Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Editing and voice-over were made by me.

stop it, contra had one good game and it was the first one lmao

[@4kumaJ1N]

damn contra was one of my favourite game

[@warehousedave7937]

Neo Contra is only on PS2 and it is very hard to find in North America. Great 2 player game! It's become expensive but still worth the price.

[@PrincipeCiego]

My favorite is Contra 3: The alien wars!

[@Boss-X]

You know contra 2028 was a very good idea to be behind the fighter shoulder specially the jumping and sliding with a jet boosting gear and you can do maneuvering dash with it..!!!!
Oh you have no idea how many ideas that I have for this version of over the shoulder cams contra
All I need is the working hand and the eyes that can see and the ears that can listen and the heart that can love

[@josephwj7199]

Why don't you add some credit in your description to the Contra Encyclopedia, where you lifted several facts near-verbatim?

[@o.ramirez1534]

Because it’s his video. You could not watch. Get out of here Karen

@josephwj7199 it was that bad, eh? Ha Some guy trolling a Contra video...The world today I tell ya

[@G4System]

I haven't finished just this
Legacy Of War, Shattered Soldier, Neo Contra, Contra 4, Contra Rebirth, Hard Corp Uprising, and Rogue Corp

[@warehousedave7937]

Neo Contra is the best!

[@G4System]

@@warehousedave7937 It also has great soundtrack

[@ianswift3521]

shattered soldier is one of the hardest games I've ever played and my favorite type of video game are scrolling shmups from japan.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I haven't played Contra since Shattered Soldier.
But now I can see a reason to do so.

[@NickDrinksWater]

i forgot about this game for such a long time and couldnt remember what it was called or what platform it was on. the original on the nes was the one i liked the most overall

[@ajithpr4909]

This is how I used the Contra mutual fund. Didn't know what it was. Just that Contra was a game and it sounded cool so the fund must be cool too.

[@josephwj7199]

And still haven't updated this video or the description in any way to credit the Contra Encyclopedia, which you lifted several facts verbatim from.

[@cegaming482]

I love this

[@ugurarslan255]

[@josephwj7199]

Still wondering if you'll update the description or something with due credit to my site for taking information from there, often verbatim.

[@itsyaboigabe_4970]

I have a super nintendo so i love contra

[@FSBSev]

"Tomb Raider " please)

[@GenerationIsCooked]

Contra 4 was the first i played

[@S.Shoshkov]

Wow

[@Papan01]

Try Vanquish. It's gotta be the best modern Contra

[@perssyus3673]

I'd take a remake of the classics kind of like streets of rage 4

[@ianswift3521]

did you ever try Contra Rebirth or the Hard Corps Uprising?

[@m3lvn415]

Contra adventure? That's like watching a Jaws movie where the focus is the romance between sharks.

[@jaykishanverma737]

[@BALANCED_DITROIT]

I have Contra and super contra

[@sametkucuk7305]

in contra force you dont play bill rizer its just name is "contra" otherwise that game totally different in scenario and characters

[@User556q]

Hello. I'm looking for an action game similar with Contra, I was plaing as a kid. But i dont remember the name. All i remember that the first level was in a jungle, play style similar with contra, but at the end of the level there was a puzzle picture I had to solve! Does anyone have an idea what game it was?

[@UnLocoMas2]

I beat the first version of this game with my father with an family

[@BALANCED_DITROIT]

C the Contra adventure means Contra the Contra adventure

[@HyperKaito]

lol

[@BALANCED_DITROIT]

Operation C means Operation Contra

[@The_inverted_C]

Stage 6 is imposible for me

[@schw0373]

Why didn't you show the 2 original arcade games?

[@xiyanqu3801]

There is actually a hack in this game and from my observation you could use the konami code in this game

[@OuroborosChoked]

Hilarious that the only "facts" about Rogue Corps that they could think of were that it's the newest new game in the series. It's definitely the latest game for modern systems.

[@kidalid5536]

Contra is Arnold Schwarzenegger and Silvestre Stallone

[@ivoreategui781]

What about of Contra Returns????

[@tempatnyareview793]

Contra force terbaik

[@user-il8re9yf4n]

You forgot Contra Returns for Android

Metal Slug code J coming soon on Android

[@mnretrogamer7189]

What about legacy of war?

[@1nZaneR]

So what is Contra 8

[@jammadamma]

where's the original arcade version`?

[@ytstd3775]

Contra 2028

[@jaleru]

I don't understand how Konami can't get this right. Mechanically the game is so simple yet they have destroyed the games reputation with terrible gameplay, graphics and feel. Just literally remake the original and Super C with updated graphics and 120 fps support.

[@futureisyours3016]

What's with the thumbnail!!! The new pic looks he needs supporters for his chest!!!

[@nonstopbro45]

[@GoodCharacterBoy]

Where is Contra 7?

[@leniekotze9697]

the game killed it self by becoming to hard
so hard that you need outside help cheats like ARP or GS

[@a_b_z]

Just show the games pls

[@stevengerrard7610]

its corps,not core ffs

[@ax222k]

начиная с 1996 все контры отстой

[@afsincelik]

First 3-D versions were so bad for these such games, 2-d platform versions are better.

[@bisnu548]

So contra is Japanese but it's patriotic to usa? I know japan is politically and militarily owned by usa but didn't know it affected their pop culture too.
