Didn't know weapons could be upgraded; nice.ThirstyFly said:I'm pretty sure one of the upgrades for the Flame gun is a Super C like burst.

ThirstyFly said:I wonder who the other unlockable characters are, since we only know 1 of the 5.
Simon Belmont and Solid Snake would make the game hilariously awesome.
Segata Sanshiro said:Though there is one goofup. Bill Rizer is "Mad Dog", and Lance is "Scorpion". But oh well, if that's the worst mistake they make, things are going pretty well.
duffey said:Whoa I had no idea those behind the back sections from the NES Contra were in the game, that's AWESOME. Totally buying day one for sure.

Golden Darkness said:Mad Dog and Scorpion were split off into their own characters. Bill and Lance never had those nicknames in the original Japanese.
Although looking at the site's timeline, there were interesting things that they did with the continuity of the series, if the Japanese did approve of them.
In regards to Operation C/Contra for Gameboy, they didn't stick to the Japanese story of Bill and Lance vs unnamed country, they gave the newly created Mad Dog and Scorpion the credit and the enemy was the Black Viper(as in the original localization).
Mad Dog is described as buddies with Ray Poward, one of the heroes of Contra Hard Corps.
One of the cities the heroes must protect is still called Neo City, a holdover from the game that was localized as a Contra game.
ThirstyFly said:Where'd you get all this? A lot of that information is incorrect going by the actual game manuals. I don't have Contra III's manual (which doesn't matter anyway since they were renamed AGAIN). Operation C's manual clearly states that Lance's code name is "Scorpion" and Bill's is "Mad Dog", so they were never spun off into their own characters (until now) even in the incorrect storyline presented in the North American manuals.
And again, there was no Bill AND Lance in Operation C. It was one of the other (Bill in Japan, Lance in North America).
Golden Darkness said:I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to the Contra 4's site timeline. Although I was more emphasizing on the fact that it was an unnamed country as the villian of Operation C rather than Black Viper. I only said Bill and Lance together because the site said Mad Dog and Scorpion together in regards to Operation C.
I just though its was odd the website would state such times after it seemed that Konami would restore the original stories, although they would have to make Red Falcon a terrorist force instead of a alien leader.
ThirstyFly said:Oh, sorry about that.
It is pretty stupid that after Konami went and fixed the canon with Shattered Soldier after all the weird stuff in the North American storyline, that these guys went and messed it up again just so they could include Mad Dog and Scorpion as new characters.
If "Jimbo" and "Sully" are 2 of the 5 unlockable characters, I'm going to cry.

Aeana said:I feel the need to mention that WayForward had nothing to do with the story, here - that was Konami's own guys.

jman2050 said:No offense or anything, but this is frikken Contra. Who cares about the story? :lol
cartman414 said:He also handpicked WayForward for coding.
ThirstyFly said:I wouldn't really care if SS and Neo Contra didn't have storyline sequences and tried to make sense of the plot, because let's face it, most 8/16-bit game storylines didn't really matter at all. But they did try to go somewhere with it with those games and it was kind of interesting.
I guess this still won't hurt SS and NC's story since Lance and Bill are still themselves, but the North American storyline is such a clusterfuck it's almost funny.
Even the Japanese isn't perfect since Lance is black for one game. Or was he just really, really tan? *shrug*
