Why doesn't this get talked about as much as the original? Too hard for the masses?

>> No.4667419

It's my favorite but it's not a hard game at all

I agree, but it's got far more challenge than the first one, which often gets called one of the hardest games on the NES.

Honestly I think it's easier than the first One...

It's not really more of an improvement to be honest.

That means its still great but I honestly find these games largely interchangable. Sometimes I want contra, sometimes I want super contra.

This is one of the easiest Contras. The real question is why aren't you playing Hard Corps? Too hard for ya, OP?

People don't seem to talk about Hard Corps here. Maybe they would if it was on a Nintendo system.

It's generally only the easiest games that get talked about. Same reason that Mega Man 2 gets so much attention while Rockman and Forte, being the hardest, is practically forgotten.

Contra 1 is talked about more because it's easier than Super C. If you play with cheats it's even more so. 30 lives instead of 10. I'm thinking most people played with cheats, we have the fucking cheat code stickied to the front of the page.

Shattered Soldier and Uprising get even less discussion (speaking outside of /vr/) and those games are even harder than Hard corps.

>victim complex
Hard Corps is one of the most mentioned games, especially by hardcore Segafans. It's also one of the most expensive US games.
AND, it's also one of the easier Contra games, and has very short levels. Contra III is where it's at if you want a hard Contra.

No victim complex, just pointing out the folks most likely to meme a game.

Anyway, Super C is on a Nintendo system, and this thread is about it not being as popular as Contra 1.
I just think the reason is that Contra 1 is just the game most people know. It was the game that was in every multicart on famiclones, and Contra 1 was just a phenomenon, I bet there's more Contra 1 carts around than Super C.
Every time someone tries to use the "if it was on a Nintendo system" argument, it's easily arguable. And comes off as console war faggotry in the end.

Contra games suck. Castlevania has better platformingfeel while Gradius has better shootingfeel. Contra fails to deliver on both, and has lame gimmick stages like the pseudo-3D from 1 and 3 too.

Contra has good contrafeel
And if you think that’s a lame thing to say, you should re-read your own post

Did I pain your butt so much that you can't take a jokingly made wordplay?

At any rate, Contra still sucks, get over it and get good taste.

I always found this one to be easier than the first. Which is a trend they continued with the easiest, 3.
Fun game though. Voices in my head want to say there was slightly less sprite flicker in this one.
Also, my Super C cart was easier to seat and load. Less wiggling required.

I honestly thought Super C was much easier than the original Contra. Perhaps because I actually owned Super C and had a ton more practice on it than on Contra. Still to this day I can usually beat Super C with a single life whereas I couldn't possibly do such a feat on Contra.
