Ricardo Negron of The Koalition writes: On September 14th, 2023, KONAMI and WayForward announced that a new Contra game, titled Contra: Operation Galuga, would be released in early 2024. I had the pleasure of interviewing three lead developers for this game: Tomm Hulett, director at WayForward; Akiyoshi Chosokabe, director at KONAMI; and Shohei Tada, producer at KONAMI.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga, though nothing new and has some story issues, is still a love letter to Contra fans just wanting to shoot stuff."
Who’s down for some old-school, challenging, curse-word-inducing fun?
We’re happy to inform gamers that Contra: Operation Galuga provides just that; and it provides a lot of it. Contra: Operation Galuga is a remake/sequel to one of the most difficult, yet satisfying NES games ever created. It provides old-school gameplay for that familiar feel, but also provides enough new features and mechanics that it feels new and refreshing.
WayForward... have remade the original Contra arcade game from 1987 in the form of Contra: Operation Galuga.
An overall very informative interview and I'm looking forward to checking it out later this year.
