I've only played Contra. How is the rest of that collection?
The games are pretty good. But nothing compares to the original. That's arguably the best game on nintendo and an all-time classic.

Ah. There's no reason to suspect you'd have to use joycons to play it. They really suck for old-school games, I agree.
We only use fullsize controllers for all the games my family play.

Hopefully someone can help my lazy ass. What games would these cover that I don't already get for free from my NSO sub?

That only works for single-player. You need ...B A Select Start for two-player extra lives. iirc. And that recall is going back a loooooong way....

For those who don't have fond memories of these games, I don't recommend them.

Super-castlevania was a pretty looking nice quick level-by-level platformer. But 1 player. And is definitely outdone by modern metriidvanias like Hollow Knight. The nes castlevanias are unplayable imo.

Contras are pretty good for laughs if you have a buddy. But weaker than many modern co-op platformers and twin stick shooters like Enter the Gungeon or bro-force.
