Chris Buffa (Modojo): Unlike so many ill-fated video game franchises, Contra managed to endure. There were the glory years in the late 80s/early 90s, when we enjoyed the original Contra (NES), Contra III: The Alien Wars (SNES) and Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis). Then, the series slipped into a mini coma in the mid to late 90s with Contra: Legacy of War and C: The Contra Adventure for PlayStation One.
"The Contra series is poised to make a comeback thanks to fan favorite-developer WayForward and Konami. Contra: Operation Galuga is a 2.5D reimagining of the original Contra arcade/NES game that will launch in early 2024. The remake looks to retain the series' traditional cooperative run-and-gun action, and we're all about it. How close will Operation Galuga be to the original game, though? Let's compare screenshots and see!" says Co-Optimus.
I am all over this
I wonder if the extra lives code will be included…
I've been waiting for another decent Contra since Shattered Solider PS2.
Day one for me
As long as it's not hard like the arcade version, I can never get past the waterfall
With River City Girls 2 arriving next week, it's time to look at the company's best!
Contra is a classic run and gun shooter from Konami that has seen many followups since its debut in 1987 as an arcade game. It would seem Konami saw fit
Contra has fallen since SNES days. Last good contra was PS2 Shattered Solider ........PS4 version was Crap!!!!
Will Konami make a decent Contra again..... probably not.
Shattered soldier PS2, Contra 4 DS. Since then total crap. Gone are the days, of the amazing Nes, Snes, Megadrive versions. Luckily still play them:)
wasn't there a teaser before about new Contra game? I think a new one will be on 3DS
