I thought this game was pretty good. When I played the demo, I thought to my self, "Is Konami turning over a new leaf?" Then again, this was developed by WayForward Technologies, and they made Contra 4. Their presence is a good sign.
I do think "disaster" is just a bit hyperbolic, but then this is one of many channels that makes their money on hyperbolic clickbait. I definitely noticed technical rough-edges in the demo, and would prefer a more consistent framerate, but there are far worse ports on the Switch, and it was for the most part very playable.
This is one of the biggest clickbait Nintendo content creators. Man even sent photos when he almost had a heart attack for clicks. He is really is such a waste.
Yeah it seemed like ever since he sold most of his games off he's been getting whiney and click bait. Him and Dreamcastguy both are becoming less reliable as reviewers. I am not going to say he doesn't make good points but does it have to come off like he's a crybaby?
@@Realmreaver1The Switch version is undoubtedly the worst version of the game with a lower, inconsistent framerate and freezing, if you have any other way to play the game, it's going to be superior, I just don't think it's technically unplayable. It's very sub-par, sure, certainly for $40, but you could have fun with it if you have no other way to play the game. The same can be said for a lot of Switch ports.
whats weird is i played the demo and i saw in between frames of animation between standing and proning. But.... suddenly that stopped and it just snaps to prone?
@@MrJZ27 I absolutely had no issues and I played for a good half hour. No flex, no lie. I enjoyed my time with it. Sucks to hear people are having issues tho.
I didn't think the issues (as noticeable as they are) were all that bad on the switch demo at first. I mean it's still playable. But then I played the demo on ps4. After going back and trying the switch again the issues were much more noticeable.
I think yeah they could have had an extra frame animation for going prone, but it's not a deal breaker. Neither is the slight pause on a new section loading. If there's lag with the controls, or the framerate causes gameplay issues, then there's a problem.
I did play both the steam version, and the switch version, the steam version (steam deck) ran very well but when I played the switch version the frame rate was low and I got random pauses in different areas of the level. hope they fix this
I played the full demo, I like the new movements Wayforward added , but I think the option to grab on vertical bars and underside rocks needs to be polish.
First thing I noticed on the switch was the massive button lag especially for the jump. Fps drop I haven’t noticed, will need to try again, but the other issue was after continue on arcade mode the music did not play only had sound effects.
Theres a lot of people disagreeing with his views, i totally agree with him. On the switch, the demo suffers from lag in hand-held mode, and platforming doesn't feel good, you are not being harsh l would say pretty accurate description of this laggy crap, on switch hand-held demo anyway, ill try it on ps5 if theres a demo

For 7 years now, don't you know that there has to be some compromise if it is a hybrid portable system?
I don’t know why people buy things on the switch still. I feel like that’s the console the developers are always like “eh; it “works”. Send it.” I get it’s portable but just never worth it.

@BetoZayasGaoking not really. I just played both. The jumping frame rate happened, yes, but once. And on my Switch on the second boss, my controller went haywire.....and the controls are a bit more....stiff on Switch.

I played the demo and it runs bad. There are frame drops and the graphics on it doesn’t suit this game. Also there are audio issues. The music stops playing. There is a slight delay in the input. 🤷♀️. I don’t like it. 👎
It looks like the comment section isn't going the way you thought it would. Seems like most of us loved the demo. This is coming from a massive fan of Contra, Super C and Contra III and I enjoyed it. Definitely buying the full game.
Not to be too harsh but if you are a Contra fan, you'd realize there's more character in one screen of Contra 3 than in the entire first level of this new one. This is the lowest effort cash grab exploit Konami has pulled with yet another one of their beloved legacy franchises I've seen in a while.
I played it on Switch and ps4 and the differences were very noticeable. Most of which were frame rates and input lag along with some audio issues as well. The input lag on the switch is very noticeable though. I would be amazed if the performance on the ps5 was less than that of the ps4.
its because they want the player's movement to be snappy, so they cant have long animations. The enemies can do transitions and stuff because its all scripted.

@@jermainewright1757 I have no stutters on my son's Switch. I just downloaded the demo. It runs smoothly! I have a modern Samsung 4K tv with an excellent processor. The key is to play it on the Game Mode on the tv. You may get stutters playing in standard tv mode.
I had no FPS issues on Switch 🤔 maybe it's your capture card? No stutters, frame drops or freezes for me at all and I really enjoyed this demo, a LOT. Maybe because I am playing a fairly new Switch OLED? I am the demographic as well for this game. Looking forward to it. No matter what, it's 100x better than past COntra games when it comes to performance, playability, graphics and so on. But time will tell for the actual story and levels.
I played it on my switch OLED and it functioned just fine. I didn't notice any drops in frame rate. I played with Lance, but felt it controlled exactly as I expected. I didn't experience the lag that most people are talking about. I've played through the demo a few times now. The only problem I encountered was the seemingly long load time. I do hope that they polish some things up, but I have no reason to doubt Wayforward. Contra 4 was awesome and they did that so I have faith in it.
I redownloaded the demo and played through again. I did finally see some stutter. Some playthroughs were smooth and some would stutter. Very inconsistent. Hopefully that isn't in the full game. Never got the music disappearing issue.
BREAKING NEWS! : - Hi-Fi rush is coming to PS5 on March 19th - at a cheaper price than the Xbox version WITH a physical copy (Xbox closed their physical gaming department) - Xbox players basically Beta tested this game and barely anyone on the Xbox side bought the game - the complete patched version of hi-fi rush is coming to ps5 with haptic feedbacks and later on VR capabilities! - more games coming to PlayStation/Nintendo faster then we expected! - grounded and pentiment announced on Nintendo switch direct
On the+ side Contra is back! On the - side: hopefully those issues are addressed before release WayForward is usually on the ball with all of their games.
This game on Switch is running at 30fps with drops. There's no reason for that. I recently got Doom Eternal on Switch from LRG and that game is running at a smooth 30 with no hiccups that I've noticed so far and it's rendering A TON more stuff than this game. So that means there's no excuse this game is 30fps and stuttery.
Wow. This is a shocker. I downloaded the demo and I loved it. I cannot wait to get my hands on the physical copy. Well, it just goes to show that you can’t please everybody. RGT, you’re entitled to your opinion. I’ll just enjoy the game on my own. But thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
There are frame rate issues but nothing that really has ruined it for me. I agree that with games like hollow knight, Metroid dread, or prince of persia running so well, wayforward can do better.
Unreal Engine 4 games on the Switch are notorious for stuttering and sudden chugging frame rates for no particular reason. The Link's Awakening remake is a notorious example of this. I'm not sure what engine this game is using but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that is what is powering it.

It runs flawlessly on Game Mode on my modern Samsung 4K tv. I just played the demo. Zero stutters! Lies. He may be playing on regular tv mode. I played the Switch demo.
This is one of the very few times I dont agree with you. RGT you are wrong about this game. The game is fine the problem is you.(I do know nothing is perfect and things can always be improved) Try looking at all the controls before you review a game,which obviously you didnt do this time.
Very different style. Anime stylized. Still AGAIN looks better than this new game. And again older. So for me they simply totally messed up the art direction in this new one. ruclips.net/video/3t-FxdPD31s/видео.htmlsi=dLO-aERd9s-Pc8Mv
I totally agree, yesterday I played on the switch, they should focus on the game running smooth even if they have to sacrifice graphics a little bit. Also I felt very strange the controls, normal bullets hit Me and was hard to avoid. I think there is something strange with the controls.
I wonder if the graphics are compromised on the Nintendo Switch, like the new MK1's graphics were. I'd be more up for a review on Steam, Xbox or Playstation. I do agree the graphics could be better in this day and age. Like modernising it in the style for Streets if Rage 4 or keeping it retro like TMNT Shredder's revenge or Blazing Chrome. Ps. Ha!, Smelly gamers are a thing, back in the 90s I def had to plug my nose if front of MK2 in the arcade machine.
Yep! The game itself is pretty good, but what is up with performance? It looks like it's 60fps on ps5, but a game like this should run at 60 on switch too. Just look at the latest Prince of Persia !
Played the demo on switch and ps4. There is a noticeable difference. Not only frame rate issues on the switch but I also had some obvious input lag on the switch. It's still playable but the experience was a better one on the ps4, for me at least.
The Switch port was obviously very lazily done. The other versions of the demo run much better and at 60 FPS. Its kind of a bad business decision at that point, considering this type of game will sell best on the Switch. Also disappointed considering this is WayForward, who has done great work on Switch orherwise.
@@JBird401 yea, the game release digital next month, so their physical copy could take around a year for the standard version and 2 years for the collectors edition.

I have none of these issues with the performance on my Switch. It runs perfect. Your switch may need to be rebooted or maybe try a different micro sd card.
Here , here. I think he has crappy inferior micro sd card. Sandisk is a trusted brand. I haven't experienced any stutters. Maybe when he gets it on the cartridge he will see it plays better.
The contra demo is fine. I think most of the opinions of the video game community are delusional & out of control. If we fold our arms and wait for a 100% perfect game then we'll never play our consoles.
I played the demo. That's the demo you've got there too, yes? Sure is. Seems like you're passing a lot of judgment on just a demo. After a few min, I got the controls down. You can do it, bro.
Thank you for letting me know about this demo! I literally just read an article about The Plucky Squire hoping they’d give a release date… no luck there. The other game I wanted to know its release date was Contra. Disheartened to hear the game is kinda wonky, but hopefully the full version will be better than the demo. Will be buying it either way.
the demo also available on other platforms too, I tried the demo on the ps4 ( base ps4 ) to be precise, and it looks and ran better than the switch version already, so the jannkyness is a switch version problem only. my only complain is that it ran at 30FPS which is odd for a game that looks like mobile game. tought I think the game is decent.
did you try to full game? because all this problems you "find" ... never was a thing to me while playing the actual game.. games is awesome, looks really good
Really missing uprising's ability to lock your aim here. Didn't expect uprising's reflects, vaults, tackles etc to come back but locking aim so I can shoot in one direction while moving in another I thought would be an obvious inclusion given how much was borrowed from previous games.
I downloaded the demo while watching this, and played through the story mode and didn’t experience these problems only 1 hiccup. I was thinking did they patch the demo?? Then after beating it went over to arcade and bam all the problems. Weird how story mode runs mostly fine and arcade doesn’t of the exact same level
no not to harsh. It is not a good contra game on the switch... the frame rate interrupts with the gameplay way too much. The jumping is delayed. The double jump is fine though... don't know but this demo was not a good first impression! It made me play the old nes ones! This Contra does not hold a candle to Contra and Super Contra. I guess Wayforward does also use the unitiy engine for this game. Ah well.. lets just hope that it is an really early demo...
You could see from the very 1st trailer that this was gonna be crap, the only thing that was giving me hope was the wayforward name slapped on it. It looks like a port of the Chinese mobile version of contra
I played through the demo on the PS4, and the hiccups and freezes are sadly there as well. They only show up in STORY MODE, but during the vertical climb, I can count 4-5 times I would start a jump and the whole game would hiccup/freeze and I'd end up dead since the jump was off.
I got the PS5 version yesterday. None of the frame rate issues on there (patched or cuz the 5, I dunno). Controls are a little twitchy but I'm getting used to it. I don't remember if the PS5 version is "missing frames".
It runs great on my old launch edition PS4. I noticed you can aim diagnal with the axis stck and pinpoint your target without having to move the character. It makes it easier to aim while climbing walls. I didn't notice any frame drop on the PS4.
I played the demo on PS5 and I thought it was pretty alright. I was gonna pick it up on switch, but if it has performance issues ill just get it on PS5. Limited run is doing a physical copy so thats nice. They have done a lot of konami games recently.

The demo was awesome, don't know what this Nintendo RUclipsr is talking about!
Telling from the graphics, I hope it gets a release for the N64 as well
Haha!
Fr what are these DOGSHIT graphics. One of the ugliest games Ive ever seen. Switch needs to die and stop making games
As someone who grew up in the 90's... Frame Rate jank has always been normal for me... Doesn't bother me that much tbh...
Just because you accept garbage, doesn't mean the rest of us should be fed garbage
I played the demo and it runs bad. There are frame drops and the graphics on it doesn’t suit this game. Also there are audio issues. The music stops playing. There is a slight delay in the input. 🤷♀️. I don’t like it. 👎
It looks like the comment section isn't going the way you thought it would.
Seems like most of us loved the demo. This is coming from a massive fan of Contra, Super C and Contra III and I enjoyed it. Definitely buying the full game.
It's Crash Team Racing all over again
Not to be too harsh but if you are a Contra fan, you'd realize there's more character in one screen of Contra 3 than in the entire first level of this new one. This is the lowest effort cash grab exploit Konami has pulled with yet another one of their beloved legacy franchises I've seen in a while.
@@karnagefails333 Seems like someone hasn't heard of Silent Hill: The Short Message, which only came out a week or two ago
@@karnagefails333 I recommend blazing chrome as an Contra alternative.
I played the demo on Switch and PS5. I didn't notice any difference.
Glasses my friend I also played the demo on both and was nice on the ps5
I played it on Switch and ps4 and the differences were very noticeable. Most of which were frame rates and input lag along with some audio issues as well. The input lag on the switch is very noticeable though. I would be amazed if the performance on the ps5 was less than that of the ps4.
Say sike please
The title should be
“Angry man identifies as smelly old woman who hates Switch versions of games” 🤣🤣
The enemy sprite movements look better than the players
its because they want the player's movement to be snappy, so they cant have long animations. The enemies can do transitions and stuff because its all scripted.
@@Ninjaculation Looks weird. It's a little off-putting.
@@stryderblaze80 i agree, just saying i think that was the reason.
I am disappointed in RGT. I may unsubscribe. I just downloaded the demo on my son's Nintendo. I noticed when I play normally, I got the stutters but on Game Mode on my modern Samsung 4K tv it runs flawlessly! Stop misleading people RGT! Shame on you! I will definitely buy it on the physical cartridge by Limited run.
@@jermainewright1757 I have no stutters on my son's Switch. I just downloaded the demo. It runs smoothly! I have a modern Samsung 4K tv with an excellent processor. The key is to play it on the Game Mode on the tv. You may get stutters playing in standard tv mode.
I had no FPS issues on Switch 🤔 maybe it's your capture card? No stutters, frame drops or freezes for me at all and I really enjoyed this demo, a LOT. Maybe because I am playing a fairly new Switch OLED? I am the demographic as well for this game. Looking forward to it. No matter what, it's 100x better than past COntra games when it comes to performance, playability, graphics and so on. But time will tell for the actual story and levels.
I enjoyed the Contra demo. Had no issues on Steam version.
Thats how they prone in the original game...
I played it on my switch OLED and it functioned just fine. I didn't notice any drops in frame rate. I played with Lance, but felt it controlled exactly as I expected. I didn't experience the lag that most people are talking about. I've played through the demo a few times now. The only problem I encountered was the seemingly long load time. I do hope that they polish some things up, but I have no reason to doubt Wayforward. Contra 4 was awesome and they did that so I have faith in it.
I redownloaded the demo and played through again. I did finally see some stutter. Some playthroughs were smooth and some would stutter. Very inconsistent. Hopefully that isn't in the full game. Never got the music disappearing issue.
I noticed the same. It can be good one day and a little questionable the next. Most likely a day one patch. It's Way Forward, I trust them.
Its a multi platform, no point on wasting money on getting it on switch
Litterally change the clickbait negative title. I just played the Demo on Switch and didnt have a single issue. Played flawlessly
It plays at 30 fps locked, that is a major issue and a broken game period in 2024
@chiquita683 Hard disagree. Go get on your PC Master Race console. While I enjoy playing this game in a car, on a plane, out camping, etc etc etc
BREAKING NEWS! :
- Hi-Fi rush is coming to PS5 on March 19th
- at a cheaper price than the Xbox version WITH a physical copy (Xbox closed their physical gaming department)
- Xbox players basically Beta tested this game and barely anyone on the Xbox side bought the game
- the complete patched version of hi-fi rush is coming to ps5 with haptic feedbacks and later on VR capabilities!
- more games coming to PlayStation/Nintendo faster then we expected!
- grounded and pentiment announced on Nintendo switch direct
On the+ side Contra is back!
On the - side: hopefully those issues are addressed before release
WayForward is usually on the ball with all of their games.
This game on Switch is running at 30fps with drops. There's no reason for that. I recently got Doom Eternal on Switch from LRG and that game is running at a smooth 30 with no hiccups that I've noticed so far and it's rendering A TON more stuff than this game. So that means there's no excuse this game is 30fps and stuttery.
Wow. This is a shocker. I downloaded the demo and I loved it. I cannot wait to get my hands on the physical copy.
Well, it just goes to show that you can’t please everybody. RGT, you’re entitled to your opinion. I’ll just enjoy the game on my own. But thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
I'm confused. Yesterday you were hyped about retromania, and that looked way worse than this game.
frame rate karen smh
Framerate is essencial.
I thought there were weird delays as well. I hope the actual game doesn't have these issues 🤞
There are frame rate issues but nothing that really has ruined it for me. I agree that with games like hollow knight, Metroid dread, or prince of persia running so well, wayforward can do better.
Unreal Engine 4 games on the Switch are notorious for stuttering and sudden chugging frame rates for no particular reason. The Link's Awakening remake is a notorious example of this. I'm not sure what engine this game is using but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that is what is powering it.
Its Unity (I worked on it)
I am disappointed in RGT. I may unsubscribe. I just downloaded the demo on my son's Nintendo.

It runs flawlessly on Game Mode on my modern Samsung 4K tv. I just played the demo. Zero stutters! Lies. He may be playing on regular tv mode. I played the Switch demo.
This is one of the very few times I dont agree with you. RGT you are wrong about this game. The game is fine the problem is you.(I do know nothing is perfect and things can always be improved) Try looking at all the controls before you review a game,which obviously you didnt do this time.
I was having issues where he would just fall through the floor but I closed out the game and restarted and it worked fine
"So... which one of you is Contra? Is it me? Am I the Contra? Oh, I hope I'm the Contra!" ~Dorkly
I'm an OG Hardcore Contra Fan... I'm buying this game I don't care if the controls suck lol... I'll manage...
Should have went with a pixel art style with SNES or Genesis graphics. The 2.5D style just kills the Contra Vibe.
Not the biggest fan of this. But this is 22 years old. And looks better imo.
ruclips.net/video/TpTKlVJ1cBU/видео.htmlsi=zVjfF9uxYoY_aQpS
Very different style. Anime stylized. Still AGAIN looks better than this new game. And again older.
So for me they simply totally messed up the art direction in this new one.
ruclips.net/video/3t-FxdPD31s/видео.htmlsi=dLO-aERd9s-Pc8Mv
I totally agree, yesterday I played on the switch, they should focus on the game running smooth even if they have to sacrifice graphics a little bit. Also I felt very strange the controls, normal bullets hit
Me and was hard to avoid. I think there is something strange with the controls.
I wonder if the graphics are compromised on the Nintendo Switch, like the new MK1's graphics were. I'd be more up for a review on Steam, Xbox or Playstation. I do agree the graphics could be better in this day and age. Like modernising it in the style for Streets if Rage 4 or keeping it retro like TMNT Shredder's revenge or Blazing Chrome.
Ps. Ha!, Smelly gamers are a thing, back in the 90s I def had to plug my nose if front of MK2 in the arcade machine.
It looks like this on all platforms
Yep! The game itself is pretty good, but what is up with performance? It looks like it's 60fps on ps5, but a game like this should run at 60 on switch too. Just look at the latest Prince of Persia !
I have no issues at all. Play like contra
Thats why I quit playing switch and use my Rog Ally - hope the Switch 2 makes a better job
no one needs contra in 3d. first mistake was to make it a 3d game
Everybody's favorite Nintendo RUclipsr
Switch Struggling with a 2D game 😬
This dude is such a cry baby
Some people just have standards
Played the demo on switch and ps4. There is a noticeable difference. Not only frame rate issues on the switch but I also had some obvious input lag on the switch. It's still playable but the experience was a better one on the ps4, for me at least.
WayForward do the Shantae games (and I LOVE those) and they play like a dream. How is this so bad? (in comparison)
The Switch port was obviously very lazily done. The other versions of the demo run much better and at 60 FPS. Its kind of a bad business decision at that point, considering this type of game will sell best on the Switch. Also disappointed considering this is WayForward, who has done great work on Switch orherwise.
Hey RGT I could see the stuttering and also understand exactly where ur coming from. Unfortunately most or your community is misleading
My love buddy
Is this game getting a physical release on day 1 or digital only?
Physical on Limited Run Games, preorder starts tomorrow. I just heard digital only in a box day one but not sure which retailer will have it.
@@-RH80- bummer, i hate limited run
@@JBird401 yea, the game release digital next month, so their physical copy could take around a year for the standard version and 2 years for the collectors edition.
@@-RH80- Limited Fun

I have none of these issues with the performance on my Switch. It runs perfect. Your switch may need to be rebooted or maybe try a different micro sd card.
Here , here. I think he has crappy inferior micro sd card. Sandisk is a trusted brand. I haven't experienced any stutters. Maybe when he gets it on the cartridge he will see it plays better.
The contra demo is fine. I think most of the opinions of the video game community are delusional & out of control. If we fold our arms and wait for a 100% perfect game then we'll never play our consoles.
I played the demo. That's the demo you've got there too, yes? Sure is. Seems like you're passing a lot of judgment on just a demo. After a few min, I got the controls down. You can do it, bro.
I played it on the Nintendo switch had some frame rate issues but I’m still gonna buy the game
Thank you for letting me know about this demo! I literally just read an article about The Plucky Squire hoping they’d give a release date… no luck there. The other game I wanted to know its release date was Contra. Disheartened to hear the game is kinda wonky, but hopefully the full version will be better than the demo. Will be buying it either way.
the demo also available on other platforms too, I tried the demo on the ps4 ( base ps4 ) to be precise, and it looks and ran better than the switch version already, so the jannkyness is a switch version problem only.
my only complain is that it ran at 30FPS which is odd for a game that looks like mobile game.
tought I think the game is decent.
did you try to full game? because all this problems you "find" ... never was a thing to me while playing the actual game.. games is awesome, looks really good
..on PC
Its fine, hes just calling it a disaster for click bait. Channel is a meme now. 😂
PS5 demo does not have these issues, stable smooth framerate and no frames missing when crouching.
How dare you forget about Hard Corps Uprising! best contra game by far!
Really missing uprising's ability to lock your aim here. Didn't expect uprising's reflects, vaults, tackles etc to come back but locking aim so I can shoot in one direction while moving in another I thought would be an obvious inclusion given how much was borrowed from previous games.
I've played just now on the PC, the framerate didn't drop, looks a little bit cheap though and is pretty expensive(40 bucks I think).
I downloaded the demo while watching this, and played through the story mode and didn’t experience these problems only 1 hiccup. I was thinking did they patch the demo?? Then after beating it went over to arcade and bam all the problems. Weird how story mode runs mostly fine and arcade doesn’t of the exact same level
Hit down and do it loudly enough that the button press is audible and then look at the screen whilst doing so. What you’re seeing is input lag
Thank you for the Nintendo news on your Nintendo channel.
DUDE you watch rgt too?! Haha
no not to harsh. It is not a good contra game on the switch... the frame rate interrupts with the gameplay way too much. The jumping is delayed. The double jump is fine though... don't know but this demo was not a good first impression! It made me play the old nes ones! This Contra does not hold a candle to Contra and Super Contra. I guess Wayforward does also use the unitiy engine for this game. Ah well.. lets just hope that it is an really early demo...
Unity is not the problem. It how they use Unity. Ori used Unity and run great and was a lot more detailed imo
You could see from the very 1st trailer that this was gonna be crap, the only thing that was giving me hope was the wayforward name slapped on it. It looks like a port of the Chinese mobile version of contra
RGT85 are you doing a video on battlefront
Looks rough compared to something like Metroid. It is NOT a high spec game.
I played through the demo on the PS4, and the hiccups and freezes are sadly there as well.
They only show up in STORY MODE, but during the vertical climb, I can count 4-5 times I would start a jump and the whole game would hiccup/freeze and I'd end up dead since the jump was off.
I got the PS5 version yesterday. None of the frame rate issues on there (patched or cuz the 5, I dunno). Controls are a little twitchy but I'm getting used to it. I don't remember if the PS5 version is "missing frames".
I'm on switch and it's 30 fps with dips 😢
You should of downloaded pepper grinder demo instead lol
It runs great on my old launch edition PS4. I noticed you can aim diagnal with the axis stck and pinpoint your target without having to move the character. It makes it easier to aim while climbing walls. I didn't notice any frame drop on the PS4.
you can do that on the contra games starting from Contra 3 as well, hold the L button or R button, can't remember which one.
I played the demo on PS5 and I thought it was pretty alright. I was gonna pick it up on switch, but if it has performance issues ill just get it on PS5. Limited run is doing a physical copy so thats nice. They have done a lot of konami games recently.
Just buy the Contra Collection.
Do damn choppy on the switch 🫤
