it isnt hard corps uprising bahamut is totally different in this game hes(col. bahamut) an alien wars veteran while HCU bahamut is an ex-commonwealth soldier
This, I believe is true. Now I don't know if it had anything to do with rights issues, but IMO, it could be that Arc Systemworks didn't know anything bout the franchise and only decided to take some creative liberties with it; Hence the "Contra-less name of Hard Corps Uprising. It's a loose connection to Contra Hard Corps and makes no sense serving as a prequel.
The game only carries the Hard Corps name to excite the fans. I like the game though.
Of course, but this is yet another one, so go out and rip him a new one just as you did the last opponent! Show no room, especially now you know what to do from your last battle!
I love how bizarre, edgy and hardcore most sega games looked by comparison to nintendo ones. It's a shame, in a sense, that sega lost the console wars
Yeah that game had the "OMFG THAT IS FU**ING SICK" effect and the new one does not even get close to these bosses in the whole game (except for the last 2 in stages 5 and 6 in uprising)
Issit me or the first form just so much like he is a saiyan from dragonball... him doing aerial ki blasts then charging a kamehameha and plus being a monkey that has an aura...
yup, had to do some puzzle solving just to beat her too. Check out Dante's Inferno when it comes out, one whole level will be dedicated to the sin of Lust, which should be interesting to see how far they'll take it before it gets to an Adult rating.

"no predator/alien based stuff in this one" - that is what I liked about Contra 3 especially. I just found Hardcorps to be rather bad and unappealing.
Agree, having A/P references in the games was cool since Predator on NES is horrible, Alien 3 slightly ok, and AVP on SNES was really difficult.
The worst one in my opinion is Contra Force which had nothing to do with aliens. This one has awesome graphics, sound, and story.
Funny how Col. Bahamut sort of goes through what Tetsuo does in the ending of AKIRA when they can't control their powers (blob-mass monsters). Of course Tetsuo did not look as phallic, he just looked disgusting.
Yeah, and of course, we all know how scary the ALien/Pred movies were back in the day, atmosphericly and musically, the SNES one really captured that fear factor. I am not surprised they went back to that sort of SNES forumula for the 4th DS game. Shame it was only on DS though.
I didn't care if they reused enemies, they actually looked good. And the game just had a more serious feel to it, this game became too cartoony and had outlandish music that didn't even seem suitable. Look at the end credits, wild crazy paced music, where as on Contra 3 you get a epic sounding bittersweet military style anthem.
This brings me back. I had a sega genesis and I remember playing this game and beating all four (5 if you count the shortcut) end sequences. :) very well done.
I remember this boss. I was so excited when I defeated his first form, then I was crushed when I found out he had a second form. I never did beat the game following this path :-(.
This boss's transformation into his 2nd form reminds me of the splicing episode from that kid show Batman Beyond where the bad guy gets pumped full of animal DNA after he'd transformed himself, and turns into a monstrosity of animal parts.
Thanks for posting these HC videos, man! It's been too long since I saw this game in action.
One thing I didn't appreciate at the time, is what a good art style HC has. I like Shattered Soldier's desolate look, but HC is just as gritty with an added layer of technological menace. Some of its stage & boss designs are downright intimidating, like the lab area and bosses that precede this fight.
y do cool villians always fuk themselves somehow, 4 example Bahamut, instead of having a cool fight man 2 man he fuks himself by letting the alien power control him and transform him in a freaking horrible beast! Great vid btw.
