Contra 4 (DS) City level

[xadrezistashow]

How did you get ninety nine lives ???

[ImTheDruggernaut]

@xadrezistashow There is a glitch you can perform in stage 1 where you die on your last life and gain an extra life at the same time.

[wassup986]

I know this game has a 2 player option, and some unlockables. 2 questions though:

A) Can you only play 2-player if both players have the game, or can you "DS Download Play?"

B) I hear the unlockables include the first 2 "Contra" games. Is this true, and is it hard to unlock them?

[denkaz8]

where I can take the DS emulator I want to paly contra 4 :(

[wootlanter]

You can download this "prototype version" for a flashcard. Though I wouldn't recommend it, it's glitchy as hell!

[nahor23]

which do you guys think is better? contra 4 or metal slug 7 for ds? i cant choose!

[SoApBoX]

@nahor23 go for Contra 4, big time. I own both of them and I can say that Metal Slug 7 is really pixelated and short. Contra 4 is very addictive in an arcade sort of way, and the graphics and length are a big contrast to MS7.

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

@nahor23 get contra 4 for DS and get Metal slug XX for psp - its the best version of metal slug 7

[themindsi]

is it like the nes one does 1 shot kill you ?

[frankochoa87]

yes...

[robinjonk]

omg this looks like a game i played when i was like 5 years old, but then it was black and white but it has the same gameplay!

[poopskinTheLiar]

@robinjonk There was a Contra game on the GB, could you be talking about that?

[robinjonk]

@poopskinTheLiar yes it could be i cant find in on the internet... well it was a long time ago i dont own that gameboy anymore...

[evanescence1984]

yes, very hard. i completed the normal mode about 2 weeks ago and now im stuck on hard mode on the Last Level ( its not the City-Level) ;)

keep on practicing and u'll beet the game, mate!

good luck

[Endsville06]

Such a fun game but so damn hard. I suck at this game. :P

[kayor21]

i remeber the on super nes

[danophile07]

its an awesom game with loads of unlockables, and 2 player mode but i think tehy probabaly coulda gave it soem awesom 3d elements

[markpacker]

They were probably just going for nostalga for us old school gamers. Frankly, I think they should have just rereleased all three of the old NES versions into one cartridge.

[guitarhero3o0o]

It's the prototype version. There is no music on the prototype version.

[learnorelse]

I would like for you to make a better one yourself, you arrogant son of a bitch named clutchchuck.

[pspbruch]

fico feliz ao ver que esse contra 4 ficou fiel ao 3

[elcocodrilo25]

great sound.

[fanoultimate]

ahhh es como ver contra 3 hahaha

[rojikaru22]

The fact that you can kill the screaming bitchs that run in your way really doesn't help at all.

[scuzzy61]

wow thats addicting

[spicanspan16]

Woah chyll where'd you get that??

[Gazza660]

hey guys can u think of a game that was for the Sega Mega Drive 2 and it was like contra fighting aliens side scrolling but u can choose between a Robot, Woman, and a guy with red tights on ?? anything any one ppl ?

[dillinger568]

I think you mean alien storm.

[Gazza660]

YES!!! thanks dude ur a legend i havn't playd that game for years!!!!

[GOD719]

how do you play the game with out music? it dosen't say i can turn it off in the options

[iniche]

The reason there's no music in this version is because this one's a prototype cart/ROM being shown.

[jonathanng1234]

Man i can't get pass the cities last boss, it's freaken immposible.(expesially since im a n00b)

[DiggeDog64]

Im a veteran since i was 4. Me and my cousin both beat CONTRA 3 in normal mode. I was still like 6 and he was 9.

[CCmachine]

contra 3 wasnt even a real contra game.

re-branded crappy game from japan :S

get Contra and Super C :D

[DiggeDog64]

I think your talking about Contra Force.

[cartoonmaker145]

Get your facts straight.

[zing1982]

Wrong game, dimwit..

[CCmachine]

ah yep, contra force. soz...

[igotyou62]

dude wheres the music this level has one of the koolest soundtracks

[iniche]

This is a proto version.

[HungryMungry]

On easy, this game pretty much gives you 50 lives (10 lives, 5 continues) when in reality, it should be 3 lives 0 continues...

[Steli111]

isn't there a hard mode?

[javaly78]

I swear Konami should release a Contra Collection. They could add original arcade versions and NES/SNES/GENESIS versions, and maybe even a suped up Operation C remix. Hell, I'd buy that.

[enur83]

Then we are two:-)

[k3evso]

unh unh, you mean three

[DiggeDog64]

Then we are four. :)

[zing1982]

Agreed. 100%.

[cheesewheel]

kick ass game

[supermariogalaxian]

Easiest Contra Ever?

[ybrik222]

Yes. Fifth, sixth and seventh levels were too easy.

[qaswedfr11]

On stage six where you beat the skeleton looking boss, after ive shot him and he comes through the door, how do you shoot him till he dies.. im on easy level stage 6 i think

[ybrik222]

What weapos do you have?

[qaswedfr11]

nevermind i finally got him i just had the standard.. i looked up cheats on this but still new... good game though..

[ybrik222]

I had the exact same em, and it works a lot better with spreadshot, couldn't use the regular.

[qaswedfr11]

i was in the city level and i ran out of lives.. i cant do the glitch to get multiple lives... what is the easiest way? because dying and getting a free live is too hard for me and im playing on easy mode lol

[ybrik222]

Yeah, before I beat easy I died on the city boss... It's much easier just to play through again.

[SurooshX]

Super C FTW!

[criddely]

ya but psp has better mods, you can have windows vista on psp easily. (not the real vista of course). You can listen to music on ur computer through wireless internet. you can do lots with PSP if you get into it.

[FusionArmorX]

Heh, this video looks to be from a development build of Contra 4. Doesn't look like much has changed outside of the obvious.

[DaronMalakianXVII]

For you people who don't respect Contra.

GTFO!

[Ix07I]

hell yeah contras a classic

[ot4kon]

This Game sucks, the only way it could be cool is if they release it for the PSP

[ybrik222]

It would work better for the DS control scheme, because it has a better control pad for this kind of game. Also... CONTRA FREAKIN' RULES!

But I'd would like to know why you think it'd be better on the PSP.

[ot4kon]

you wrong, psp slim control pad is much superior

[ybrik222]

Actually, I've never seen the slim pad, but I still love it on the DS.

[spicanspan16]

CONTRA WOULD BE GREAT ON ANY SYSTEM

[MysteriousBob]

Strange what they've done with the two screens. The PSP wide-screen would suit a game like Contra better.

[wl34]

nah not really. You character is small enough to have lead space on both sides. And besides a lot of enemies are coming from top of buildings and stuff like that. I think the DS's screens are perfect.

[Panpizza15]

What I love about this game is that they made the laser usefull. Its shoots rapidly and I dont have to wait for 4 shots to go off screen to unload another round.

[ybrik222]

Yeah... But it's supposed to be hard...

[XxXPokeMasterNP]

I beat the game,and holy shit it is so hard lol,but who cares,its CONTRA MOTHER FUCKER!

[Golbezdx]

lol!

[kartoonduck]

i love this game but i suck at it so far.

i can't get past the jungle boss!! please tell me how i really want to know!!

[cheesewheel]

I hope I get this for Christmas....Looks so awesome

[gtas123]

this game sucks hey need to get 3d retards realese on gba

[oldsilenthill1]

wtf game ,i going to play burnout on my psp

[yourtubeyourass21]

One thing they didnt screw up on this game is actually keeping the original 2d game play. Feels like back in the old school days. This was single most important element in the game, not to change the original game play. Contra rules, always have,always been. A+

[WCarnation]

Yeah, I too, love it when a game series makes no progression at all.

[iheartdoublebass]

where the hell is the music???

[BozsoGabor]

This game rocks?when will it come out in Europe do you know?

[mantax55]

yes like saveing man i hate this level

[gigafart3]

ive found a cheat that is pretty easy to do, first get a powerful weapon (machine gun or spread fire works best) find a safe spot and a way to hold down the fire button and just let the enemies run into the gunfire and die. The best spot ive found for this is in level 6 room 3. Just keep firing on the Blue Winged guys, and you'll end up with alot of lives in a short amount of time.

[Toneman]

When I saw the player sprite's running animation, the first game that came to mind was "Turrican".

[CrunkChipmunk]

Looks lame as hell compared to Contra III The Alien Wars. That game remains and will probably forever stay the pinnacle of the Contra franchise. Tis a shame but oh well.

[ybrik222]

Music?

[clownhorse]

I once heard from a Nintendo magazine that music is usually the last thing they add to a game before they release it. So this early in developement version doesn't have music yet.

[ybrik222]

oh, ok

[CSSOcelot]

Damn it if you dont like the game cuz you die in one hit then you just suck. Unless you werent around for the old Contra games dont bitch.

[spicanspan16]

iite i like contra an all but ds games are like forever 30 bucks even crappy ones like hannah fuckin montana,an idk if i wana pay like 35 for a game dats possible to beat in like 15 min..an at least have new weapons! a grappling hook? WOOOOOOOOW BIG DEAAAAAL lol styll ima probly end up gettin it lmao

[Panpizza15]

what the hell are you talking about?

[jeremycarrier]

Wow...English please? What I understand, you don't wont to play 30 dollars for a short game right? Well, Contra is not easy. You will NOT beat it in 15 mins. It will take you SEVERAL hours to beat it the first time. After that, you have 40 different Challenges, unlockable characters, art gallerys, sound tests, and even the NES versions of Contra/Super C. You get a whole lot of content for 30 bucks.

[spicanspan16]

i kno isnt easy but it styll is short but hey i didnt kno it had all those extras so yea ur right thnx..my only complain is the MAIN game,contra for DS, needs new things than just a stupid grapple hook,am i right about that or no?

[ArmandoXIII]

no you arent

[Stimpy44]

Need music!!!

[ssfsx17]

Awesome, the man-faced dogs are back!

[Time4Fun2]

Gunstar is a great game. So is contra i mean seriously.

[stringanime]

Agreed but in this day and age of Contra shouldn't we be seeing some sort of attack animation by the enemy when we Jump on it's head which = Death? If we don't say something, it may never happen which may not be bad, but which is cooler? Animated attack when we touch a regular guy or nothing? At least give them Suicide Explosive armor Konami.

[bjmensz]

Contra needs realism about as much as Gradius needs newtonian physics or Bomberman needs a plot.

It's a Contra game, get a grip.

[iseeanything]

i like contra 3 for snes better. just my opinion. This looks cheap to me

[gonepishing]

cheap as in hard? I own this game (got the leaked ROM) and is is extremley hard.

[HellsDrunkard]

The appeal is that you have to earn beating the game. Lifebars and savepoints aren't there to hold your hand.

I hope they have alot added on in Hard Mode. Contra III only had 1 extra form of the brain, and it was too easy (Crush Missiles killed it very quickly)

[gonepishing]

oh cme on. I cant even get past level 2 of this game (contra 4). it is REALLY HARD. normal is more like badass, and hard is more like "holy shit! your gonna die!" mode. the only mode I can semi-play the game on is easy. and it's really hard.

[Cheese71]

up,up,down,down,left,right,lef­t,right,b,a,start (or select,start for 2 players... god I'm nerdy)...

[stringanime]

alright, I know it is contra and all, but all I wanna know is.......CAN YOU TOUCH THE BAD GUYS WITHOUT KEALING OVER AND DIEING!?!!? For crying out loud! Konami swallow your pride and take a little from GUNSTAR HEROES!

[Tanikaze2]

Fuck that, gunstar sucked.

[stringanime]

Wow! you are definately out numbered with your opinion. But that's Cool, I hope this Contra doesn't suck. Did you like Contra 3(The Best Contra in my opinion)? The Guys who made Gunstar made Contra 3 and fled Konami to form Treasure.

[MustBe18YearsOrOlder]

gunstar is awesome k ty

[Tanikaze2]

No, fuck that Gunstar shit. the main appeal of Contra is it's difficulty, which Gunstar didn't have.

[NVKhorror]

The appeal is that it's no fun?

[retread01]

It is fun when you get good at it. The better you get the harder you wished they'd made it. Contra might be enjoyable for a child when they die repeatedly with 30 lives, but the real fun comes from doing everything without getting hit, the excitement rachets up coninuously.

[Panpizza15]

The fact that you die in 1 hit just gives you a challenge. If you dont like dying in one hit than I guess that makes you a pussy (sorry dont mean to insult you)

[stringanime]

When we played Contra 3, there was a Balance of Difficult Justified by Cool Concepts. Meaning= Level 3, we climb up a wall and are pursude by that spikey machine as it launches missiles and then pulls the walls out with spikes above and below as the thing tries to smash us with it's drill teeth only openning it's eyeball periodically to pin point our local. That is what makes Contra cool, Difficult that is only Justified by how Cool the Concept was.

[stringanime]

Who are you talking to. I never said I didn't like one hit death. Don't be so blinded by fandom that you defend what isn't under attack. By beef is moreso on "Defined Hit areas" IE. A lying down enemies' boots shouldn't be leathal. If you get that close or just pass them up, shouldn't he turn around at the waist and shoot while I am behind or standing between his boots? Not as hard close up, but it cooler and harder at a far range. I hate some gaming Traditions.

[cbrnate]

i think that might have been done on purpose so if you beat the game, it feels like a real accomplishment. and dont hate on fans, im a fan but im not going to cry about it if someone give constructive critisism. actaully i agree that its a little too easy to die from touching an enemies boot. i still love the game though

[stringanime]

I respect your heart for a good challenge. I geuss I felt like seeing Contra 3 with all new Enemies and suprises, but what I got felt more like Contra 1 with Mostly new enemies.

[stringanime]

Just a Follow up...Well, I bought it, and I returned it the next day. I am not going to bash it for the sake of all those, "Contra-Can-Do-No-Wrong-Fanboy­s." Contra 4 was designed with VERY little understanding of where the series was Going. It is as if Contra 3 was ignored, except for 1=having 2 weapons 2=climbing. If you buy, be prepared to die by touching boots of lying down enemies and the last frame of animation in an explosion.

[cbrnate]

hey a quick question though. where did you buy it that you were able to return it. most store won't let you return a game or movie if its opened. i bet the customer service there is superb

[stringanime]

GameStop in Schaumburg IL. And yeah it is great service. Cash back and all. However, I got the last copy and it was already out of the wrapping, I think most games have at least a sticker on the box or something. They may have given me a break because of that fact.

[theraptorus]

I've got to get a DS now!

[javiman]

omg! it looks so awesome!

[richtea87]

cant wait to play this!

[titortizjr]

Sweet.
