Contra III: The Alien Wars (Super Nintendo) is a hard-core action game and a GREAT followup to Contra and Super C!
If I could travel back in time I'd go back to when I was playing Contra (NES) and Super C (NES). All I can say is thank goodness for the Nintendo Wii and the Virtual Console because all this is possible now. Contra ... Read Full Review

A fun challenging game that needs to be played with a friend, but short campaign.
This game was challenging, but with a friend it is fun and I don't think its worth playing alone. One aspect of the game that I loved was that there were so many boss fights that are varied and different and keep things ... Read Full Review

The pinnacle of the Contra series.
Aliens are a pesky lot. Whenever they make an appearance in the sky in one of those huge space ships, odds are pretty good they aren't the type of aliens that "come in peace." When creatures from an unknown world show up... Read Full Review

If you love adrenaline and being lazy at the same time, then this game is for you...a pure rush.
Up until now, I have only really played the first Contra on the NES, and I absolutely loved that game. It was an easy decision for me to spend 800 Wii points on this SNES debut, and I have zero regrets. I enjoy... Read Full Review

Contra 3 a Classic game. Great Graphics for time it was made. Fun Gameplay. But Very Difficult.
Story non exsistant, but decent enough considering the time it was made- The stories on SNES were basically nonexistent. Once you beat the game it simply bumbs you up to an even harder difficulty, and the game starts ov... Read Full Review
