11-Year-Old Exposed to Contra for the First Time, Hates It

ToBeNowhere
The old-school gamers at Nerdballoon sat down with a slightly uncommunicative 11-year-old and asked him to describe his first experience ever with a platform shooter - the beloved Contra. Predictably, he hated it.

The graphics "suck," the music is "boring" and - I'm not sure if this is a positive or a negative - "it's not as easy as Halo 3 or Call of Duty: World at War," rating it "9 out of 10" on the difficulty-o-meter.

He also doesn't like the fact everything's a one-shot kill. What would he rather play than Contra? Why, Call of Duty and Halo, of course. I'm getting the idea that's all he does play. Well that, and hockey.

    • Kotaku, this isn't investigation, this is common fact. Its just like that the 15 year old kid who crapped on the Walkman. I'm 16 and I had a Walkman (to listen to the power ranges theme of course) and I liked it, but my opion on FOX News yet (Current, knock, knock.)

      It would be more interesting if they got a 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 year olds take on the same game to see if gamers tend to go back look at gamings history as they get older like I do.
