Super Contra Gets the SNES Upgrade — and It’s a Lot More Than Just High-Res Pixels
Retro dev Infidelity is back with another impressive homebrew conversion: Super C (NES) reborn as a full SNES experience. And no, this isn’t just a resolution bump—it’s a thoughtful overhaul packed with features that actually enhance the classic run-and-gun gameplay.
Think of it as Super Contra meets modern controls. The SNES version ditches the NES’s infamous slowdown and sprite flicker, while adding MSU-1 audio support—including five soundtrack options (arcade original, clean analog rip, and remixes). Yes, remixes. Because why not?
The SNES controller’s extra buttons get smart use:
- L button: Lock your gun position and strafe freely (yes, finally).
- R button: Shoot in 7 directions while standing still—perfect for tight spots.
- X button: Swap between two weapon types (RAPID fire flagged with an icon).
- A button: Cycle through 18 retro CGRAM palettes for that true 16-bit vibe—or wild neon trips.
There’s even a Star Fox-style training menu accessible from the title screen to practice all these new tricks. And if you love how Infidelity breathes new life into retro classics, head over to their Patreon—they’re doing god’s work, one ROM hack at a time.
