Well, we got Contra ReBirth for WiiWare so I'm not too surprised to see a new Contra on the other two download services. Konami announced this earlier today and apparently, will be a spiritual successor to Contra Hard Corps/Probotector for the Mega Drive/Genesis. It will be developed by Arc Systems Works, will have a more anime look to it (As evident in the screenshot below), will be as difficult as the previous games (But will include a slightly easier mode) and the gameplay will remain roughly the same.
No release date has been announced but it's expected to get released around the end of the year.
Happy Happy, So happy! Greatest day of all! Yes!XD I can't wait until it comes out! And I jope they hype it up by rereleasing the original Contra or Hard Corp on VC!
It states that its coming out in Winter. I know what I'm getting for Christmas.
Looks very cool, but very not Contra. Why are they forcing this into the series instead of making it an original title if they're going to ignore the series' every basic rule of style and setting?
It looks great so far. Since the game is sort of a sequel to Contra Hard Corps (Megadrive Probotector) I think the colourful style is quite fitting. That game was pretty lighthearted in it´s design. And Contra needed a fresh new start! (Liked both Rebirth and Contra 4 though )
Hmm, after seeing the trailer for this game it doesn't look very Contra like to me. It does look pretty though. I'll probably still get it but I'm bit skeptical now. The main thing that bothers me is that the main character has a life bar. There are no freaking life bars in Contra! Oh well, it will have a demo when it hits the XBLA so I can just try it before I buy it.
