I adore the SNES and love Contra and Super C, so Contra III should be my jam. But for some reason, it's never really clicked with me. I finally spent a week grinding away at it and while I don't think it's as good as its 8-bit counterparts, I have to admit, it won me over.

Contra is gaming done right. Run, shoot, jump. My love of the NES games comes from their snare drum tight controls and tough-but-fair challenge. the SNES entry improves on a lot of the aspects of Contra & Super C: better weapons, level variety, obviously the graphics. I may not like the gameplay as much as the older games, but I can't deny that it levels up in a lot of aspects. And it's still tough as fuck, which I love.

My boy Tyler hops back on the show this week. Contra III is his preferred flavour of Contra, and while we may have disagreed on where the series peaked, we come together to show this game some love and talk about the good, the bad, and the bullshit (level 5) of Contra III.

And before we run 'n gun, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if gaming is stuck in a remaster loop? What console still needs a mini version? And is it wrong to start your kid out with retro games instead of modern stuff?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3. great retro run 'n guns: Metal Slug 3, Gunstar Heroes, and Sunset Riders.
