Teens React To The Brutal Gauntlet That Is Contra For NES
Contra for the NES is notoriously difficult – especially for young players who didn't grow up with Nintendo's console.
Below, the folks over at React on YouTube have put together a compilation of teens trying out the game for the first time. They don't know the Konami code, or how to jump between levels, but two of them do figure out the benefits of swimming underwater.
For more from the React YouTube channel, head here to see teens play Mario Kart, and here to see them try to figure out a Tiger Handheld.
For a more successful Contra run, head here to see up play the game in its entirety.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.

Thank you.
