To anyone at Konami reading this, please give us Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Vandal Hearts remakes just like this. PLEASE!

This is the best version of Contra yet.

Beautiful new take on the classics. Huge difficulty spike so be aware. I grew up with this bullcrap in the 80's. You have to devote some time to learning the levels and each character's move set. A lot of it I could rely on my decades old worthless classic video game skills, but certain levels challenged me in new ways that I may or may not have enjoyed, such as the temple level. Those challenges were just TOO MUCH. I wonder who in the world is doing these challenges under par time or playing on the hardest difficulty levels?
