While it’s a shame that there are fewer games here than in other Konami collections – we’d have loved to have seen NES title Contra Force or the now-extinct WiiWare title Contra ReBirth – the ones included are universally brilliant. The 8-bit and 16-bit Contra games are among the finest examples of the run ‘n gun genre, and to have almost all of them included in a single release and emulated flawlessly is an absolute treat. Whether you’re a fan of the series or a curious onlooker who’s always wanted to see what the fuss was all about, this is essential.

It's hard to screw up a Contra collection. Even a barebones selection of the 8-bit and 16-bit Contra games would still be pretty darn good. That's basically what we have here: most of the early Contra games for arcade, NES, Super NES, and SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive. These are presented without many extras, other than save states and some concept art.

What would have made this collection a 10/10 would be a few more quality-of-life features, and at the very least the inclusion of Contra ReBirth. As it is, Contra: Anniversary Collection is still packed with great games, and is worth playing.
