** The Appaloosa-made titles, ''Contra: Legacy of War'' and ''C: The Contra Adventure'', were never released in Japan either. Also, ''Contra Adventure'' never came out in Europe, even though ''Legacy of War'' did. Contra 4 never made it to Europe, either, despite including an unlockable character inspired by the Probotector versons of the previous games that were released in Europe.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: Due to the popularity of ''Contra'' on Chinese Famiclones and in the absence of official Konami material, a popular among Chinese gamers is the existence of a hidden "underwater 8th level", which replaces the actual 8th stage, the Alien Lair. The supposed method to access the alleged level is convoluted, and requires shooting certain enemies or locations with specific weapons.

Basically he got to use his concept of a ''Contra'' song in an actual ''Contra' game.

* DevelopmentHell: ''Contra Rogue Corps'' was actually teased all the way back to 2011. Unfortunately, in 4 years, Konami underwent radical changes in management that not only destroyed the goodwill of the fanbase but also severely decreased their own manpower in console video game development in favor of mobile games and pachinko. And then it quieted down (most likely to find a new indie dev to take over from the original team that was, ahem, 'released'), taking another 4 years to eventually release the game... and it ended up as a bomb.
