Contra 4 coming soon to the DS!!!

[VictimOfScience]

So has no one heard about this or does no one care?? Contra, in its first few iterations, was unmatched in terms of the crazy run-and-gun gameplay experience it offered. Just about all of us can remember the days of co-op play on the NES entering the classic Konami code and such. So now, after years of mediocre "Contra" titles (except SS--I like that one a lot), we have been graced with what looks to be an awesome return to form for the Contra franchise. Plus the grapple arm ala Bionic Commando looks to add even more fun!!

Lots of gameplay vids here.

1up preview here.

I wrote a Contra 3 clone for one of my final year university modules, unfortunately I don't have a DS but I might pick one up. Looks interesting, looks like it follows the story of the Contra on the NES rather than Contra 3.

The only place I've heard of Contra is on the Best Page in the Universe (It really is).

Bionic Commando, with the grapple arm, for the NES, straight f'in ruled.


Never really liked Contra, though I played most of the iterations.

Up up down down left right left right b a b a select start. Still remember the code to get extra lives. (you need them to have a chance)
