![]() ![]() Another one of Krystal’s color palettes: Noel Vermillion from Blazblue: Contiuum Shift One of Krystal’s color palette: Samus Aran from the Metroid video game series Somewhat related, the attire, equipment or color palette of some of the characters may make reference to other series or culture: In conjunction with this game’s release, Hard Corps: Uprising costumes were released for the PlayStation Home: This is a reference to the intro of the arcade version of Super Contra, where Bill utters the same line. When playing as Harley Daniels, he utters the line “What is this place?” at the start of the fifth stage. Interestingly, there is no 1-up representing the original Contra (ie, a lack of UPRISING C). UPRISING DS = Contra Dual Spirits (Japanese version of Contra 4) UPRISING III = Contra III: The Alien Wars The names of the purchasable 1-UP’s are dead-on references to Contra games: Instead, players must lose all lives and continues 100 times to gain 573 continues. However, due to a bug in one of the game’s updates, the code no longer works. Initially, a code similar to the Konami Code input during gameplay would grant the 573 continues. One instance of 573 in the game is the number of continues that can be unlocked. Here is the Japanese translation:ĥ is “go” in Japanese, though it is often the case of pronouncing it “ko”.ħ is “nana” in Japanese (abbreviated to “na”).ģ is “mittsu” in Japanese (abbreviated to “mi”). This is in reference to the name Konami, using the practice of goroawase. You may find the number 573 throughout the game, like the cost of the UPRISING R 1-UP. This could be a nod to one of the meanings behind the title “Contra”. One of the achievements (XBox 360), or trophies (PlayStation 3), is called “Innate Guerrilla Warfare”. It is also safe for one to assume that this game is not meant to play as another Contra game, but a separate side scrolling shooter. That there lacks any real connection further enforces the notion that Hard Corps: Uprising, though similar in gameplay, is unrelated to the Contra series. The names of these characters are evidently mere references. Mandrake of this game shares only the name with the Dr. They share no similarities or any real allusions to one another likewise, the plot of Hard Corps: Uprising does not provide any reliable link to Colonel Bahamut from Contra: Hard Corps. However, the 2 characters are more than likely not the same. The leader of the protagonists shares the same name as the antagonist of Contra: Hard Corps (Bahamut). Players who bought the full game through the trial demo after the latest software update were rewarded with 15 000 000 free CP to use in the shop. If you enter the Konami Code during the loading screen before the first level, the level’s background music will change to a rendition of the classic Jungle theme.
