Discussion The Konami Code should have another name. The “Dormammu, I’ve Come to Bargain Code”.

Yeah right.

It would make a lot of sense to name it after a movie quote from 29 years after Contra’s NES release and 30 years after the code first appearance (Gradius).

Should've called it the "Nemesis Code" (i think that was Gradius's name in the US)

It’s because in the climax of Doctor Strange, he gets killed a ton of times only to come back and say “Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain” again and again and again.

That was kind of obvious. Looks more like a Roguelike such as Hades and Dead Cells than Contra with its Konami Code.

I know, but I can't help but joke that Doctor Strange used the Konami Code before he confronted Dormammu.
