It's a cover of the Jungle theme from Super Contra!
This is 1 of 2 tunes commissioned by @wayforward & Konami for their latest Contra: Operation Galuga game (Thanks for the opportunity guys!!)

If you enter the Konami code in the new game, you unlock Shantae as a playable character.

SEVERAL good looking things coming to (and already on) Switch that Nintendo showed in their Direct yesterday. Contra: Operation Galuga, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Another Crab's Treasure, Penny's Big Breakaway, and most importantly (for me), POCKET CARD JOCKEY is NOW on Switch in the form of Ride On! 🤯 (See the 2nd link below for the full Direct with all the games.)

I LOVE PCJ on 3DS. My friend on Twitter got me hooked on it. So cool that more people will get to play this new Switch version since the 3DS store shut down and you can't grab that one anymore. It's a super weird concept, you play solitaire to race horses. It's addictive and amazing.

I don't draw much but I've been doing it for a few years now and I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out so !

Some new stuff from the new Battle Stormer Classics build: Minotaur boss was nerfed a bit and now the candles on his stage will lit once he reached a low health state :)

How about some Castlevania vs Contra in Battle Stormer Classics?
Eric got a new weapon (Giant axe) by the way.

I like how Iron Man drops Cap in the middle of the chaos and walks away. Looks like someone hasn't gotten over the Civil War yet, lol.

Have you ever actually beaten ?

If so (or even if not 🤷‍♂️), recently catalogued this rare novel.

It was published by Konami back in 1988, and follows an original story with characters Bill and Lance.

It's that time again! Time for me to show you an arcade game and one of its home ports complete with commentary full of information you may or may not care about!

Today's video compares the arcade and NES versions of Super Contra / Super C. It's one of my all time favorite arcade games and the NES port is pretty good, too.

Check out a full game comparison here:

A little different from the typical fare in , but I absolutely love these Hand-Drawn Game Guides from the incredibly talented Philip Summers.

I've finally sat down to finish the first game.

Yes, I didn't have an NES when I was young and no, even nowadays I don't own a copy of the original. Nowadays I'm sticking to such ways like the .
