What I don't get is why Konami again skipped the 1st Contra. They didn't do that to Castlevania and Gradius on the Virtual Console service over the years, even today. I mean, how is that fair?

  • It isn't really. What's more, unless something changes we may not get any more Contra games. Wii only had Super and 3, plus Contra Rebirth.

  • I can't understand why the original Contra hasn't been released either.

  • There can't be anything obscene that's keeping it out. I mean sure, Bill Rizer has a small blue cigar in his teeth at the title screen, but no big deal. A simple edit and Konami can call it a day.

  • It's not that. It's the fact that the Japanese version used a special chip Konami no longer owns. That's why the Japanese version can't be released. But the classic NA and EU versions are just fine.

  • That's why it was rereleased as part of Contra 4 a while ago.

  • Yeah, which is true...and for the Famicom version of Gradius II as well. Though Contra and Super C are on Contra 4, WayForward at the time relied on PocketNES, and the wireless co-op was disabled ther

  • Presumedly if we got Contra 4 on the Wii U VC, then by default we would get Contra 1. Kind of a sneaky way around it. lol

  • @Connor: Konami no longer owns the VRC2 chip?
