Back in December last year we heard how Konami and WayForward's upcoming release Contra: Operation Galuga would be getting a physical release from Limited Run containing the full game on a Switch cartridge.
Now, in an update, Limited Run Games has revealed the standard, classic edition, and ultimate edition of the game. Pre-orders will open later today on 1st March 2024 and will close on 14th April 2024. Here's the full rundown of each version available:
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not universally applied, 2024's best shooters tended to follow a particular cadence of shooting, smashing, stomping, vaporizing, obliterating, bashing, and/or annihilating with a partner or several partners in tow. If you weren't surviving the post-nuclear fallout wastelands of The Zone, odds are you were in the shoes of a super-solider dedicated to their cause: God and Country, Super Earth and Managed Democracy, or The Emperor and The Imperium of Man. Perhaps there weren't as many prominent new IPs to account for in this genre, but at least that's balanced out with wall-to-wall testosterone-laden action.

Thr guns feel so good, not just because of the dualsense, but the sound and "feel". Helldivers 2 is awesome.
100%
Helldivers II is one of the best current illustrations of 'game feel' beyond the Dualsense gimmicks (which are also nice). The years of Arrowhead toiling with the shooting truly paid off.
A legendary action classic comes back to life with a brand new remake, and both Dali and J.J. seem to think it does the machine gun loaded job well enough.
"Contra: Operation Galuga switches on the time machine and bags some 1980s action hero glory - a near-perfect slice of retro run and gun fun."

Cool there’s a PS5 version too.
