Contra Anniversary Collection3/22/2021
Someone on reddit pointed out that its also got the correct shield effect in contra 3 which is wrong in numerous other versions.All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries.If the emulation is fine, Im definitely gonna get it, but Im leaning heavily towards the Switch port.Contra arcade seems to have an intense amount of slowdown that I dont remember being in the original or DS version that appeared on the Konami Arcade Collection released back then.
Super Contra seems to be missing the voice samples from the intro and the Please continue, announcer when youve lost all remaining lives. A few sound effects in Super C on NES dont seem to be replicated properly. Just in terms of the emulation though, as a lifelong Contra player who tends to be very sensitive to issues with various ports these games have seen over the years, I feel the emulation is fairly solid and feels just fine. On most levels firing with both characters will slow the game to about 13. Watching a mame playthrough doesnt seem to exhibit the same behaviour (it slows down in places but only a little bit). Do you get the same crippling slowdown Contra arcade definitely has loads of slowdown I dont remember being present in the original or other ports of it. Digital Eclipse far and away is the best with DotEmu a solid second. Its seems weird to me that you put DotEmu into the catergory of some of the best developers at porting classic games when they are known in the dedicated retro gaming community as one of the very worst (Irem Arcade Hits for pc, the neo ports on steam to name just a very few which are poorly done by them). Contra Anniversary Collection How To Deliver SolidDigital Eclipse has done some very good things ill give you that, but when people from Digital Eclipse themselves saying and this is a direct quote from a producer at Digital Eclipse They consider M2 to be the industry standard when it comes bringing classic games to modern platforms I think its pretty safe to say and also judging from their immense track record of what theyve accomplished over many years that M2 knows how to deliver solid products, so i dont really understand where this whole M2 is one of the worst devs out there comes from. Contra Anniversary Collection PS4 Version HasThe PS4 version has the same slowdown problem for AC Contra and missing sounds in AC Super Contra. Contra Anniversary Collection Series Among TheirUncharacteristic of M2-their Shot Triggers series among their numerous works has top-notch emulation. It was only recently they even announced this, so M2 may have had to cut their development time. Even so, this is an overall quality package I was glad to support.
