Probotector II, the European version of Super C. Same robotized excellence for this Contra 2. Intense action, varied levels, just as essential for run'n'gun fans.

"Classic"
As nervy as ever, the sequel enriches its arsenal with flamboyant martial themes and frantic rhythms cut for the assault. Konami's music galvanises every wave of enemies with an infectious heroic energy. This sonic generosity faithfully extends the series' legendary intensity.

Collector interest
The European PAL NES edition of 'Super C' rebadged Probotector for coherence with the first PAL entry. The PAL print was even shorter than the first Probotector, and intact boxed CIB has become one of the most expensive Konami NES PAL carts in Europe. The cote climbs hard on the PAL collector market, sustained by the complete Probotector series effect and by the authenticity of the Europe-only robotised content.
Memorable bosses
A beefed-up sequel to the run-and-gun shock, this offensive chains even more massive guardians, from an alien face rising out of the ground to fortresses bristling with cannons. Top-down stages renew the patterns and the angles to read. Ever more generous with colossal bosses, the whole thing ups the ante without ever losing the readability that lands, controller in hand.
Is Probotector II - Return of the Evil Forces still worth playing in 2026?
Super C, also Super Contra in Japan and Probotector II - Return of the Evil Forces in Europe, is the direct Contra sequel on NES. Intense action, new views including side and top-down cameras, varied levels and explosive two-player co-op, Konami's title maintains the original's excellence with added variety. Still an absolute must today, ideally in co-op after the first Contra.
