Fantastic news, it looks like it has similar visuals to Contra 3 and IV. Even though I suck at the Contra games I love them. Definitely a must buy for me! Sadly it will probably take several months to come here even though it is supposed to come out in Japan on May 18th.

So just hang in there. While were waiting for games like Contra Rebirth, and Bubble Bobble we get to play greats like Happy Penguins give you Hugz.

I'm making a small effort to make sure that the rest of the forums are more colorful (pics & videos) than the talkback section.
tinypic is our friend, very quick & easy to use.

I have Contra and Super C for the NES, but the only times when I could make any real progress in them was when I played co-op with my brother. We had to use the lives code though... he didn't need it, but I sure did! These days I can't even get past the first stage...

Ya we'll see, Contra 4 burned me out.

I'm all over this.

I liked 8-bit Contra more but overall we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.

This. I was just about to post:

"I'll get excited for this when i finish Contra 4"

What a surprise. Is Wayforward developing this? As far as I know, the people who made Konami's awesome games before 1998 have now left the company. (AKA Treasure, Good Feel)

Still looks great though.

Nintendo Life said the Gradius Rebirth team is doing it.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #9 on:** May 08, 2009, 12:35:29 PM »

If it is like Contra IV I may pass but if it is like the AMAZING SUPER GREAT STUNNING Contra 3 I'm so buying this.

I really liked Gradius Rebirth so I am looking forward to this. I hope it comes out this year for US WiiWare.

Wasn't Gradius Rebirth a new game in the series? I never played it.

Contra 4 plays like 1/2 (from what i remember playing back in the day... mainly dying.) Super Contra III was the best one, but it was probably easier (i actually beat it, alone) than the rest. I'm hoping this new one is like III

Contra 3 had fantastic boss battles and was so memorable because of the variety it had.

Yeah I believe so, it looks like a SNES game which is neat and I really like the customizable controls and for high score people it has online rankings. I think that it's worth the 1000 Wii Points.

It also let you hold L+R to let you use both weapons in that awesome jump move that I loved using but always got me killed... GOOD TIMES!

Contra IV had the problem that it was on a damn portable. I want to play Contra co-op in the living room, DAMMIT!

So yeah this gives me a chance. My only concern is that those pics only have ONE PLAYER! Come on, Konami! Nobody plays Contra one player! Show us co-op so that we have no fear that you guys are fucking up huge and not including it. Though since there is a lot of space on the screen for a second status bar I think we're safe.

vudu · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2009, 03:05:21 PM »

Co-op has already been confirmed. What isn't quite clear is whether it's local co-op, online co-op or both.

EasyCure · « **Reply #20 on:** May 08, 2009, 03:16:22 PM »

If it had online Co-op this would be a must-buy game. One of the reasons i can't go back and finish Contra 4 is the fact that its kinda boring alone.

They HAVE to have local co-op. It's fucking Contra! Online co-op would be a great feature but when everyone is on the same screen there is no excuse to not offer local multiplayer.

Hell, that's a good topic for a different thread. It used to be the online play was a bonus and you never really knew for sure if you would get it. Now it's so common that old-fashioned multiplayer is no longer a sure thing. Why just swap one for the other?

I'm assuming local co-op. It would be incredibly stupid to not offer that. For me the absence of it would be a complete deal breaker.

Ian complaining before there is anything to complain about. Amazing!

I don't think Ian's comment is a complaint, rather just a statement. And for alot of people its probably a valid one.

Funny how every topic he posts in has to turn into a rant of some kind. This is about CONTRA REBIRTH, not "let's rant about co-op that may or may not appear a certain way". It just goes right to the core that unless he can get angry about something he doesn't have anything good to say. If they reveal it is online co-op only then you can rant but before then it seems unnecessary.
