Konami Announces Contra 4 for Nintendo DS!

Link

This is a DIRECT sequel to Contra 3, meaning that this will be the first real Contra game in over a decade. Better yet, this is yet another big series headed to the Nintendo DS! Thoughts?

Contra!!!

Edit:

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Contra 4 (just a working title, folks) is being developed by California's WayForward Technologies (they brought you ****cs such as Ping Pals and SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab)

YAY!!!!

Sweet.

Another once upon a time Konami flagship franchise relegated to handheld status. Castlevania's already in, what's next? Gradius?

And Shattered Soldier was the direct sequel to Contra III actually, and an excellent Contra game. And you're also forgetting Hard Corps, which was superior to Contra III.

I don't need to play Contra 1 graphics and dated gameplay all over again. SKIP!NobuoMusicMaker

Well, might as well fire up Resistance...again... :roll:

Awesome, Next up Streets of Rage and Strider make a Come back!Zenkuso

i loved those old side scrolling beat em ups. esp with a friend or 3 (if it has 4 sticks) wifi coop for those would be awesome.

I want frickin Double Dragon to make a return to gaming. But this is a joyous day indeed.

Hope that Golden Axe doesn't suck on the 360 and PS3 though, maybe old school beatemups and shooters will make a come back.

Honestly some franchises just don't work in 3D. Thats why Sonic Rush outscores all the recent 3D sonics. Contra is one of them as well.

As long as my MGS stays in 3D I'm happy.

NIIICEE!!

CONTRA IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE .

The last 3D Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, could have been really great if the devs had actually put some effort in the series trademark killer visual style, but instead every corridor and hallway ended up looking the same. I guess the devs realised that in a 3D game you can't rehash sprites from 1993 over and over and get away with it.

3D is totally another game, and most devs just want to play it safe and hug to the tired and true gameplay and style that made their games great. And while that's a totally ok thing to do, because the games are great in 2D, it's only but a excuse to say the games can't work in 3D because it's clearly just the lack of view of the developers.
