No real fan of Contra counts that piece of shit.

Love it or hate it, it’s technically a Contra game and the 3rd on the NES. I think it’s an okay game, certainly playable. It most definitely doesn’t live up to the Contra name, I think we all can agree on that.

Interesting question....

A) Gun.Smoke, Shatterhand, Dragon Spirit. Tough choice. All have very different reasons for being #1 in their (personal) "category".

B) Chip & Dale, Duck Tales, and/or Battletoads/Double Dragon.

C) Double Dragon.... Adventure Island, Ninja Gaiden, TMNT (Could be in C or D???) Skate or Die, & Batman get honourable mentions. Contra would have been the easy favourite had Contra Force been a true 'sequel' and not a piece of shit.

D) Mega Man...

Lots of different technicalities here. But interesting to discuss none the less.

For example.... Does TMNT count as a trilogy or a series? Tournament Fighters isn't really connected, neither is one, gameplay wise... Contra. Enough said.

Also, for Category A and a game that had no sequel... do you mean EVER? No sequel on SNES, nothing??? That makes that category much more interesting. Thus I tried to answer it as such.

Only ONE #1... haha... that's almost impossible on NES.

Haha I wasn't sure whether or not I should mention it because am not sure everyone would agree it would count as a trilogy or duology. Batman games are the other one that I thought - does it count?

Okay... you know what? I prefer this.

Let's just ALL agree to disregard Contra Force and we will all agree to consider Contra/Super C a "Duology".

I'm far more comfortable with this than always having to leave Contra/Super C out of these conversations. They are so good they don't deserve such treatment. Me when I have to leave Contra/Super C out.

A) Marble Madness or Snake Rattle n Roll
B) Do we count Contra? If we do, probably has to be Contra, if not, Kung Fu Heroes/Little Ninja Brothers
C) Shadowgate/Uninvited/Deja Vu. I think they qualify, if not maybe Lolo or Adventure Island
D) Mega Man, hands down.

Yeah, but it wasn't Contra III, so it isn't the same series.

That's like saying Yoshi is a Mario sequel.

Yoshi? As in the puzzle game? Terrible comparison.. At least Contra Force is in the same run & gun action genre as the first 2.

My choice would be Kung Fu, but it had a Japan-only sequel. I haven't played it enough yet to know how much I like it, so I don't know if I would put them in column B.

Almost impossible, no way. Lots have already been mentioned and I would add:
MC Kids
Battle of Olympus
Shadow of the Ninja
Journey to Silius
Astyanax - OK, that one is probably not anybody's favorite, but it's decent. This brings up another question. Do games that have ports to other systems count as a series of one? Astyanax was an arcade game before it was a Nintendo game. So, for that matter, was Kung Fu [Master], and it had ports for Atari as well as most of the 80s gaming computers. I am inclined to say they all count as one game, because technical changes aside, they were intended to be the same thing. On the other hand, it could be said they are still drastically different, especially in the differences between arcade versions and home versions.

Maybe Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu is a secret Kung Fu sequel. Kung Fu was based on a Jackie Chan movie.

I say yes.

Does that make Yoshi, Mario, and Punchout a trilogy?

I would consider that long before calling the feces festival that is Contra Force part of the Contra "trilogy".
