal knuckles on the cover

>>410860

He's a cyborg, if that.

>Steve Hermann, otherwise known as Shatterhand. A police officer who, after being maimed and having his hands crushed by a couple of Metal Command's cyborgs, undergoes a procedure where his lost limbs are rebuilt using cybernetics. Now armed with the most powerful pair of fists in the world, he embarks on a one-man mission to take on Metal Command and smash all of their freakin' robotic skulls in with his bare hands.

I won't lie. They do look slick as hell. And my favorite character wound up being a robot anyways.

THEY'RE ANTENNAE MOTHERFUCKER.

How absurd.

And what cute widdle antennae then are, yes they are!

Germanfag here, I want you to know that I'm sorry, on behalf of my country.

Trust me, no video-game enthusiast in germany approves of censorship in any way. Almost everyone I know either pirates his stuff if it's cut, or just imports it from bongland like I do.

Though as a kid I had no problem with the robots because I didn't know better, like they say, ignorance is bliss

>>411014
Quatsch du mal nicht für andere mit, ich find die Roboter viel cooler als diesen Soldaten-Dreck.

>>411027
Who you callin dreck?

>>411027

Ey digger, laber nich von der Seite ey.

Seriously though, robots or not robots aside, most censorship in vidya is pretty stupid - you have to admit that.

>>410937
You got some kind problem?

Yeah easter was last week so scram, we got a war to fight here

>>411065
>Implying Briareos doesn't have one to fight

So do you put down Deadeye Joe? Or do you prefer to rush off for them puny scientists?
