Okay, so I bought GBA Contra Advance today.

I just played it not long ago and I have few things to say:

1) Where the fuck is the Intro? If Capcom can squeeze entire SNES Ghouls'n Ghosts (even intro is a bit different from the original SNES version)and port it to GBA, why can't Konami?
Fuckin lazy Konami...... :mad:

2) I miss the Bomb....... :(

3) When level two boss stops the train at the end of level, it reminds me of boss from Ninja Combat ;)

4) Audio is a bit weak, not as good as SNES version

5) Difficulty level is perfect :)

I also have this game, and I noticed that it has no intro as well, I don't know the reasons why..

Well you can expect the sound not to be so good since it is on handheld.

No intro??? What the hell? The regular gamboy version had the intro. By the way the balck and white gameboy version was a really good port or at least as it can be.

They took out "Let's attack aggressively"? That's one of the best videogame lines ever. It's right up there with "A winner is you" and "All creature will die and all the things will be broken..."!

Truly, a sad day for Konami...

You'd think they could release it as it originally came out. I can only hope that they come out with Hard Corps, as that one was another great game in the series.

two levels you will need to unlock........

SNES + Genesis Contra - Intro - 2 overhead levels + 2 unlocked levels = GBA contra

Are you saying that the game has more than 2 levels from Hard Corps?

Liquid I tried to like this but in the end I returned it. It's really not that great a port even with the "additions." There's no exscuse for an exact port of the SNES game to not be on there with the same controls (either as the game or as one of multiple versions to choose from). :(

I'd rather they just made up their mind and ported either Hard Corp or Alien War instead of this mix and match stuff.

I love Contra Advance even though I wish Konami can do a better job than this.

Right now I try to find GB version of Contra Alien War....it has complete intro and stuff <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" />

GB Alien War rocks my world. :D Liquid if I'm not mistaken a lot of the cheat codes removed from US SNES version are in it, so you might be able to beat it. ;) <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />
