I loved the video and agree with your opinions 100% . Thank you for taking the time to make this . I DO hope for a really good Contra game in the future , but I am not holding my breath . The most fun I had with the seri6is with the original entry with my older brother on my NES back in the 80's when we played for hours , took an hour or so break , and booted it up again .

Its cool that you covered everything on the franchise, though you definitely missed the fact that both Contra and Super Contra on the Arcades had a *Continue limit* (Even if you did put many credits, both games will not let you continue further than 5 times)...so yeah, its actually tougher than you'd think, even though they are shorter than the NES ports.
