Kid Thunder VG Reviews - Contra: The Alien Wars (Game Boy)

[123doomdoom]

I believe factor 5 also did Turrican games

[kibjohn]

@123doomdoom Yes they did. And I would like to thank you for subcribing as I have seen your comment on my Wings of Wor video.  I appreciate it.

so is there another port specifically for the GBA?

[kibjohn]

@paulspydar The GBA version is actually known as "Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX". It was actually a butchered port of the SNES version. It swapped out the overhead levels and replaced them with 2 levels from Contra Hard Corps on the Genesis.

nice review man,looks just as fun as the snes game

[pdnn101]

factor-5 made some decent games. such a shame they shut down

[austinmackert]

When did Factor 5 go defunct? I thought they were still around, they just hadn't done anything in a while (the last they did being Game Cube games for Nintendo).

[kibjohn]

They're not actually defunct. As far as what I know, according to Wikipedia, they actually caused closure in May of 2009. However, they are somewhat around, but they are only a privately-held company.

I've not played this one before. I've forgotten just how advanced the original Game Boy was for it's time, sure the Atari Lynx was technically better, but the Game Boy had some great games on it.

They took out the bike riding stage! NOOOOOOOO! lol

Good review!

It looks good for a GB port. I'll be keeping my eyes open for it on eBay:-)
