Happy New Year all!
Found these deals while looking for Contra game which is part of Nintendo new year sale I think.
Same price posted over a year ago but good for those who missed out or just get a switch like me.
Castlevania link: https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/titles/70010000017485
Yep.. that startup music totally brings back my memories.š
Enjoy!
Megaman collections are also on sale (not quite as cheap).
Any recommendations from people? Are any of them poorly emulated?
The Castlevania and Contra collections were handled by M2, so you can expect the highest quality possible.
Nice. Thanks!
The highest quality possible ? , ok, sold
Anyone know of any stores with discounted eshop cards at the moment?
Jb I think?
Got 10% off at JB yesterday
Also available on Steam "Contra Anniversary Collection" 80% off til 6th January $5 .79
Cheaper on Indiegala store at $4.50ish or Fanatical. Castlevania is even cheaper on both sites too.
Obviously this post is about the Switch version though.
Always use this site before buying anything from Steam.
Was more a comment to let the PC master race know its also on the ultimate gaming system for cheap.
I think I passed contra once, in all my time playing it
I've managed to beat Contra without losing any lives. After playing for hours each day, you end up memorising where/when enemies approach. While the original will always be special, my favourite in the series is definitely Contra: Hard Corps.
I'm still trying to beat Battletoads. I just can't get past the Rat Race level.
30 lives
Up up Down down left right left right B A start

Hold a b and start
Good old Capcom codes.
Not sure if trolling.
The original famicon before NES already used that code prior to sound test
$30 original price for Castlevania is taking the p**s, surely.
It's got eight games.

Castlevania advance collection also available for 25% off
Thanks op, I've wondered about the Castlevania series, good to see Nintendo have a web based store, welcome to 2010 Nintendo.
Is it the same arcade game Contra or modified version?
It is arcade game Contra and bundle so includes those below;
Contra (Arcade)
Super Contra
Contra (NA)
Contra (JP)
Super C
Contra III: The Alien Wars
Operation C

PC version is also on sale.

That's not the same collection, and judging by the reviews it seems to have a number of issues.
Yes, kinda different but it is for PC. I think the original version of this was released in 2002 as a CDROM.
Does anyone know if switch has all the arcade games
bundle like kinda old arcade 900 in 1 which has Super Mario Bros and Icelander , Pac-Man etc..
bought for memory. now looking for gamepad on switch, any suggestion for cheaper less $40 gamepad on amazon?
