Contra sequel with four characters of differing abilities. Less iconic than the original but solid: good action, varied levels. Series fans will appreciate it despite the steep difficulty.

Collector interest

Odd North American Contra sequel published by Konami in 1992, reworked from a separate Japanese project, Arc Hound. Its collecting interest lies in an atypical place within the franchise and a modest late print run that makes it markedly scarcer than the mainline Contra titles. Favored by Konami series completists on NES, it pairs strong license recognition with limited availability, which sustains a consistently high market value.
