Contra (video game series): Difference between revisions

** In Japan, ''Operation C'' is known as ''[[Recycled Title|Contra]]'' (although spelled in katakana instead of the kanji used in the arcade and Famicom versions), ''Contra III: The Alien Wars'' is known as ''Contra Spirits'', ''Contra: Hard Corps'' is known as ''Contra: '''The''' Hard Corps'', ''Contra: Shattered Soldier'' is known as ''Shin Contra'', ''Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX'' is known as ''Contra: Hard Spirits'', and ''Contra 4'' is known as ''Contra: Dual Spirits''. ''Super Contra'' was shortened to ''Super C'' on the American NES, even though the arcade version kept its full title for its western release. ''Contra Force'' would've been known in Japan as ''Arc Hound'' had the Famicom version actually been released.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Brad Fang, the wolfman in ''Contra: Hard Corps''.

* [[Mission Pack Sequel]]: The NES version of ''Super C'' is this to the original ''Contra'', while ''Neo Contra'' runs on a modified ''Shattered Soldier'' engine.

* [[Mooks]]: The recurring running grunts from the original game.
