If Konami is not willing to make a good Contra game these days (or a half decent one, unlike the vomit-inducing Rogue Corps, which is hardly Contra, especially with that overheating weapons bullshit...), the very least it can do is to re-release this one alongside Shattered Soldier, possibly with some of the other titles that didn't make it to the Anniversary Collection, like Contra 4 or ReBirth.
To me, this game is what a 3D Contra should be. This is what Legacy of War, Contra Adventure, and Rouge Corps should have been like. It really upsets me how Neo Contra is the only 3D contra game that is actually good. A real shame because I do think there is potential in a 3D contra game. Like maybe a third or first person shooter like Doom or something. Now that I think of it, the new Doom games kinda feel like 3D run and gun games. Run forward, shoot everything in sight, avoid enemy fire, use a variety of weapons to deal with waves of enemies. JUST LIKE CONTRA! Only problem with the idea of a 3D contra is how bad it has been executed over the past years, which is why a lot people (including me) prefer contra to be only 2D.
I would actually like to see another 3D Contra done right - I do feel it's possible, it's just striking that balance between a good control scheme that works and getting that run and gun feeling down pat. Some good examples of other 3D games that do this (besides Neo Contra) are One, Apocalypse, MDK and to some extent Jet Force Gemini.
Have you tried the last one, rogue corps? Heard it was bad but haven't played it myself yet. I think it's pretty unlikely we get anything out of konami as good as neo contra any time soon, or ever again with what they are doing these days lol
@@PEG It's a game I still need to complete - I took a break from it when I got stuck on a longer stage that killed me twice towards the end of it - once from being reckless and again for running out of time (yeah time limits are a thing). I don't really like the shop system interface and I've mostly ignored it and probably made the game harder on myself as a result. I'm still willing to give it another shot someday, but it can't be compared to previous entries in the series, that's for sure.
I wish this and Shattered Soldier were on modern systems. I'll always prefer something like Hard Corps and Uprising, but this is a very unique take for the series and I think it was executed fairly well. The music is also great.
Mi infancia mi papito lindo me regalo una play 2 cuando yo tenia 9 años y fueron las tardes después del colegio y mis tareas de la casa que disfrute jugando este juego y matrix hoy con 33 años aun soy fanático de los video juegos
Wow with the 11th movie in the game(like where do you go from here? With Earth destroyed where y'all off to?) And Nice art gallery with that girl(so anime to it) and rogue corps is yeah a little shitty lol😆 and just saying never play this contra game just shattered soldiers or whatever
Because it's got thr most annoying sections and randomness, thus easiest to get killed in. Rather get it out of the way early and not have to restart so often.
Shattered soldier was a good game, but the story direction was bad. This game was cool too, but again bad story. Contra 4 saved the series, but now the story remains in stagnation as Earth being under constant fire for reason unknown. The series does branch off into different directions.
![Neo Contra / ネオコントラ (2004) PS2 - 2 Players 100% S-rank [TAS]](/img/n.gif)
Best 5 dollar bin game I've ever played when i was younger. Really wish there was another angled isometric game like it
Love how you didn't skip the intro at all.
You're not supposed to when you're showcasing a game
hard to skip on such a badass intro tbh
Very underrated Contra
It sure is, probably the most underrated in the entire series.
@@PEG Have you played Last Resort? I’d like to see you do a play through it if you’d like.
I own it but haven't played it much
Man I wish neo contra 2
Man I wish neo contra 2 is added
Bill Ryzer is so cool and brutal. He even can run on helicopter's blade. Can your Serious Sam and Duke Nukem do that?
I don’t even remember this game coming out. It’s really impressive for a PS2 game. I wish Konami would bundle these for the new systems or something.
This and shattered soldier are the best 3D contra games ever made
You make this look so fun,GG dude✌

Download Contra Operation Galuga demo.
It's pretty cool.
P.s you can turn off the annoying voice acting in the game.
@@nWoPorViDa Can confirm , Operation Galuga might not be a masterpiece but its WAY better than the stain Rouge corps was.

What's cr
'Rouge Corps,' the Contra with blusher.
I was doing speed runs with this way before UA-cam channels doing it was a thing. I wish I started one way back when
This channel is giving me nostalgic vibes ❤️
何度見ても爆発で吹っ飛ばされる犬が笑える
still better than Rogue Corps

The last great contra game to be released . Any contra game after this one wasn’t fun or good at all
Yay el contra 4 de nintendo DS es genial hasta podría decir mejor que este y el contra Rebirth de nintendo Wii también es bueno
Contra Operation Galuga is out 3/12/24.
Just finished the demo, I like it.
You can turn the annoying voices off too.
well we have operation galuga now.
Mi infancia mi papito lindo me regalo una play 2 cuando yo tenia 9 años y fueron las tardes después del colegio y mis tareas de la casa que disfrute jugando este juego y matrix hoy con 33 años aun soy fanático de los video juegos
didn't know the game had few more secret mission damn, been trying to "finished" when i was a kid
This game is becoming hard to find in North America. Gonna be another one of those expensive Contra games.
Never even heard of it
Just use an emulator to play it. Unless your goal is to keep it as a collectable
42:19 To show you the power of flextape
this is final story of Contra.
Yeah, until Operation Galuga came along and rebooted the series.
Daría lo que sea por volverlo a jugar 😢
I like Mission 2 because you get to ride the Yoshi.
Long Time No see It. :D
Another game I wish I could play on ps4 or ps5
dem cheeks at the end though.
I played shattered soldier….hosed I miss this one
13:54... So why was he running... On TOP of the propellers?
Why wouldn't he?
So he could fly. Helicopter was out of fuel.
So who is the real Bill Ryzer? The Boss, or he just died long time ago and there are theses versions of him?
The real Bill Rizer is the elderly looking man in the green uniform who calls himself Mystery G that you fight just before plant contra
Feel like dances dances revolution
Lightning blast was the best
Is this a reference to Samurai Showdown?
What is?
@@SolCresta340542:20 I forgot to put this in my comment... but what do you think?
@@Danielperezdps More like Fist of the North Star.
@@SolCresta3405
too, but when the narrator says: uhhh, it sounds a lot like Samurai Shodow from the SNES.
Okay.@@Danielperezdps
Yeahh
good game now ps2 game we can play on android😘😘😘😘😘
wait...this games is 60fps on ps2 console?
wow
People didn't like this much because it wasn't enough alien's and over the top shooter if I recall.
this game is still a fun time imo
I know I saw he will destroy the earth after the grade below 60% how muchh
way better than , operation galuga
Neo contra is the most underrated contra of all time imo
Operation Galuga also good though.
I just keep thinking that Jaguar Yagyu would join it with his Katana fight. 😂
Wow with the 11th movie in the game(like where do you go from here? With Earth destroyed where y'all off to?)
And Nice art gallery with that girl(so anime to it) and rogue corps is yeah a little shitty lol😆 and just saying never play this contra game just shattered soldiers or whatever
✌✌✌
Wait, why you start at mission 2 bro?
Because it's got thr most annoying sections and randomness, thus easiest to get killed in. Rather get it out of the way early and not have to restart so often.
What happen if you get bad end below 60%
Master Contra uses the space station to blow up the planet. Search for Neo Contra bad ending and you can see it.
@@PEG I saw it.
Shattered soldier was a good game, but the story direction was bad.
This game was cool too, but again bad story. Contra 4 saved the series, but
now the story remains in stagnation as Earth being under constant fire for reason unknown.
The series does branch off into different directions.
who the hell plays Contra for the story lol
@@cps1247 No one, but there it is.
