Probotector in Contra 4?
#1
Just found this press release (?).
Why don't more sites have it? Bonus Features in Contra 4: To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the popular Contra franchise of video games, Konami Digital Entertainment plans to incorporate a wealth of in-game bonus content into its latest entry in the run and gun action franchise, Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS™. The content includes: • 20th Anniversary Virtual Museum – this museum provides a virtual history of the Contra franchise since the early 80’s, including box art, screen shots and information on every version of Contra from the US, Japan and Europe. The museum also features an unlockable gallery of bonus art. • Unlockable Games – The NES versions of the classic Contra and Super C are now unlockable. • 5 unlockable characters, including the Probotector from the European version of the Contra games • 2 unlockable digital comic books from longtime Contra artist, Atsushi Tsujimoto • An interview with noted Contra Producer Nobuya Nakazato |

Man that's pretty awesome, but does anyone else think that this game is coming out at the wrong time? I mean, if it bombs, Konami will be thinking "Well damn I guess nobody wants a 2d revival of these classic franchises". But in reality though, we're saying "We really, really, really want this badass game, but there's all these other awesome games we need to buy first".
I hope this game succeeds with all the heart that looks like is being put into it, but because of its timing, I doubt it will. It will most likely fade away and send the wrong message to Konami. |

With Contra 4, it looks like this is their chance to shine and it seems like they know what it takes to make a fun Contra game. Hopefully it won't be for naught. I applaude them for at least trying as I will definitely be buying this on day one. |
