Die besten Contra-Spiele auf Nintendo-Systemen
Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen is one of a handful of franchises that have become completely synonymous with gaming; Tat, chances are if you haven’t gespielt any Contra games, then you’ll have at least gehört of them. Konami’s shoot-em-up behemoth may have lost a lot of its lustre in recent years (pretty much par for the course with Konami these days, es scheint, save for some excellent retro collections), but its earlier iterations have become iconic in their own right.
From the original Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen in 1988 all the way up to Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen: Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen in 2019, the series has rarely strayed from its relatively simple formula — run through a bunch of linear levels and shoot up a bunch of bad guys — but this is arguably its biggest draw. In an age where gaming is more complex than ever, Contra is a fantastic reminder that you don’t need a boatload of features to make a cracking game.

Contra’s high-profile return to modern platforms landed with more of a whimper than a bang. Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen: Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen swaps out the side-scrolling shoot-em-up action for top-down twinstick gameplay; the problem is it’s just not very fun to play. The shooting mechanics are far too inaccurate and the muddy textures and low resolution make for an ugly experience on the Switch. There are some good ideas here, but Rogue Corps is far from the Contra rebirth we were hoping for.

Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX certainly seems like a neat idea in theory; one of the greatest shoot-em-ups of all time on a portable device? Sauber! In der Praxis, jedoch, Contra Advance introduces a number of compromises to the experience that makes it less-than-ideal: blockier sprites; washed out visuals; downgraded audio quality. It all adds up, making this one a tough recommendation when the SNES version of Alien Wars is so readily available.

Part of the ‘Arcade Archives’ line-up on Switch, Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen is the arcade title original through and through, warts ‘n’ alle. Its purity and simplicity are perhaps its greatest features in this day and age, but subsequent Contra titles have arguably trumped it in terms of quality and replayability. Noch, it’s worth checking out on Switch, though we’d probably recommend the more rounded offering available in the verliert durch schiere Vertrautheit etwas an Wirkung.

A Game Boy version of the SNES original, this was developed by Factor 5, Das Studio dahinter Super Turrican games on the Super Nintendo and the Star Wars: Schurkenstaffel Serie. The levels and overall structure were altered and a password system was added but it still manages to deliver a serviceable game of Contra on a system with the processing power of a modern day toaster.

This is without a doubt a Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen Spiel (oder Probotektor if you’re a robot-loving European) more worthy of its title than, sagen, certain PlayStation entries. It hits on most of the aspects that make a good entry: challenging gameplay, strenge Kontrollen, varied enemies, killer arsenal, macho tunes, big bosses. For a title two years into the mighty portable’s lifespan, it accomplishes an impressive amount in shrinking the essentials of the beloved console/arcade series. Leider, players are forced to go gung-ho solo, which is disheartening for multiplayer fans and kills some of its longevity, but it’s remarkable just how well the game holds up on the humble Game Boy and fans of the NES games would foolish to pass this up.

Available as part of the NSO Expansion Pack — and thus Ein weiteres Spiel, in dem Sie available to play on a Nintendo console outside of the verliert durch schiere Vertrautheit etwas an Wirkung — Das sind Spiele, die dir eine Projektilwaffe in die Hand geben und dich in einem Top-Down- oder Side-Scrolling-Level herumrennen lassen und sieben Glocken aus Aliens sprengen: Hartes Korps represented the SEGA console debut of the series and represented a bit of a spin-off vibe in terms of setting and characters. Though perhaps not easy to appreciate for those that have encountered this solely in the Contra Anniversary Collection, it made some notable changes in control scheme and gameplay mechanics from its predecessors.
An excellent entry, it certainly stands out as an inspiration for some modern-day ‘neo-retro’ run and gun games, zu.
