Contra NES (Japanese to English ROM hack) Pt. 1 of 3

This is part one of a three-part playthrough of Contra. This is a recently made text translation of the Japanese version of the game, which featured cutscenes and environment effects that were taken out of the U.S. and European versions. The translation's home page is here: http://yojimbo.eludevisibility.org/Contra/Contra.html

@wingnut4427 Because Nintendo of America thought that using the Konami VRC4 memory mapper chip (used in the JP version of Contra) would be too expensive in the US, so they had to use the less capable (but cheaper!) Nintendo MMC3 mapper chip for the US/Euro versions.

omg how did the nes handle the last stage scenery animation?

[ganirintiniano]

ostias que buena esta version!

[gblock4ever]

It so blows away the US version, these cutscenes, the animation in the stages. I don't know if I'll ever go back to playing the US version ever again...

If you want it, PM me your email and I'll send to the ROM (patched and all)

This makes the game ten times better. And it was already bad ass! Great video.

@OldSkoolgamerz that's true....to me it's amazing that this guy to your right looks more like stallone than the character, Rambo in the self-titled video game made by acclaim for the NES. don't you think so?

[OldSkoolgamerz]

@80s90sRealBasketball The boxart is an obvious reference to Arnie, Stallone, and Aliens without a doubt.

[80s90sRealBasketball]

at 1:00-1:18...the guy to your right looks just like stallone from rambo..but of course the two characters in this game is based upon arnold and stallone....
