Contra 4 DS Preview June 29, 2007
1UP has a great preview of this game, here’s a snippet:
It should be little surprise, then, that Konami’s decision to call the next Contra game Contra 4 has caused no small amount of hand-wringing among the series’ fans. After all, Contra III put in its appearance 15 years ago, and the half-dozen unnumbered sequels since then have strayed further and further away from everything that fans loved about the arcade and NES classics. “Contra 4″ is a clear statement: ignore all those others; this is the first true Contra game since 1992.

I’m all for it, but as a mainstream/normal gamer, it looks a little dated.
^ That’s what a newbie would say.
Since when does judging by its look say whether a game is good or bad? It’s the gameplay that counts.
I’m glad they kept the art style within the 16-bit side-scroll shooter era, since this is a true continuation of the original classic Contra series.
This’ll go right up there with the likes of Metal Slug. \:D/
