Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced Contra 4 (working title) for the Nintendo DS. Marking the 20th anniversary of the quintessential action franchise, the game pushes 2D side-scrolling action in an all-new direction with gunplay that spans two full screens, original gameplay mechanics that grant players deadlier abilities than ever before, and frantic multiplayer functionality.
With River City Girls 2 arriving next week, it's time to look at the company's best!
This week Peggy (@MoiraiOW) joins Ti ny (@Tiny415) Mike (@AssaultSuit) and Aaron (@Ind1fference) to talk about esports, video games, Overwatch, late 80s movies, board games and more video games.
After trying a few different directions, Contra 4 is a welcome return to the classic formula and one of the better Contras overall.
Woot diggity ^^
Glad they are going back to side scrollers cuz this game was never meant for 3D.
As a PSP owner this is the first game title that really hurts seeing as a PSP version of this game would be light years better than a DS version.
I'll have to hope they're going to be releasing a PSP built Contra game as well, similiar to the Castlevania game coming out. Otherwise I'll get the DS version for my wife's DS.
Yet another reason to own a DS
AWESOME news. A true sequel to Contra 3. And a 2D one. Im speechless.
I love Contra. It's awesome that Konami is showing the DS some major love.
Go Contra!
