Censored Version Region: Europe

Uncensored Version Region: USA

Oct 06, 2011 - Author: MD - Translator: DaxRider123 Release:- Author:- Translator: Contra Hard Corps was the next generation of "Contra" games; the course of the game was no longer connected to one single storyline, instead you were able to decide how the story goes on. However, since you not only fight aliens but also a lot of human enemies and the game (in terms of language) no longer was as child-friendly as the previous games, it had to be censored even further that its predecessors for the European release. Altered Intro

In the intro, 3 scenes were altered.
