This one feels so familiar at the start. It's exactly like I just walked into my friend's house and he's in the zone with a game, so I don't say anything just sit down to watch, because I've been there a million times too. That's the feeling you replicate, of when kids would sit and watch each other play these games. Takes me right back.
Exactly! Didn't watch the stream, so for him to start this video with him dying and screaming in frustration, before slapping that reset button with all his might... Just quietly take my seat and piece what's happening together myself.
I remember when I bought an SNES Classic I played at least a little of every game on it, and when I played this game, for the first ten seconds I was like “Wow! This is badass!”; then my reaction quickly changed to “Holy shit this game is hard as fuck!!!!”😂
Stage 4 is a damn fun stage. I remember being like "NO WAY!" when the game asked me to grab on to a freaking chopper and lifted me up, and then I found myself jumping between missiles in the sky while fighting a boss. That was so much badass stuff at once that it was almost overwhelming.
Hard mode start with default settings for lives, is harder than it looks sometimes, no death is even harder, it may be possible but you really need to do everything right for that, great run by the way.
I done no death on this game years ago and I can say that crush missiles, laser and flamethrower are the 3 main weapons you would want throughout the game with having laser at all times once you get it.
I can run Contra and Super C with no continues, but this one kicks my ass. I can beat it but I've never even attempted Hard mode. Mike, you are a legend, look forward to the next game you crush
@@dannysummers4591 Ah, it's a fast game on Hard mode but I got used to it and beaten it. Both Laser and Crush Missiles are the main 2 weapons you want through the whole game, heck Laser should be owned at all times once you get it.
my favourite part was the "fucking come on" (resets the game) after dying at the start of level 1. No matter how good you are, Contra can always do that.
I like these kinds of challenges a lot; there is something intense and exciting about trying to make the best out of the lives that you start with during a really hard playthrough, and then try to collect more extralives throughout the game.
Love that at the 4:00 there’s already swearing and screaming but either way great run dude that trick you guys do at the eyes of the final boss is amazing !!!!
I never beat this game solo, back in the day I beat it with a friend and we beat it on regular difficulty. Later we found out via Nintendo Power that you either had to beat the game on "hard" or go through the second loop to get the "real ending." So, it was back to the start with my friend and it took us awhile to "git gud" at the "hard" difficulty but we finally beat it after at least 3 weeks of working on it. GG.
This has always been my personal favorite Contra game, everything about it is awesome, the graphics, the music, the only thing i never cared for is the top down stages, i wish they all could have been side scrolling, but aside from that this game is a masterpiece imo, GG Mike.
Finally got this game today and played it on Normal difficulty with 3 lives in my first 2 attempts, then on my third attempt, played it on Normal with 7 lives. Such a challenging game. Can't get past the third stage boss and game over'd on the boss. That's the best I can do. No way am I playing it on Easy.
I watched you do this on twitch for two days!! So many moments, you had me on the edge of my seat!! So glad you finally pulled it off!! Can’t wait to see what you do next bro!!
The parents in the 80s were absolutely right. In hindsight I wish I never got into video games. I could have probably done more constructive things with my spare time. Now I'm in my 40s and it's too late.
i stopped doubting you after the no sub weapon no death on ninja gaiden... no way id have enough patience and I'd probably break whatever i was playing on after the ,100th death reset
Homing Missile is excellent for groups of weak targets, especially on the overhead stages, and Flamethrower is incredibly good for damage on bosses. All the weapons in this game are great.
Not sure how the fuck you beat the stage 3 miniboss with the drill on hard mode, it's so unpredictable that you get fucked by rng since it bounces when it hits the wall. I can beat it on normal easy

I'm here for the rage and skill, and I'm never disappointed!

Really great stream, glad I got to watch it live!
Thanks for being there when I was doing it!
16:40 I lost my shit as a kid playing that part, the sound of the claws ripping the door are forever in my head.
"That is what the 80s and 90s were like."
So true.
Never a dull moment on a Mike Matei video
Stage 4 is a damn fun stage.

I could never make it passed like level 4 or 5 even with the life code, the game just moves way too fast for me

Awesome, well done Mike. I was thinking no death was on the cards for a while but that last part would drive you even more crazy 😜
Great show, Mike!
Super impressive!
Excellent work as always Mike. Your passion for gaming is just admirable.
Mike you never fail to entertain! Thank you good sir!
I don't know why but Mike's Contra3 stream was so addictive I watched the whole stream. GG Mike!!

Wonderful start of a video: "FUUUCK!" It expresses the feelings of many players of this game
Love that at the 4:00 there’s already swearing and screaming but either way great run dude that trick you guys do at the eyes of the final boss is amazing !!!!
Well done dude! There were a few hairy moments during the run but you nailed it this time!
I was so tense watching the boss fight at 20:30. Mike I don't know how you do it; I can barely watch it, let alone play it!
Homing missiles makes that boss fight easier, but yeah with other weapons it can be intense.
I remember trying hard mode a few times, then being over it fast
I was trying so hard to stay awake to see it happen live... it was a fun journey, congrats Mike!
Awesome brother. Me and my roommate used to play this and Smash TV all the time. Brought back some good and bad memories. Thank Mike.
I love when your so pissed off that even the time it takes for the game to reset aggravates you💯😂
Contra III: The Alien Wars, one of the epic SNES games. Nice job. Looking forward to this one being discussed on the podcast.
Congratulation Mike, you are a gaming champion!
I turn on the video and I immediately hear him yell f*** that was hilarious 😂

I knew you could do it, Mike Matei!!
Awesome job, Mike! Great game!

Amazing job! Love your streams. Greetings from Poland Mike :)
its funny how Castlevania 4 was so chill compared to the first three games, but this game makes Contra and Super C feel like a walk in the park
When you get so angry and lose your last class continue, that's a sign that you need to take a break.
Finally got this game today and played it on Normal difficulty with 3 lives in my first 2 attempts, then on my third attempt, played it on Normal with 7 lives. Such a challenging game.

That face of accomplishment at the end was deserved, well done Mike.

No gratuitous swearing and no nonsense talk are Mike's best videos.
First 20 seconds is pure gold
Holy crap man well done
The man is a machine!
0:04 was my favorite part of the episode
The freaking king of gaming
eh. Any challenges you'd like to see me try?
@@mikematei I challenge you with getting back with the band Mike, can't believe you left Sex Diaper, stupid autocorrect. Rex Viper I meant!
@@mikematei street fighter two on the hardest difficulty
@@mikematei Contra Hard Corps either 1CC like you did with Contra 3 or no death on the best ending route.
nice one, congrats
UN BELIEVE ABLE !!!! Congrats !!!!
Loved it! gg man!!
Mike that was epic 👌 🎮 Well done 👏👏👏
I can beat the original Contra and Super C without dying once, but that’s like playing patty cakes compared to this game on hard. Good job Mike!
Yeah I done Contra NES and Super C without dying as well and it took me a few years to do Contra 3 without dying on hard.
I love this game.
ha ha 3 lives only hard difficulty, and that beginning :) love
Good job mike!
Awesome!!
Good job man
Glad you beat it with 3 lives, doing it on hard with 7 is hard enough
Mike is a 👑 🐐
Amazing accomplishment Mike 👊🔥🔥👊
The spread bullets look like Gushers
Ladies and gentlemen, the REAL angry video game nerd.
Maybe the game doesn’t exist Mike. Mind 💥🤯
Bro is that tricky phase 3 from madness combat in the thumbnail???

989 29:11 a master class in reflexes.
"Little Timmy" never listens. That's wha'cha get "Little Timmy".. that's wha'cha get.
🤯Aaaahhhhhh
i stopped doubting you after the no sub weapon no death on ninja gaiden... no way id have enough patience and I'd probably break whatever i was playing on after the ,100th death reset
what is with all the hate for homing missiles and fire? I usually used homing for most levels and saved fire for the bosses.
Homing Missile is excellent for groups of weak targets, especially on the overhead stages, and Flamethrower is incredibly good for damage on bosses.
All the weapons in this game are great.
Do you have the power Nintendo power
Damm bro MikE got skillz
mike we love you .... but i see you slipping into insanity lol
That happened long ago
@@mikematei so question how do donate like steam games and such to you sir?
Lol mike is the real avgn
This game fucks
have you ever played contra rebirth?
Hello Mike
🐯
Yeah
And...clunk.
988 4:30. Melted
impressive. what about life force on nes.
Good idea. Great game. Have fond memories of playing through that game with James in college.
@@mikematei same only completed it as a Kid but can't on those emulated versions. original is best.
@@mikematei maybe you should do 2palyers with James for old times sake. would love to see it. you the man.
I want to see some Contra Rogue Corps. I love that game.
Not sure how the fuck you beat the stage 3 miniboss with the drill on hard mode, it's so unpredictable that you get fucked by rng since it bounces when it hits the wall. I can beat it on normal easy
Usually you want to stay up top and then when it decides to try to drill you move to the bottom then repeat that until you destroy it.
Torturing yourself again bestie? 😅
Woohoo

Pew pew pew 😎🇺🇸👍👍
This is unhealthy
Probably
he's making money
Damn! GG, Mike! Congrats! 😄
