RE: Contra: Video Game Review - The Irate Gamer Show

[Animellarx53]

what was the console's name??? We called it "tv game". Now i wane get an emu for this console but i duno what its really called..

[Maverickslayer744]

@Animellarx53

The console the original Contra was on is the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES for short.

[Jono1874]

screw the irate gamer.

[doomshooter154]

Irategame said at this game sucks?? becuase he died, he is like one of who kids that doesnt like games becuase they die

[0428733]

@doomshooter154 he's like my sister for that matter

[Maverickslayer744]

@doomshooter154

Really dude, are you surprised? He does this with the majority of his reviews. He can't beat it, he gives it a negative review. He doesn't come up with good reasons to hate a game. Hell, he gave Zombies Ate My Neighbors a bad review just because it had more than zombies. -_-;

[ChaosLord56]

Japan version have back story and this one is just translated to english

[superministry]

how to play on pc. and where to download???

[Maverickslayer744]

@superministry

I don't know exactly how to do it, but I do know that you need to download an emulator, a sort of console program to play old console games on the computer. What I suggest is that you go to google and type in 'emulator (console name)', and find the best result. Hope that helps.

[uknownada]

I never even knew this game had a back-story! I just played it and had fun!

[3oxidide]

Owned

Irate is a fucking dumbass

Contra is one of the best NES games I've ever played and I managed to play the whole game without dying a few times.

Irate is just a AVGN rip-off.

Fucking dumbass

[Jetblast01]

Hope Irate sees this. XD

[MatthewH39]

Who gives a shit about all that stuff. The game was fucking cool. I LOVED IT

[Soaronex]

I play this game hundreds and hundreds of times.... good old times

[noqa]

A shame this intro sequence never became available in any US ports.

[Soaronex]

i never new it has a intro sequence!

[Jacob041593]

Hey, where did you get the translated version of the Japanese rom? The only one I can find is the one that's fully Japanese.

[bloodriotiori]

:O woah i wish i would have known about this, that intro was actually pretty cool for an NES game :) and the game itself makes ALOT more sense now :)

[Soaronex]

lol agree!!

[footup7342]

You really showed him. I checked that the NES version intro was removed in the US release.

One thing that backstories in Konami games are often false. Konami of America just made up their stories, different from Japanese.

[BasicNewb]

aaaaah... I used to love this game, always played it together with my friend! :D we finished it together, so cool gameplay! 2 player!! :)

[slashmaster28]

I love this. This proves two things. 1) Contra did have a backstory, which IRATE never mentioned.

2) The difficulty is not nearly as unfair as he makes it seem as long as you have patience. All IRATE did was jump around. He figured that since the game was fast-paced, he have to rush through every level.

[born2game642]

Was this made for the Game Boy Color?

[born2game642]

cuz it looks like they did a remake of the NES version

[Samail666]

This is the Japanese version of Contra.

We missed out on a lot of cool stuff. Bit of a long story...

[JoeyDrunko]

This version looks a lot cooler. Also, the moving trees is a nice effect.

[Samail666]

The floor also moves in level 6.

[Samail666]

Among many many other visual things. There's also a secret if you hold select during the credits.

[NintendoCPU]

I woder why japan gets better versions of games.I mean they get the good games.like fflll nes :.'[

[Nicpezer]

Hey where can I find a translation patch for this rom?

[zourkas06]

y do u have ur honours up?, its like tellin someone how big ur dick is..we dont need to know.

[slashmaster28]

Zourk... you do realize the site makes the honors stay on the screen until they've expired, right?

[slashmaster28]

Look at that start! Irate claimed that there was no story behind it.  Wow. But seriously, by the time that review had ended, I had no idea whether he liked the game or not.

[brothadave]

love how you splice arcade contra with nintendo!

[Archedgar]

I am a fan of both the irate gamer and the angry video game nerd, they have very different styles and I am amused at how people say the irate gamer is a rip off.

They are nothing alike, neither verbally or visually.

[mario199923]

RIGHT ON BROTHER!

[MilkyIsSupersonic]

very much alike, however. there was a video comparing them two in their reviews and how irate gamer sounds like avgn. the vid was like 16 minutes long, but irate gamer flagged it for copyright infringement and it got deleted.

[Samail666]

Very clever how all those comments are rated negatively and marked as spam. Good stuff...

Personally, I prefer the AVGN, but the Irate Gamer is alright as well. He DOES copy a few things, but overall it's still a good series.

People need to stop freaking out. Especially those who can somehow find the time to make LONG VIDEOS for the soul purpose of shitting on people's videos. Grow up.

Those who have the patience to hear what the Nerd himself has to say, check the first video in my favorites.

[Samail666]

...And that was a response to a comment on the previous page. Why it's at the top I don't know...

[AzureDarkGod]

Finally, someone who makes sence!!!

[LufiaSelan]

I like this, I wish they'd kept that in the other releases!

[patrykmichon]

at 2:01 the thing shooting at you looks like

a midle finger. lol Its like

Fuck off marines

[earmuffs8]

wtf???

[slashmaster28]

Earmuffs, it sucks I'm replying to a 4-month old comment, but anyway, this video was meant to prove that there was a story in Contra, which Irate said it didn't have, and that the difficulty isn't nearly as unfair as he said it was just as long as you strategize and don't try to rush through the whole game.

[MaicoMoon]

Woot, go Marines!

[MaicoMoon]

And what version of the game is this? I don't remember those intro scenes or the level debriefing screens in the cartridge I played as a kid.

[devilboy666x]

this is a translated japanse version.

[IGSRJ]

Irate sux

[BigK0003]

hey luiz y dont you make a vid better than Irate and then bitch, you whiny little punk

[RyanH007]

irate sucks you loser, he just rips off avgn

[ramones27x]

he's an emulation of the AVGN theres a diffence...

[JesusFuckingChrist84]

It is for comedic purposes, why else?

[Futuramaooy]

Forget it Devilboy, if the American version of Contra had this, Chris Bores would just complain that he has to sit throught it like a bitch.

"Fuck the storyline, I wanna shoot some shit!"

[Futuramaooy]

lol * Through

[stafax]

so true, he tries to complain about anything. if something exists in a game, good or bad, he'll complain about it. If he can't find anything else in the game to complain about, he'll just bitch about what doesn't exist in the game.

[zourkas06]

so does everyone that does angry reviews, including the avgn, in a vid he critisises the ending screen, and complains that the explination points arent consistant, its what they have to do, u wood do the same.

[stafax]

have to do? who said they have to do anything?

not all game reviewers are funny, a lot of them are very cliche and boring. there are only a few that keep it entertaining, but even those few are getting stale as well.

[zourkas06]

they have to do so if they wanna stay angry, or irate, ur not gunna call him the christian game nerd, or the friendly gamer.

[stafax]

you still have yet to explain why the HAVE to do anything.

First off, no one HAS to do any video review at all, they chose to.

Also, even if they do choose to be some angry person doing a review, what's the point of being angry over something irrelevant or even twisting a fact around? That's not angry, that's stupid.

[zourkas06]

oh god not u again... hahahaha, even if he is monotoned, he still is fun to watch.

[LuizPrower]

nothing fun about someone acting like a 4 year old and having obvious jokes

[retromandan]

i totally agree.

if you look at his reviews. its either

A. A rip off of another reviewer.

B. A game he can't complete (contra, ghosts) and goblins, SMB2...which are FANTASTIC GAMES)

C.A pile of shit in general (tetris)

[JesusFuckingChrist84]

That is what a good game boils down to, gameplay(which should be a game reviewers #1 priority[Duh]) and story. Who cares? Let them be.

[vseddword]

I 100% agree

[JesusFuckingChrist84]

Thanks, I hve always thought of myself as a mediator, :D.

[PlayTheNESdotCOM]

Yay for the storyline :)
