Operation C was one of my favorite Gameboy games. Set your controller down and come back in a few minutes to get a lot of lives (your lives max out when they get to 29). Wow! At the title screen, quickly press: Right, Right-Down, Right and X. @akennelley1 While I don’t agree that Simon’s Quest is terrible, I think you’re being a bit harsh there. This was my fave coin-op for months after it's release. Sorta Hoping that they do a goemon collection for Japan.

Well, it’s time to figure out what this mysterious symbol pattern means and how it can be used.

@Jbuggydroid Yeah, it's not the worst thing ever...no reason not to get the game/play with the NES controllers, but man, it's annoying.

Just remember to turn it off when you’re trying to put in the Konami code in Contra, otherwise it’ll count the B button more than once and you’ll wonder (like we did) why it isn’t working. PS3 got the collection!

Definitely on my Wish List, but I have one very important question: do these games include the Konami Code??? 5 or so years ago I got all 7 endings. My rating would be "7".

Add Contra Rebirth to that as a free update and I'm buying ! This one is on my radar. It also has one of the best renditions of the Contra theme you'll hear anywhere. After you beat the game, the credits roll by and you start over with the remaining lives you had.

This is for the japanese version only. On the Title Screen, hold down A+B then Press Start. Contra hard corps is just too difficult I’m sure it’s a great game but it’s ridiculous I like a challenge contra 3 is quite difficult but at least I’ve managed to complete it and seen all it has to offer I feel like I’m missing out at least if the jap version was there I would stand a better chance plus cheat codes are only usable on the jap version.

I barely played Contra back in the day, so they aren't really nostalgic for me. Go though the game and don't go after dead eye joe, Fight to the end and not surrender, and when you get to the end of the 2nd to last level choose these: Before battle with the zodiac boss, climb up the wall and talk to the weird guy. You should hear the player dieing sound effect if done correctly. I'd wait for the Japanese version for the luxury of being able to take three hits per life. If done correctly you should see the stage select screen. Konami has already stated that they’re coming in a free update: while it isn’t a dealbreaker by any means, most of the cheat codes that give extra lives are only present in the Japanese versions of each game.

If done correctly, you will receive a message from Red Falcon, vowing his revenge. The cheat sequence survived several console generations, and still works in more than 100 Konami games. Just put them all out there on Nintendo Switch, won’t you, Konami?! Let’s unveil the mystery – this code is a cheat sequence that can be utilized on most Konami games (hence the name), as well as some other projects. I’m dying to play 2 again! @akennelley1 Castlevania 2 has all the content of a great game, but ruins the experience with unclear NES-era cryptic explanations of things you may or may not need to do to progress. Has M2 ever released anything that didn't run perfectly at 60fps? It should have been the same price as the other collection which actually had more games. Detana TwinBee Yahho!
