Anyone getting Contra 4 on DS? It comes out tomorrow I think. I'll be getting it sometime in the next few weeks. Reviews are good so far, with the only complaint being that it's a very difficult game. It's Contra, what did you expect?

I'm interested to see what all types of weapons are available, other than the classic spreadshot, laser, etc. I read that there's a ton of unlockable stuff, including the original Contra and Super Contra.




Here's a sweet video of some guy playing guitar to the Jungle level on Contra.

do you happen to know if it will support wifi 2 player? would be sick lol

I was thinking the same thing. That'd be really cool

Not sure about that. I know it's 2 player, but I don't know about wifi.

click on "The Game" and then "Weapons List" to see cool videos of each weapon.

awesome, those videos are exactly what i needed to see, definetely convinced to buy this game lol. i have a feeling this is going to be like contra III: alien wars for the snes, pure badass. and i'm pretty sure it will be 2 player wifi-enabled.

edit: lol i love the description they give of the spreadshot.

"Here it is. The pride and joy of any Contra's weapon chest. The only thing better than one stream of blazing hot death is 3, each released at a different angle for maximum collateral damage."

wow I need that game now. I loved the first Contra. It's the only one I've really played. I was good at Contra as a kid, but I suck now. All the video games these days being generally easy makes games like that much harder.

I love contra. Its one of the few games that has held strong over time. I can still play and enjoy Contra and Contra III almost any time.

Sorry to keep threadjacking

Yeah sometime during the week is best. My sis has to work during the week, so I'm most likely stuck exploring NYC on my own for a couple days.

I'll probably rent Contra before I buy it to see if I'll actually play it regularly or just occasionally.
