Is Iron Meat A MUST PLAY for Contra fans?

Is Iron Meat A MUST PLAY for Contra fans? I got an early copy of Irm Meat, the newest game from Retroware and after playing it, I think it is a must play for classic Contra fans & a stellar run & gun arcade platformer!

Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Guys, Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of Iron Meat and do you plan on checking it out when it releases on the 25th?

[@stokjock]

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

You are welcome buddy, it's a good one

[@ritualdelo]

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

[@darthsidren7794]

January 31st, 2025 Update: I finally completed Iron Meat today! I finally defeated the final boss which is the iron meat nightmare and the final section where you escaped with the Pizza Tower/Antonblast/Wario Land 4/Super Metroid countdown escape timer going back to spaceship and flying back on Earth safely and saving the world from Iron Meat!!!!!
My Final Farewell Thoughts Iron Meat:
Iron Meat was overall an amazing, gorgeous, pixel art Super Nintendo/Sega Genesis 16 Bit, run gun, 2D Platformer video game that is an amazing love letter tribute to Triple AAA Konami's Contra series!!!!!!!!!! (Contra 3 The Alien Wars & Contra Hard Corps especially!) Iron Meat will go down one of my brand new favorite 2D Platformer video games!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Retrowave and the rest of the team who worked on this 11/10 2D Platformer 16 Bit SNES/Genesis love letter tribute to the Konami's Contra series!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Iron Meat for the 11/10 memories!!!!!!!!!!
Farewell Iron Meat!!!!!!!!!!

My copy is on its way
I'm excited

[@Chris-HC]

I'll be picking this one up. The free demo was amazing but way too short.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Yeah the first few levels fly by, gets hard quick around level 4

[@Chris-HC]

@@MichaelBtheGameGenie I've just checked to see if it had gone up on steam early, Sadly not.

[@princemal07]

Iron Meat was going to be a thing for iiRcade. Alas the company didn’t follow through with the developer. This title along with something new the developer was working on was going to come to the arcade cabinet. Fortunate for me I pre-ordered my PlayStation five digital copy.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Interesting, too bad I could have probably helped on the Retroware side too if i knew

[@Jason_NSS]

This looks like a banger!

[@Loanwolf387]

Picking up a copy for sure 🎉

[@wdavidrose4426]

Great review. Is this better to play with an Arcade stick or console controller?

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Hard to say, depends on what you prefer. I went controller

[@tedadamgreen]

I’m not into that game style (Contra) but as a huge fan of Sega Genesis, I can say this game looks fantastic! Thanks for the review 👊🏻😎🕹️

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Most welcome brother!

[@RichieCavsRetrocade]

Iron Meat - That's what she said! 😂 This looks awesome. Definite buy.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

lol it's pretty frigging good

[@efasedfafd]

con esa música, a quien no le dan ganas de matar zombis encarnizados.

[@pblair12]

Looks so fun but man I wish it was 4 players

[@mattx449]

So… their next game will be in the style of Doom but with the plot of Contra right?

[@saiyanspirits]

FYI PS5 disc drives back in stock on Sony direct.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Nice thanks for the heads up!
