There’s a feeling in the gaming community that corner cutting measures integrated into a video game’s design somehow deter from a gamers’ overall experience.
Save points, extra lives and rewinding time, only weak games utilize features like that. In reality, some of these 'cheats' actually make games more fun for time strapped gamers.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
"The Contra series is poised to make a comeback thanks to fan favorite-developer WayForward and Konami. Contra: Operation Galuga is a 2.5D reimagining of the original Contra arcade/NES game that will launch in early 2024. The remake looks to retain the series' traditional cooperative run-and-gun action, and we're all about it. How close will Operation Galuga be to the original game, though? Let's compare screenshots and see!" says Co-Optimus.
I am all over this
I wonder if the extra lives code will be included…
I've been waiting for another decent Contra since Shattered Solider PS2.
Day one for me
There was couple good Contras that you have probably missed then. One on DS and Hard Corps: Uprising
Operation Galuga actually comes from the same director as Contra 4 and Spidersaurs, Tom Hulett. This one should definitely feel like a real Contra.
As long as it's not hard like the arcade version, I can never get past the waterfall
The levels are actually remixed and sometimes new, so it's not a straight remake. For instance, there's a level on hoverbikes that wasn't in the original game.
I am certainly welcome to and want new games, but I am ALL about doing this to classic games. They can't do it enough in my book. Personally, I think Sega Saturn and PS1 era games are what I want most. Keep the original gameplay intact, unless the gameplay itself was an issue then fix it, and give those games a complete facelift!!! I understand your point, but for me I LOOOOOOOVE having games from the past being given updated graphics. I am 52 and have been a gamer since the late 70s. I loved the games I played as a kid. The nostalgia is certainly there for me, but I truly love how beautiful games have become and playing games from yesteryear with gorgeous graphics is living those great gaming moments again only beautiful.
Because all of Konami's talent is gone, and they're not willing to take any creative risks these days. So its easier to go back to fan favorite games, and do sloppy remasters, or quickly made low budget remakes of 30 minute NES games.
This one shouldn't be sloppy at all. Also, WayForward is the developer, and they're well known for their proficiency in 2D and 2.5D games.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.
I guess what I'm discussing isn't really cheating in the traditional sense, just optional ways to make a video game more accessible and fun.
I know a lot of people are going to disagree with this story though. I get that a lot of games still need to appeal to the hardcore crowd. That's why I feel these 'cheat's should be optional.
Remember using the game genie on my mega drive and entering the codes for mortal combat when i was like 5 xD , was awesome at the time :D

the article writer is obviously a cheater
Cheating shouldn't be allowed, why should a bunch of cowboys who mod the game - Be allowed to play with legit players, they shouldn't simple as. Ban them all, but on the other hand for single player or maybe LAN games etc maybe allow it but not online and when it is competitive, it just feels like my Xbox 360 is a waste of money with all these cowboys buying rapid fire controllers, GET some skill and maybe people won't dislike you.
Thanks very much though for an interesting suggestion but seriously not happening.
With some games they can certainly extend their longevity. I know many who just armour and weapon up to go on a killing spree in GTA without having to do a whole bunch of stuff or waste all their game money just to engage in some brief, cathartic mayhem.
Not a lot of games these days need them, though. They're all pretty accessible.
