I couldn't imagine playing something as twitch-heavy as Contra with touch-screen "virtual" buttons.

That's Contra 3's first level iirc.
I owned C3 many years ago. I'd finish it with a neighbor friend like every week.

So it's a mobile port/remake of Contra 3?
Thanks for this, I burst out laughing and almost broke a rib.

I expect nothing and I'm still disappointed.
Same. Just angers me more. It's strange to actively dislike a company but, with Konami, that has happened.

Genuinely expected Pachinko, although I guess thats not really a thing in China

Probably like quarters in an arcade.
Pay money now to restart. Otherwise, wait xx minutes/hours.
Perhaps some additional cheats you can pay for so you can insta-win and feel like a man.

Pay for continues. I actually think these types of games make perfect sense for microtransactions. It's like an arcade game. Though I'd never, ever, ever, play game like this on my phone.
Typical Konami behavior as of late.

I hope that the lives are tied to a countdown clock. Died three times already? Too bad, buy 3 more or wait for 30 minutes. edit:
If it's Contra 3 rehash I am in anyway.

I wish we had a Contra collection that spanned NES, SNES, Genesis, PS2, DS, DSi and Wii, and had last gen Hard CORPS on there for the hell of it.

At this stage I can only laugh. It's like Konami is actively trying to piss off their old fans.

Well, Contra (1, Super C, 3 at least) is kinda interesting because it does need twitch controls but then again the controls are a bit floaty. Only hard thing is ducking so as long as there are huge "shoot continuously", "run forward", "jump" and "crouch" buttons I don't see why there would be any problems playing this at decent level.

I wonder if it'll somehow be worse than the absolute shitfest that was Contra Evolution.

One of my favorite things in modern gaming is companies constantly trying to make HD-graphic-versions of 8/16-bit games. Bless their poor little hearts
No it is just a rehash of Contra 3. They recycled the same sprites:
What a big case of ass.
