NES Works #074: Contra
Added 2020-11-25 14:00:01 +0000 UTCSo, I'm going a little bit out of order with this one here. This week's episode should be Final Fantasy Legend II, so that the public release of the episode will coincide with the Switch collection's release... but that's a big game! I'm still capturing footage! Contra, on the other hand, I could clear and record in 30 minutes and still have time to capture footage of Probotector and 魂斗羅. So I'm posting this episode here three weeks ahead of its public release, and Final Fantasy Legend II will show up here a week before its public post. I think. I'm not good at math, just talking about old video games. Happy Thanksgiving?
Anyway, Contra! I can't believe this episode ended up being half as long as a full playthrough of the game. I guess there's just a lot to say, huh?

FYI at 14:17 your voiceover of "then play it again in a different" is repeated; might be a mistake?
