This new Contra game combines elements from Contra 1, Contra 2 (Super C), and Contra 3 (Alien Wars), and I absolutely adore it. In the past, I found the Stage 1 Boss in Contra 1 to be too simple, but now they've crafted a fusion of the two mini-fortresses from Contra 1 and the third boss's mini-fortress from Contra 2. Now it looks more like a boss.
It's already out and the game is great. Unfortunately only 8 stages, like most of the Contra games. But there plenty of option to play with (perks, few difficulties, local co-op up to 4 players but without online multiplayer). Maybe you want to wait for sale, but definetely worth playing.
Hello game designers for Contra Operation Galuga, I think you did a great job at recreating the essence of the original game, which is something that is not easy to do with most remakes, because a lot of the times, developers make too many changes that make the game feel different. Then, there are times when developers need to add new ideas, but the ideas need to look and sound as if they are extensions of the originals. This isn't an easy task, but I think you did well here. One thing I noticed at around 9:09 of this video clip, the cave level - the tunnel looks like it could be further developed to be a part of an entire level and still look and feel as part of the original.
@@dvdbox360I don't know the game developers' RUclips channel, but I'm sure they frequent many of the fans channel and read comments, like these here :).
I hear you. I am one of the developers. I appreciate you saying so. Personally, I am a major fan of Contra, and I own and play them to this day. I own NES copies of Contra and Super C, and Contra III for SFC and I even own a copy of Contra for Famicom. I grew up as a child with Contra, and it was important to me to try to recreate the feeling that the game gave to me when I was a kid and since. But believe me, it is VERY hard to do that, and I didn't always succeed. But, I can tell you, I sincerely cared to try to bring Contra's feel and spirit and design back. I care a great deal for the games.
for me nothing will beat the originals. Good try on the new contra but it still does not come close to the level of excitement this game brought back in the early 90's
Anyone who loved Contra and then claims to dislike this you must be kidding. This was like a love letter to the series and they incorporated 3d without taking away from what mad Contra great
I was looking for this comment and didn't have to look far. The SNES Contra has one of my favourite soundtracks ever. It's also my favourite Contra, though of course I recognise the merits in the other classics.
Love how they leaned into the Aliens references in Contra. Character names Lance Bean (Lance Henriksen x Michael Biehn) and Bill Rizer (Bill Paxton x Paul Reiser)
It was meant to be an Alien game from the start. But the 20th Century Fox wouldn't strike a reasonable deal, so Konami rebranded it a little and made their own franchise. The same way as StarCraft was meant to be a Warhammer 40.000 game.
Bosses from Previously Contra games Stage 1 Boss - Entrance Security from Super C at Stage 3 Stage 3 Mini Boss - Guldaf from Contra NES at Stage 5 Stage 3 Boss - Gromaides from Contra NES at Stage 3 Stage 4 Mini Boss - Spidal from Super C at Stage 3 Stage 4 Boss - Gomeramos King from Contra NES at Stage 8 Stage 5 Mini Boss - Gordea from Contra NES at Stage 6 Stage 5 Boss - Crustacean Cruiser from Contra 4 at Stage 7 Stage 6 Boss - Big Fuzz from Contra 3 The Alien Wars at Stage 3 Stage 7 Mini Boss - Victious Slave Hawk from Contra 3 The Alien Wars at Stage 6 Stage 7 Boss - Shadow Beast Kimkoh from Super C at Stage 8 Stage 8 Final Boss - Emperor Demon Gava from Contra 3 The Alien Wars at Stage 6
The first boss in Operation Galuga is a fusion of the original Contra mini-fortress and the third boss mini-fortress from Super C. Overall, Operation Galuga takes elements from Contra, Super C, The Alien Wars, and Contra Rebirth.
The last boss is actually inaccurate. Contra Galugas last boss, when its attacking the ship you see it from its profile. He looks exactly like “ Java “ from the first NES game. This is Red Falcon. The “ mother alien “ as you know is called “ Gava “. She didnt appear untill the second coming. Super C. Her lineage is Black Viper. Contra Wars was both lineages attacking Earth in a united front. Both Gava & Java are equals to their own Kindred. They are two entirely different beings / DNA strands, but of the same world and cause. It is implied Both Red Falcon & Black Viper are bio weapons of the actual aliens attacking us as reviled in shattered soldier. I understand that this is a reboot, but it does take reference directly from the old games. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see the actual mother alien Gava in the next game.
I like it when they take each boss from the previous Contra and upgrade them into another level. Now not only they look more gorgeous, but also more dangerous.
@@jerseygamingtv3537 no, almenos como cambio de estilo, lo hicieron con el tomb raider trilogy 1,2 y 3 puedes cambiarlo al estilo clasico o al remasterizado, aunque seria mucho pedir pero recompensaria el muy pocos niveles y juego tan corto.
Played this on the SNES but mine was Super Probotector - Alien Rebels. It was so badass back then. Members come over to my house and we play in turns from morning to noon in the weekends. It was wicked.
in classic contra, you have to destroy both hands of Gromaides to make the fight easier. But in Operation Galuga, destroying Gromaides' hands made the fight even more difficult.
@arachosia I think this version was meant more as a remake of some of that original stuff. It should've been marketed like that, and with a lower price point. Personally I really like it, especially the newer spin on some of the bosses (e.g. Gordea at 4:25 onwards). Will be replaying it once in a while..
Nice and ok as this was a reboot. I just hope the next Contra game will have more original stuff. It’s ok to mix in some more from contra 3/4/ Hard corps. But I want to be surprised and getting “wow” again. And only new things really do that to me
As much as I like Contra 1, Super C, Contra 3, 4, Rebirth and Operation Galuga as much I don't like Contra: Hard Corps. It's too fast, too chaotic and it's soundtrack is some kind of "cat's music" based on "meow meow" sounds :D (melodies are fine, but sounds aren't...). But true, Operation Galuga has some references to Contra: Hard Corps, for example Fang is in the game.
Up,up/down,down/left,right/left,right/ B,A / start. That was what came to me like a knee/jerk reaction at the start of this video. Thank you for this video.
5:10 Boss in Operation Galuga has named as Devil Worm. But yes, this is similarly to Crustacean Cruiser. 8:17 This boss is called as Metal Alien. 10:23 Final boss in Operation Galuga is not Emperor Demon Gava - it's Dragon God Java, but it gets similar abilities and Searle-themed brain. P.S.: And yeah, you skip miniboss from Operation Galuga Level 2 - Armored Truck aka Dogra. Dogra is miniboss in Level 5 from original Contra.
wow! a pretty decent remake. I have played all the original Contra games as they came out. nothing and nothing is better than the original. sadly this is just a remake, Graphically niceer but not really better. Too much explosion, smoke and fx, the player dont stand out and gets lost in the background. even the boss sometimes gets lost in the background and sometimes I dont understand what im looking at. The 8bit and 16 bit system had lots of impossible limitations and still acomplished lightning in a bottle. modern game design is arguably more simple with game engines, this remake is riding on the shoulder of giants as most game and movie remakes are. But i still enjoyed watching the video and thanks for sharing and uploading. 😅
Wait a minute, which system is the original Contra from? Because that spinning shooter was not after the defense wall on stage 1 on the NES. You killed the guy at the top, broke the two cannons, then broke the generator at the bottom, and that was it, on to stage 2.
Sí, pero la versión de NES, al menos la que tengo, no tiene la segunda forma del jefe en la etapa 1, y la versión arcade en los EE. UU., al menos, se ve completamente diferente en comparación con la NES.
I personally enjoyed those surely unlicensed references to Aliens and The Terminator in the original game. The new game also feels decent, but it's a different game now.
New version = modern tech, professional 3D artists, but lacking good art direction Originals = talented pixel artists making the most of the hardware, solid art direction
Try playing the new one. I understand the art style may have been better not looking like a mobile game, but the gameplay is pretty fun. Great game overall
Oddly enough the vicious slave hawk was in super contra... arcade version lvl 4....had the long tongue, swoop attack....but I think alien wars wanted to use this guy...with additional teleportation
I will get Galuga, but nothing compares to Pixel art from the originals. Galuga looks a blast, and unfortunately us diehard Contra fans have got to take what we can.
The final boss on the remake looks so much alike as the villain from the USA comic Spawn, Voraloid or something... I forgot its name, it was over 20 years ago since that when it got cancelled in my country because of poor sales.
I can still remember being about 11 and every one of my friends had Contra and Ikari warriors and friday nigh, kicking off the weekend, was pizza hut and co-op shooters. Konami could not make a bad game back then. Ikari Warriors, not a konami game, was a lot better when we found the infinite life "a,b,b,a" code and it felt like a real accomplishment powering through to the end
i love remakes cause you get to see what they was really trying to do with the limitations they had... Final Fantasy remake is also a great example of that... and.... holy sh***t this game actually looks fun to play! 🤔
The style is way better in the old games. As an example, just look at the SNES Contra on the animation of the boss when he disappears from 8:45, and compare that to the one on the right.
Emperor Demon Gava here feels more like Black Viper, like going through his body to get to the head/brain. The spiked car boss in stage 2 is probably based on the similar-looking enemy/mid-boss from Contra 1's snow field stage. Crustacean Crawler coming out of the train reminds me of the train boss from Rogue Corp.

When I first saw this game, I wasn't sold on the presentation. Hell, I'm still not. However, it's very clear that the devs care deeply about the franchise and want to do it justice, which I can wholly appreciate. I'm going to wait for a sale then get involved. It's a similar situation to Metroid - we don't _need_ series definiting masterpieces for either franchise (though that would obviously be amazing), just modern titles that are damn _good enough_ and don't stray so far from their roots. At least that's how I see it in these two cases.
7:09 man, what ... Did Contra inspired some games or take inspiration of them? Because this skeleton bosses are pretty similar to the skeletons bosses in Goof Troop! AND the machine with four balls making circles is basically the same as the one in War if the Gems, secondary boss in stage 5, before fighting Magus.

First contra was scary, actually. It has some creepy alien vibes.
Especially when we were kids

it gave us a warning that aliens are here and taking control of our world...look at what we are having many years later...
@@jackylee5850 Yes ,unfortunatly the remake distance it from ther Alien Franchise. The original enemies ware pretty much the aliens from Ridley S. , those here are something they invented.

Yeah, it is way better.
Exactaly this stage IS ALL amazing... IS the Best stage from abt contra games...
Yh they kinda pennywised it.

Some NES bosses are kind of weak. It doesn't take a 4 year old me many try to exploit.
And from the ending, it seems we may get Alien Wars or Hard Corps additional story DLC someday.

There is also the worm boss from Contra 4 (for the DS)
The first boss was a nice surprise when I watched the boss fight for the first time.
Looks great. As someone who's loved Contra for over 3 decades this new project looks fantastic.👍

But in Operation Galuga, destroying Gromaides' hands made the fight even more difficult.

Really good work for the crustacean cruiser. Im assuming thats contra III on the snes to the left for that particular boss?
This game was pure action. Loved it
I love the laser. It cuts through weaker enemies and its damage output against armored one is brutal.
Laser almost in every Contra have I highest damage
8:17 Metal Alien's first appearence was in Super Contra (arcade)
10:23 Even though the fight plays the same way, this is not Gava, this is Java
I will get Galuga, but nothing compares to Pixel art from the originals. Galuga looks a blast, and unfortunately us diehard Contra fans have got to take what we can.
Good remake for what it’s worth but some things can never be replaced. Original all the way.
Wasn't the Gordea fight inspired by the sniper chase from Contra Hard Corps?
Really awesome, but the Big Terminator reveal after beating the 2 small ones just had more dramatic oomph to it than the newer version.
Drawing from the Alien Franchise ,Terminator , even a wrestler.Music iand sound effects. awesome in the original.Scary.

Final Fantasy remake is also a great example of that... and....
holy sh***t this game actually looks fun to play! 🤔
Thank you very much
You did a good job with these edits, how long did it take you ?
but does the code still work?

The style is way better in the old games. As an example, just look at the SNES Contra on the animation of the boss when he disappears from 8:45, and compare that to the one on the right.
This is what we want and actual contra not 3rd person not from above camera the actual 2d run and hope they more of like this awsome
Emperor Demon Gava here feels more like Black Viper, like going through his body to get to the head/brain.

Historically, I've thought and called Gava the "Ground Beef Brain Boss."

7:09 man, what ... Did Contra inspired some games or take inspiration of them? Because this skeleton bosses are pretty similar to the skeletons bosses in Goof Troop! AND the machine with four balls making circles is basically the same as the one in War if the Gems, secondary boss in stage 5, before fighting Magus.
Shadow beast Kimkoh is also a little spooky. Very Rob Bottin of the Thing.
The chinese made Galigula right?
Good comparison vidclip
Fun fact, Wayforward made Contra 4, so Wayforward is basically referencing one of their own games, when they reference Contra 4.
