why do we hate Contra Force again? It's fun and there are lots of weapons to use

you weren't FILTERED, right anon?

The top down stages are okay but the sidescrollers are crap. Okay, even if you give a pass to the glitches, even if you use overclocking to nullify the insane lag, the gameplay is still crap and you can just keep jumping on a loop to remain invincible.

>the gameplay is still crap
I disagree
>and you can just keep jumping on a loop to remain invincible.
if you get enough toolboxes to earn the jump armour. Nobody is forcing you to use the jump glitch

>>11850467
I'm not even talking about the glitch. You're still basically invicible 24/7 without it. The idea is stupid, it would only work if was much much harder to get this power up or if it was limited in time.

>You're still basically invicible 24/7 without it.
youre definitely not, I've been shot while falling from a jump many times
> it would only work if was much much harder to get this power up
its the very last powerup on your options bar

Its a game that was so poorly coded it couldn't even run at half speed like most NES games, this one might be the slowest of all among that Armadillo game.

It literally can only be played on emulators with overclocking.

There's a reason why the game's japanese release got canned.

ok, so do that. whats the problem?

The completely reverse scenario might be closer to the truth: game sucks BECAUSE it got canned in Japan.
Analyzing bank switching patterns during slowdown in Contra Force shows behavior which could be easily fixed by running the game on Konami's VRC6 mapper. VRC6 can be easily swapped for Nintendo's MMC5 mapper with some reprogramming, as seen in Akumajou Densetsu and Castlevania III. Contra Force, on the other hand, uses cheaper MMC3 mapper which causes NES to waste a lot of CPU time to get everything in place when action happens on screen. Presumably, if Arc Hound got released in Japan with VRC6 inside, then it could be then ported to NES with MMC5, but instead the game got cancelled and the international version was built from scraps on the cheapest hardware possible to regain some lost funds.

>>11850517
That... makes sense.

>>11850524
>>11850517
Yeah, fair enough, I suppose MMC3 still have games slowdowns.

>>11850458 (OP)
>why do we
Immediately declaring yourself a reddit trash thread, so why even waste the fucking catalog space.

>>11850939
every time theres a contra thread on /vr/, force is never mentioned at all

I enjoy it. Kinda reminds me of Metal Slug ported to nes.

>>11851210
my thought as well

>>11850458 (OP)
Contra Force and TMNT 3 are pretty cute games who totally hold their ground against the contemporary snes releses counterparts at the time
i only wish they got released on pal region as well but i guess it was already too late by the time they'd localize this shit as we were already in the snes era
again i don't know if i'm the only one or a minority i guess but i feel like i prefer nes to snes counterparts most of the times
i'd say the same with smb3 and mario world
i don't know about hate but i'm autist when i'm seeing dithering
defeat da dithering thank you

>>11851204
Gee, I wonder why.

>>11851589
skill issue? because /vr/ cant wrap their head around the powerup system? because /vr/ doesnt play video games? all of the above?

infidelity (the guy who ported a lot of NES games to SNES) wants to port Contra Force to SNES, so maybe we will have a convenient version of the game without slowdown soon.

>>11852365
neat

>>11852365
It's so fucking over for the NES when even NES romhacking has to be done on SNES now
