This new Contra game combines elements from Contra 1, Contra 2 (Super C), and Contra 3 (Alien Wars), and I absolutely adore it. In the past, I found the Stage 1 Boss in Contra 1 to be too simple, but now they've crafted a fusion of the two mini-fortresses from Contra 1 and the third boss's mini-fortress from Contra 2. Now it looks more like a boss.

Hello game designers for Contra Operation Galuga, I think you did a great job at recreating the essence of the original game, which is something that is not easy to do with most remakes, because a lot of the times, developers make too many changes that make the game feel different. Then, there are times when developers need to add new ideas, but the ideas need to look and sound as if they are extensions of the originals. This isn't an easy task, but I think you did well here. One thing I noticed at around 9:09 of this video clip, the cave level - the tunnel looks like it could be further developed to be a part of an entire level and still look and feel as part of the original.

The soundtrack of the bosses against 3 are very good, they give you adrenaline and that suspense as if something bad is coming.

The first boss in Operation Galuga is a fusion of the original Contra mini-fortress and the third boss mini-fortress from Super C. Overall, Operation Galuga takes elements from Contra, Super C, The Alien Wars, and Contra Rebirth.

Love how they leaned into the Aliens references in Contra. Character names Lance Bean (Lance Henriksen x Michael Biehn) and Bill Rizer (Bill Paxton x Paul Reiser)

As much as I like Contra 1, Super C, Contra 3, 4, Rebirth and Operation Galuga as much I don't like Contra: Hard Corps. It's too fast, too chaotic and it's soundtrack is some kind of "cat's music" based on "meow meow" sounds :D (melodies are fine, but sounds aren't...). But true, Operation Galuga has some references to Contra: Hard Corps, for example Fang is in the game.

Thank you for posting

I personally enjoyed those surely unlicensed references to Aliens and The Terminator in the original game. The new game also feels decent, but it's a different game now.

Great video! the creators of the new contra did a great job for those that appreciate the originals!! Thank you for this game!

The last boss is actually inaccurate. Contra Galugas last boss, when its attacking the ship you see it from its profile. He looks exactly like “ Java “ from the first NES game. This is Red Falcon. The “ mother alien “ as you know is called “ Gava “. She didnt appear untill the second coming. Super C. Her lineage is Black Viper. Contra Wars was both lineages attacking Earth in a united front. Both Gava & Java are equals to their own Kindred. They are two entirely different beings / DNA strands, but of the same world and cause. It is implied Both Red Falcon & Black Viper are bio weapons of the actual aliens attacking us as reviled in shattered soldier. I understand that this is a reboot, but it does take reference directly from the old games. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see the actual mother alien Gava in the next game.

Can we get a LifeForce or Zombies Ate My Neighbors remake next?

HONESTLY THE OLD VIBES OF CONTRA CANT BE MATCH , ITS AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION!

Wasn't the Gordea fight inspired by the sniper chase from Contra Hard Corps?

The "gargoyle" was a very unique boss from Contra 3 with the wall climbing and the teleportation, in the remake it's "generic flying boss".

Old is gold childhood.😢😢 memories new one looks simply third class nice.👍 channel simply the best.👍

You did a good job with these edits, how long did it take you ?

Wait a minute, which system is the original Contra from? Because that spinning shooter was not after the defense wall on stage 1 on the NES. You killed the guy at the top, broke the two cannons, then broke the generator at the bottom, and that was it, on to stage 2.

It’s been almost 40 years since Contra was released. I do not think this version represents 40 years of progress.

Emperor Demon Gava here feels more like Black Viper, like going through his body to get to the head/brain. The spiked car boss in stage 2 is probably based on the similar-looking enemy/mid-boss from Contra 1's snow field stage. Crustacean Crawler coming out of the train reminds me of the train boss from Rogue Corp.

Masterpiece ever. Great

Oddly enough the vicious slave hawk was in super contra... arcade version lvl 4....had the long tongue, swoop attack....but I think alien wars wanted to use this guy...with additional teleportation

About this remake, THAT'S video game, let's never forget that.

5:10 Boss in Operation Galuga has named as Devil Worm. But yes, this is similarly to Crustacean Cruiser. 8:17 This boss is called as Metal Alien. 10:23 Final boss in Operation Galuga is not Emperor Demon Gava - it's Dragon God Java, but it gets similar abilities and Searle-themed brain. P.S.: And yeah, you skip miniboss from Operation Galuga Level 2 - Armored Truck aka Dogra. Dogra is miniboss in Level 5 from original Contra.

Nice video. I really appreciate it.

Actually, the running sequence @ 5:00 is a remake of an identical boss fight in Contra Hard Corps on the Sega Genesis.

In the New/Remake one they turn Gava into Malebolgia 👍👍👍 Great comparison ❤❤❤

Hay jefes que no salían en el #Contra de NES que yo jugué. Mas el juego sí lo terminé. ¿Es de alguna otra versión nes?

This is what we want and actual contra not 3rd person not from above camera the actual 2d run and hope they more of like this awsome

Love this.

I think the title should be "All Bosses Comparison - Contra Remake vs NES version"; because the original was made for arcades.

In the remake they made some of the boss fights shorter than the original but both of them are perfect

Crustacean Cruiser: When the original looks better than the remake.

wow! a pretty decent remake. I have played all the original Contra games as they came out. nothing and nothing is better than the original. sadly this is just a remake, Graphically niceer but not really better. Too much explosion, smoke and fx, the player dont stand out and gets lost in the background. even the boss sometimes gets lost in the background and sometimes I dont understand what im looking at. The 8bit and 16 bit system had lots of impossible limitations and still acomplished lightning in a bottle. modern game design is arguably more simple with game engines, this remake is riding on the shoulder of giants as most game and movie remakes are. But i still enjoyed watching the video and thanks for sharing and uploading. 😅

the classic designs still look better, even in 8 bit

Good remake for what it’s worth but some things can never be replaced. Original all the way.

New one is a great addition to contra series

When I first saw this game, I wasn't sold on the presentation. Hell, I'm still not. However, it's very clear that the devs care deeply about the franchise and want to do it justice, which I can wholly appreciate. I'm going to wait for a sale then get involved. It's a similar situation to Metroid - we don't _need_ series definiting masterpieces for either franchise (though that would obviously be amazing), just modern titles that are damn _good enough_ and don't stray so far from their roots. At least that's how I see it in these two cases.

the running boss is from Contra Hard Corps

So it is an actual remake?
