    When I saw they use "Cal Art" style for the Battletoads and turned the Dark Queen into "That", I knew the game gonna be turd. It is obvious that the dev was more interested in appeasing a certain population than actually making the game.

    Re: good Contra games, it's ten years old now but so many people completely missed it. Hard Corps: Uprising on PS3/360 is amazing. I don't know why they didn't put the Contra name on it, and I'm disappointed that it hasn't been ported to newer consoles. (Though I guess the XBOX crowd has compatibility!)

    No death is viable with the right weapon, no power-ups is still viable (the normal gun is good enough to deal with the entire game as long as you don't button mash all the time, but do it at a good pace without overdoing it unless REALLY needed), but one that is not very viable is with the Flame Shot (in this game it just sucks, and you really need to stay on your toes with the Flame if you give it a try because of how slow the proyectile is).
