Super Contra

Shooting and gunplay

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.

Bionic Commando Rearmed

Strong soundtrack

A remake of the NES classic where you swing with a bionic arm instead of jumping through 2.5D levels, fighting a militaristic regime's forces. It pairs classic arcade design with modernized visuals and a tough challenge.

C: The Contra Adventure

Shooting and gunplay

You blast through ten levels of alien-infested jungle as Ray, mixing run-and-gun shooting with jumping sections and a large arsenal of weapons. It is a relentless, old-school action shooter from the late PlayStation era.

Mega Man 11

Jumping and platforming

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Mega Man X5

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero through eight stages against Reploid bosses while a falling space colony threatens Earth. Hero choice, boss weaknesses and a ticking clock add variety and pressure.

Mega Man X6

Jumping and platforming

A fast 2D action platformer with robot bosses, selectable stage order and swappable armor parts. Known for its steep, sometimes unfair difficulty and the Nightmare system.

Mega Man X4

Strong soundtrack

A fast 2D run-and-gun platformer where you play as X or Zero and take down Maverick bosses in any order, grabbing their weapons. Tight controls, anime cutscenes and a driving soundtrack make it a series highlight.

Mega Man 8

Jumping and platforming

A classic run-and-gun platformer where Mega Man defeats eight robot masters and takes their weapons. The PlayStation entry brings a colorful cartoon look, animated cutscenes and varied stages with boss fights.

Mighty No. 9

Sci-fi setting

A 2D run-and-gun platformer in the vein of classic Mega Man: as the robot Beck you jump through twelve stages, blast enemies and absorb their powers with a dash attack. It is widely regarded as an uneven execution of its promising concept.
