Yeah, beyond all expectations Wayforward actually made an honest-to-God Contra game here.
I bought it today. It's very hard on normal, limited continues, and it took me a while to get through the first stage. Lovin' it.
I'd prefer it didn't have the limited continues. That's something that I'm glad to see dead. Just sending you back to the beginning of the stage on each continue is punishment enough.
I'll still pick this up eventually.
Just playing a new Contra game that feels like Contra will fix a lot of gripes. The limited continues force you to actually learn the game.
The game excels in giving you a little taste of the old Contra's and then throwing you into a new situation. Holy shit, the level two waterfall theme.
the konami code works in that nes rom of Contra you can unlock for bonus content :chick:
challenge mode is also kind of a bitch but so far nowhere near as bad as the main game
Best portable action game since Ninja 5-0. Was playing Mario non-stop until I got this and haven't touched it since. Mario Galaxy is definitely the more impressive game but it's also forgiving and doesn't want to alienate. I love how much the game and manual tells you it's going to kick your ass and then delivers. Really intelligent design, once you figure out patterns and placement you can reck havoc. Only annoyance I've encountered is the lab aliens coming through solid walls instead of just the air ducts, throws me off a bit.
Loved it, deserves a soundtrack. *-neoQuote:

The roach aliens on the walls actually made me jump the first time it happened.
Just picked this up... Yeah, this is even more "Contra 4" than Hardcorps was, and certainly the best game to bear the Contra name since Hardcorps.
Wayforward must be Contra fans themselves.
I haven't been following things and I thought that wifi co-op was in but I guess not. Oh well.
After playing a little bit, I'm surprised at how I miss having a melee weapon as in Metal Slug and Gunstar Heroes. It would come in handy with all the backpack guys running at you.
How does this look in action? I looked at the back of the case, and was not impressed with the screen shots.
