Nice cover, only thing that bothers me is the logo...it's too similar to the background, makes it look like "ontra".

 

[Swordian]

GameCrazy is giving a free 20th Anniversary Pack with pre-orders in the USA. Might be similar to that awesome Castlevania one?

No, they aren't. There is no pre-order bonus.

 

[Crushed]

FUCK YEAH

BEST COVER EVER

Do you see this shit IGA? This is how you treat an '80s action game. We need a Castlevania-revival just like this. No man-ladies or animu, just barbarians throwing axes into faces and eating haunches of bloody meat.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Damn, I may actually have to buy a DS.

Why is there no 2D contra on PSP?

 

[Tom_Cody]

 

[Extollere]

shitty box art is shitty.

should have used the old one.

 

[VideoMan]

Wait, in the Marketing Calendar is shows something coming to DS Download Stations starting in September. Demo or video? Somebody look into this.

 

[Crushed]

shitty opinion is shitty.

We're well aware of that now.

 

[CrisKre]

Its all about the awesome bossfights. Hope this game delivers. My chilhood memories are at stake here.

Get your girly, anime lady avatar ass out of this topic. The men are talking.

 

[Scenester]

[snesfreak]

Sweet, I'll be attacking aggressively.

even just going back to Kojima art would be good enough, but your idea is pretty cool!

 

[R0nn]

BCOTC?

Spoiler

box cover of the century

I would like to buy your game.

 

[Creamium]

I heard Floyd Landis looked at this boxart right before the Tour de France, and that's why he tested positive for high levels of testosterone.

You sir, won the thread.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Is this an all new adventure or a remake?

 

[Dark Octave]

The new/final cover art is much better.

 

[Scenester]

Is this an all new adventure or a remake?

Its an all new game!

 

[sphinx]

NOOOOO!!

First " TheSphinx" and now

why is it so hard to have some identity here?

 

[Extollere]

Get your girly, anime lady avatar ass out of this topic. The men are talking.

The fact that it's drawn poorly, the composition is kinda lame, and the color scheme (all browns and reds) doesn't make this cover art any better. I'm sure the game is going to be awesome, but speaking on the cover art - yeah it kinda sucks. The older one was better, and a tad bit more retro too. Plus it has more fucking muscle and more fucking guns, and a black guy in the background who is probably going to get eaten. So shut the fuck up.

 

[Insaniac]

I thought this was supposed to have 4 player?

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

:O

Fucking win!

Too kawaii for you?

 

[AniHawk]

I was hoping they'd do a throwback to the oldschool NES boxes. Pretty fucking awesome cover.

 

[Extollere]

'fraid so : (

needs moar muscle/guns/demons/explosions/color/excitement/ and to be better drawn

 

[AtomicShroom]

You know, this has me thinking...

This is exactly what Rare should be doing with the DKC franchise on portables: A FUCKING NEW GAME!! DKC4. Come on!

Still, in the meanwhile, Contra 4 will own my soul!

So awesome.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Damn...looks like I might be buying it now...

FU GAF for always keeping me updated....

 

[R-User!]

Will. Buy. When. I. Can!!!

 

[Father_Brain]

I'm not sure how this one will turn out... but looking at videos, you'd never guess that this was farmed out to a Western developer, rather than being done in-house. That's pretty impressive.

 

[jj984jj]

That's awesome!

 

[LM4sure]

AWESOME!!!

 

[Scenester]

Damn...looks like I might be buying it now...

God I know, Ive been spending a lot of time here lately as its so slow at the office, as a result Ive been planning to buy heaps more games that I didnt know about

Your avatar is a girl, by the way. Just sayin...

 

[ThirstyFly]

CONTRA!

I love the skeleton in the flames.

I bet it represents the ass-kicking the player is going to get playing this.

 

[Hootie]

That cover art is the definition of badass.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Drawing is for sissies. It should just have pictures of topless women laying on muscle cars holding steaks on it. Or Fabio.

 

[Johnas]

This game looks to be the ultimate in Contra fan-service.

I have a feeling I'll be smiling the entire time I'm playing this game.

And that boxart wins.

:O The day after Super Mario Galaxy hits? Oh dear.

 

[Mashing]

This game gets the No Ma'am Seal of Approval.

Have you considered a career in marketing?

 

[The Main Event]

Have you considered a career in marketing?

:lol

I'd hire him.

 

[shuri]

I swear its like you guys werent there back then. The new boxart feels NOTHING like the typical boxart of games of the time (well it does features two guys screaming with guns), but they got the faces all wrong. They should had went with something more similar to the promo posters...

 

[JavaMava]

so what two action movie stars are the guys on the box supposed to be a homage to?

 

[Extollere]

Drawing is for sissies.

Hahahaha.....ha tell it to someone like Frank Frazetta. Don't know who Frank Frazetta is?

Ok, I totally agree with you here, that'd do just fine.

Or Fabio.

Nope, you're off track now...Fabio?

Thank-you. For Contra not only do we need an extremely excellent box-art. We need homage! (but more importantly a fucking awesome game)

Oh and yes my avatar is a girl. Ever play guilty gear? no? then go to hell

 

[Scenester]

It would be so good if Fabio was on the cover of Contra 4. Next to 80's Motown artist Giorgio

 

[Galactic Fork]

The biggest news for me is the grappling hook! I wonder if it'll be like the bionic commando one! Capcom should follow Konami and make a Bionic Commando DS game.
