#GRADIUS REBIRTH UNLOCK CODE#
In Bloodlines on the Sega Mega Drive the code will unlock “Expert” difficulty or in the PS3/XBOX360 version of Lords of Shadow, the code will bring up a Cheat Menu. It doesn’t provide invincibility or unlimited lives but it’s more of a nod to hardcore gamers who understand the story behind it. It would then be known as the Konami Code and can be found in some shape or form in most of their games.Ĭastlevania has the Konami Code included in every release of the game. It soon became known as the “Contra Code” or “999 Lives Code”.īoth Gradius and Contra were developed by Konami so it became an inside joke to have it in more of their games. Though it made its first appearence in Gradius is was the release of Contra in 1988 for the NES that gained the code popularity with its inclusion. More recently, Gradius Rebirth was released on the Wii and was fully equipped with the code with the 1 and 2 buttons replacing A and B, respectively. Replacing left, right with the L and R triggers gives the player all the powers instead. As a joke, in the SNES game Gradius III the code actually destroys the players ship. The code would become so popular that it was included in the series’ sequels and spin-offs. It doesn’t take gamers long to find that which should be hidden in video games and soon it was discovered and shared. When the game was fully tested, Kazuhisa forgot to take the code out of the game and as a result was still present in the final released version.

However when testing the game through he found it too difficult to play so put a code in the game that would give the player a full set of power-ups that are normally gained gradually throughout the game. A year after its release it was ported to the NES by developer Kazuhisa Hashimoto. In 1985, Gradius was released, an arcade side scrolling shooter that would soon go down in history for the part it plays in the Konami Code’s history. For example on PlayStation these buttons are replaced by X and O. The B and A buttons are altered for game controllers without these buttons. Sometimes this is followed by Start or Enter. The code is entered by press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. With the Konami Code having its Birthday this week we took a look back at the history of this infamous cheat code.
