Unfortunately, not only is Rogue Corps not like classic Contra, in some regards, it seems to be aggressively antithetical to what you would think Contra is about. ![]() There are several levels Rogue Corps fails on – one of them is that of being a good game, but I would have even taken a poor game if it meant I got some of that spirit of classic Contra. And hey, they had the original creator of the franchise on board, so surely Konami would deliver, right? I didn’t need it to be the best looking or most ambitious game. In fact, the announcement of a new entry in the series made me excited, and even after widespread skepticism following its E3 debut, I was on board with it. I love Contra a lot, and I am reiterating this point to establish that I didn’t set out to hate Rogue Corps. I love Contra so much that when Konami announced their classic collections earlier this year, Contra‘s was the one I was excited for the most. I love Contra so much that to this day, it’s my favorite Konami franchise, yes, over Metal Gear or Silent Hill. I’ve continued to love Contra through the years. ![]() It was extremely difficult, but extremely fun, and the shlocky science fiction setup made it feel like a playable cartoon. One of my earliest gaming memories is of me playing Contra on an old Nintendo, with my brother, or my cousin, or my friends.
