Contra 4 is easily the best Contra styled game we've gotten since Contra III/Contra Hard Corps and if that's not reason enough to play it then you suck.

It must suck to live in a world where Metal Slug 1, X, and 3 don't exist.

edit: Isn't Gunstar Heroes newer than those as well?

[YellerDog]

Contra 4 is better than Metal Slug 1 or X. Easy. 3's amazing, though.

Also Gunstar is not as good as you seem to think it is. Ho ho ho.

[Yoshi]

Lay off the egg nog.

The weapons suck in Gunstar Heroes. The game is ten times more fun just using the melee attacks and throwing dudes around.

[Yoshi]

I have no problem with questioning Treasure games, but the Sega platform G* Heroes games are off limits.

[YellerDog]

And another thing, the digitized sound is goddamn awful. "HAH! HAH!"

[Yoshi]

That's true, but that's a hardware issue, much like Contra 4 is a hardware issue.

[YellerDog]

It's In The Game. Emulation does not improve this.

[Yoshi]

Emulation still has many of the limitations of the original hardware that is being emulated... that's kind of the point.

The game was an 8/10 a decade ago, I'd say 6.5/10 today.
