@[email protected] Is that the game which was never released until the mini SNES?

That's indeed the one.
@[email protected] and if course, here in the UK we got the better name of Lylat Wars. 🤮 But that was on the box, everyone else just called it Starwing. 😄

I'm pretty sure this is just nostalgia on my part by now, but I really do like the name Lylat Wars.
Unlike, say, Probotector, which is objectively much better that Contra. 😉
Same with the protagonists of that series.
I much prefer the robots to the Arnie and Stallone knockoffs. 😅
@[email protected] Isn't Contra the game with the stolen Predator poster artwork? They just changed his head.

Let's just say they took "inspiration" from it. 😄
