A compilation of classic Contra titles, frontal run-and-gun that hasn't lost a shred of its fury. Rewind options soften a difficulty that's still ferocious. Clean emulation and archive extras, even if the choice of versions sometimes leaves you wanting.

Contra Anniversary Collection (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
A compilation of the foundational run-and-guns, the Contra Anniversary Collection revives bosses that defined arcade difficulty: biomechanical fortresses, pulsing hearts and alien creatures that flood the screen with fire. Surviving comes down to memorizing patterns, pixel-perfect dodging and constant shooting; these clashes remain a benchmark of nerve-shredding action.
