SO AWESOME


They list Kobun's "Why is Contra IV SOOOOOO HARD" article on their press section. :lol

And Go Nintendo! G-N redeemed!?

That's the name of their giant rock

They managed to make a giant rock sound manly. There's nothing they can't do.

Don't miss this part:
If they wrote a rock song about these terrible tumblers, it would be in C Sharp or B Flat.

So corny, so fucking awesome. :lol


OMG, and the "Missile Hugger 3000"s built "to keep energy parasites from siphoning the sweet nectar from offensive weaponry. It hasn't seen much use on its home world, since there's no such thing as energy parasites." :lol :lol :lol

This game is going to kick my ass, isn't it guys?

I can't believe I forgot about this. So many games this month. I'll hopefully be getting this on day one or soon after.

I like the way you think. If they did it, I bet we'd finally get Simon Belmont back and some friggin' levels.

I don't even care if I get levels back. If that happened, we'll get this back:

I love this site. Not only is the Contra Jungle theme remix awesome, but I love the writing style. It's a perfect throwback to the instruction manual writing style of the '90s....back before games took themselves way too seriously.

Dirk McShooter:
Dirk thought he was the luckiest alien humanoid when he saw the job posting: good pay, benefits, free trip to Earth, stand in place, decent aim preferred. In the moments since the shirtless super commando opened fire, he's begun questioning that decision.

This is what video games should be like. No long cut-scenes, no pretentious attempts at a "message"; just stylish, charming characters and rock-solid gameplay.

Mario Galaxy, Rondo, and Contra IV. I love this fall so much.

Plot bitching aside, I'm actually looking forward to this more than anything else this fall. Sorry Mario and Uncharted, CONTRA is coming home.

Only after they pitch Wonder Boy 7 to Sega and Klonoa 3 to Namco.
Click to expand...
Unforunately, there is still talent left at Sega and Namco; they just don't care unlike Konami who's more or less a one trick pony. "/

But now that you put the thought of a Klonoa 3 of C4 quality in my head, GIMME!

All I want to know is, after the credits roll and before the game loops into harder mode... does the screen go black and say in big white letters: "EXPECT TO COME NEXT!"

If so, I'll buy 10 copies.

Yep, this is what I was worried about. This game is coming out at the wrong time and is just going to quietly slip through the holiday season unnoticed by the masses. Then Konami will look at the numbers and go "Nope. It looks like nobody was interested in an old school 2d tribute. Sorry Iga, no sidescrolling PS360Wii Castlevania game". Had they not rushed this out for the holiday season and released it in Feb. it would've probably gotten more notice.

But hey, at least we got another 2d Contra.

I know next to nothing about the Contra storyline, but...

Are the four games on the timeline seriously the only canonical Contra games in the entire series?

Eh, technically no.

But WayForward decided that all of that other stuff was stupid poop, so they blew it up with huge guns that actually erased them from history.

So, technically yes.

A bunch of Konami's arcade games in the 80's... I especially remember seeing it every time my friends and I would clear GI JOE: The Arcade Game.

Correction, Tomm Hulett and Simon Lau from Konami, as per the referenced interview. And perhaps WayForward if applicable.

There is one shot in the gallery of this new site.
The main character looks like the one from Probotector (contra in EU) but I am not sure if it's in this new game or a older game..

Would be cool if true.

Yeah, it was confirmed a while ago that you'd be able to unlock the Probotector as a playable character in Contra 4. Good eye though, I totally missed that looking through the screens the first time!

I'd be quick to buy this game if it wasn't for what I've been hearing from 1up. A lot of them are saying that the screen gap creates a big problem because bullets and whatnot get in the gap and you can't see them.

EDIT: THIS...IS....CONTRA

So is the 20th Anniversary bundle for this still on or is it cancelled?
Click to expand...

If you read about the bonus features, it looks like the 20th Anniversary content is in the game itself, instead of being a preorder bonus.

And mention of Ray Poward in the Character section implies that Hard Corps "still happens"

Wow, you're really observant about this Contra stuff. How did you get such a keen eye?

Awesome. This appears to be one of those games that will kick your ass, spit on you, knock you down, rub your face in the mud, laugh and point, and ask if you dare play again. Contra demands razor-sharp hand-eye coordination, precise timing, and a bit of luck--that well-timed power-up--along the way.

Sadly, there are too few such games made today. Gone are the games with punishing difficulty that yield tremendous satisfaction from completing 100%. Give us more such games, you silly devs, instead of these nongames and 10 hour pick up and play titles; those have their place, but some of us love grueling titles, too. *looks at my beloved Ikaruga* :D
