Super C for NES is on 3DS/Wii/Wii U VC. It's good!

Contra 3 for SNES is on Wii/Wii U/New 3DS VC. It's better!

Contra 3 EX for GBA is on Wii U VC. It sucks, don't buy it.

Contra Rebirth is an original game released on WiiWare. It's short and low-budget but fun and entertainingly stupid.

Oh I didnt know they made a Contra Rebirth too, Ive only ever played CV Rebirth

Yeah, Contra Hard Corps. It's also very good but it's never been re-released. (Contra 3 EX for GBA is a lovely mashup of Contra 3 and Hard Corps that ruins both games.)

The Mario Kart 8 DLC gold coin reward is pretty cool, and I'm going to grab it. Other than that, those are some crappy rewards again.

The Contra 3 music is good but about as subtle as being shot in the face.

Only SNES soundtracks better than CV 4 are Chrono Trigger and maybe FF 6.

You're right but Contra 3 is not a subtle game so it works.

In Training posted:

Contra Rebirth is pretty great because it goes even further than 3 with the crazy bosses and situations. For instance, the first boss is a giant space parasite worm that you fight while hopping between chunks of the space station that it destroyed while you were in it as the wreckage burns up in Earth's atmosphere as it falls.

Contra 4 also did a good job with that sort of crazy poo poo.

edit: essentially any game where levels can be described like a little kid trying to improvise is good. ("so you're on a motorcycle and an alien ship flies over so you fight the alien ship and then a helicopter picks you up but a robot ninja attacks you while you hang on to a missile on the helicopter and then the helicopter fires the missile at the alien ship and you have to hop between missiles being fired at the alien ship while you shoot at it and then the alien ship explodes and the helicopter comes back to pick you up before you fall")

It's gonna be the Wii version. They'd have to put in a shitload of work to excise the Motion Plus controls otherwise if it was going to be another HD version (can't guarantee everyone has Wiimotes, you see).

The other Pokemon stuff was that there are new regional Pokemon variants, and also you can do some special attacks with crystals or something. Also if you buy the game before January something-th you can get a free unevolved Snorlax. Eatlax? Whatever it's called, I dunno. I don't do Pokemon.

Oh and the 3DS XL comes out a week before the game, and doesn't include the game. The 2DS bundle includes the game.
