Presumably, the reason why Contra is not in the NES Classic is because Nintendo just worked with the games that had been approved way back in 2006, and asking again (specially in the state Konami is in) would probably present bureaucratic hurdles.Īnd that, my friends, is simple reason why we have never gotten those games again. Years later, a person in Konami's digital department wanted to correct this error and resubmit the list to include Contra, and the Genesis titles, but before that could happen, that person was no longer in a position to go forward with it. The reason why Contra was never added to the VC? A clerical error: someone forgot to checkmark the game on the list before sending it back. He told me that before the Wii's VC went live, Nintendo sent certain 3rd party publishers a list with all their previous games, and asked which of those games they wanted to have reissued on the VC.
Well, thanks to a former Konami employee who wishes to remain anonymous, the answer is quite simple, and bureaucratically baffling. Are there legal issues preventing the games, specially Contra, from being re-issued? What's going on? However, the sequel (Super C), has been listed each time. And in the case of the original Contra, it wasn't even included in the Wii U, and the 3DS' VC, or the NES Classic. The games completely skipped the Wii's VC.
were never released on the Virtual Console. *This information has been cleared by moderators.įor years, people have wondered how come the NES Contra, and Genesis titles like Castlevania Bloodlines, Contra Hard Corps, Rocket Knight, etc.
