ALL Bosses Comparison - Contra Remake vs Original

First contra was scary, actually. It has some creepy alien vibes.

And to this day, people still don't pick up the laser :D

prefer the art direction of the original tbh...one of the best gaming memories was first time playing Contra on the SNES on co op killing the 2 robots, then the footsteps start, the awesome soundtrack kicks in, then Big Fuzz comes through the wall...great stuff. 👌

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.

After watching this, I have a newfound appreciation for Contra 4.

Super Nes will always have the best music

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.

The combination among episodes is so attractive that I can’t wait to buy one.

Real nice comparison - thanks!

Looks great. As someone who's loved Contra for over 3 decades this new project looks fantastic.👍

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.

The soundtrack of the bosses against 3 are very good, they give you adrenaline and that suspense as if something bad is coming.

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.

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)

Absolutely awesome video!

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.

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.

I like how you timed the demise of each boss with one another.

I don't know, the original graphics looks more interesting, it has it's own character to it.
