I’ll be fair, I don’t know if the Konami code actually works in this VR port. I’m just under the assumption if they would port this game, it would include the code.
As someone who didn’t put the man hours in to beat the original Contra, this looks easier than the original NES game. I have beat other Contra titles, just not the original this seems to be based on. So, if you have the gear, try this out and let me know how it is. If the Konami code works – please let us know that also.
