Another less-popular-than-the-original Konami NES sequel is on the way to the Virtual Console. This time, it's Super C, the sequel to the beloved Contra. Super C features Bill Rizer and Lance Bean doing what they do best: picking up weapons that fall out of blimps, and shooting alien after alien in as shirtless a manner as they possibly can. It's not as good as the original, but that's like saying that peanut butter cookies aren't as good as peanut butter cookies with little toffee chips in them: both are completely delightful.With Contra III: The Alien Wars having been out for a while and this on the way, it appears that Konami is working backwards. Please let that be true, Konami. Put Contra on the Virtual Console soon. Don't try to slip Contra Force in there.

I liked Contra Force. It was the only Contra game I had, and it was fun. And you could totally fly over the whole level by double-jumping, then pausing and unpausing, air-jumping again, and repeating until you reach a boss.
Plus, that was the first time I ever saw partner AI - you could even choose how your AI partner would act! It was the coolest thing ever!
