The control and gameplay on the NES was so tight. The arcade feels a little fuzzy.

Just imagine what Konami & SNK could of created in the dungeon laboratory for the Neo Geo AES version of this game if they wanted to back in 1990. These are the things I've always dreamed about and still do to this day but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the NES counterparts, we all did because we had no other choices. My favorite home port has to be Contra Hard Corps. Now this is the perfect prototype game to build off of if they were to ever have made the game for the Neo for sure👍😎👌

Better graphics with arcade but classic memories with NES. Thanks for sharing!

Oddly enough, the NES version looks like a recent indie game :D

I like the moving tree animations (which were dead on both the NES and arcade versions) in the Famicom version.

This is one of those rare moments where I actually prefer the console version.

Arcade version has nicer graphics, but the NES version feels more refined in terms of gameplay. The arcade one has a weird slow-moving direction aiming feature which makes it kind of annoying to shoot stuff while the NES one's pretty much instant. Not to mention the few added bosses and stuff. Normally I'd side with the arcade version in most cases, but in this case I prefer the NES one.

Duracion total del juego: Arcade: 10 min aprox. Famicom version: 20 min aprox.

Muito bom o vídeo! Parabéns!

This is one of those games, where despite running on inferior hardware, the NES port is just a better game.

Overall, the NES game is the best version. However, I will say this: The Jungle, Maze, Energy Zone, and Maze Boss tracks are way better in their original respective pitches.

I miss that game so much, since 90'S, such memories to me,,😣

Somehow the arcade graphics don't appeal to me

They're both awesome

when the arcade powerhouse gets its 16-bit ass kicked by a humble 8-bit home system

Arcade till I die.. Still love the nes version tho... but the arcade version set it off for me.

arcade definitely I love the vertical screen great for bosses

*NES is better than the Arcade and 2 player amazingly!* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

for the first stage the arcade version has better graphics but the colors look washed out, the NES is more appealing with the animated leaves as a plus. pretty cool how the arcade has a mini map for the 2nd stage. the arcade version blows the NES version for that part of the game.

Contra e Super Contra no Nes, muito bom.

Arcade tem melhores gráficos e som porém a jogabilidade do Nes é melhor, as animações parecem mais fluídas. Prefiro a versão de Nes!

Que recuerdos :,D

I def didn't have that version of contra in the USA

NES by far, but the Arcade's OST is better for me.

Arcade is the superior version, but i have so many memories in the NES version. So if i'll pick one, i'll go for the NES version.

Arcade> Graphic, Sound, bgm nes>gameplay, designed platform

I've never owned a NES, but I must say... Yeah, the arcade version has better defined graphics, more colors, etc. But I like NES style more. By a lot.

Contra theme key: Arcade: D minor-A minor-E minor NES: F minor-C minor-G minor

n sabia da existência de um contra arcade..

NES in my opinion. Graphics don't make a game better, this is why (for example) i'm still playing PSX /SAT/N64 games instead of playing games of the actual generations. Always the gameplay matters. Still if the arcade version looks better i like more the Famicom/NES port and the pseudo 3D parts looks really impressive for a 8-bit machine. Also this game was the infancy of much persons (including me).

Nes for the win!

As an Asian, all we think Famicom is better than NES

Both are great, but the winner is the arcade version of Contra😀😀👍🏼👍🏼🎮🎮

I feel like the arcade version is shorter and harder (as most arcades), and the aspect ratio makes for a more frustrating side-scroller experience. NES is better. However the best version is the one on Famicom with the extra effects, sounds, cutscenes and map between missions.

ARCADE FOREVER¡¡

Arcade version is more punchy for me and more fun!!

nes, e o código das vidas extras...muito show!

... so NES USA version was trimmed. They removed all intros and stage animations.

leve no nes is more big but in arcade grafics is more beautiful

La versión de NES me gusta más.

Yeah the Arcade version do have a fancy graphics, sound, BGM, etc but the NES version still holds a special place in my heart. Either way, Contra is of the most iconic game of all time 👍🏻

Arcade beats it by far but the nes version has really good music

Nes just fits better

Arcade has better graphics but the NES version is a better game due to gameplay.

Arcade 1000%

I don't know why, but I really hate the gun sounds in the arcade version. Sounds to Sci Fi to me while the NES has one has those crisp real gun like sounds.

Nes is better, cadê a enquete ?

Nes

Arcade wins

Arcade is the source, while Famicom and especially the beta developed NES versions are pretty much like any overrated and annoying secondary characters that steal the spotlight.

Nintendo Ganha :)

NES 👌🏻😎

the arcade version sucks, nes version will be always the best version of contra

nes.

NES >arcade

I’m not gonna lie the arcade contra has the ugliest jump animation I ever seen

The nes version is by far the best and anyone who says different should have their mother slapped and be put on a billboard as an example of why the day after pill should be legal

Nes - WINS!!

Arcade all day every day, but the Nintendo apologists squad will say the nes version.

NES is better.
