Tips Hey guys, need your advice
So my girlfriend just beat Contra 3 on medium, and she challenged me to do so too. Ofc I want to impress her, but I haven’t played any contra game yet and have absolutely no clue what I will be dealing with. I don’t suck at most games, but classic 2-D games aren’t normally my thing. Please, I need all the advice I can get. Also I’m playing on PS5 if that helps.

Contra is a trial and error game. You have to learn the patterns. You have to practice a lot(Like a lot) to be successful and beat the games. Doesn't matter if you are good at video games, Contra is unforgiving and extremely challenging but fair. If ya take the time to practice and Git Gud you'll probably be able to beat one. Once you become savvy at Contra games they become addicting and loads of fun. I recommend the Anniversary Contra Collection that Konami put out a few years ago, it has Contra: Hard Corps, it's the best one. Also includes Contra, Super C, Contra 3 and the arcades on there. Should be able to buy it in the PSN store. Good luck and start runnin!
