Konami announces new Contra game, the series latest installment for China market

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

SNK have released Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 3 on iOS and they all play just fine with touchscreen controls. Almost arcade perfect except for multiplayer.

They've just used their voices to state that they're making a new Contra game when they previously implied they were leaving the VG business?

Why, that's a contra-diction

And even i am moderately surprised
Why, that's a contra-diction

they're a bunch of contras

Who knows? maybe it won't suck the life out of us all..... (magic ball says : "... dude, it's Konami")

Hearing this, a Chinese Castlevania mobile game wouldn't be too bad. It's not like I'm being offered much else. Couldn't be worse than LoS hell or pachinko/pachislot hell.

True story - the Contra game that's already on iOS is the point where I finally decided to stop trying to play games like Contra on my phone.
