Relax GP. He only stated his preference.

Local Co-op is a deal breaker for me as well. Games like this I almost never play alone. I like them for when a buddy comes over.

LOL Orbital sky diving sequence? Not original, but no one has ever had the guts to use it outside of Mecha.

Contra 4 is a fantastic game. The only flaw outside of co-op was that it may have paid too much tribute to pass titles. That and the flame thrower was the worse weapon in the game. They should have copied Contra 3 version.

OK, tangent, but this just reminded me of MDK2. Suddenly, I wish the game would get remade / series would get revisited with Wii pointer controls...

Also, less tangential: did anyone play Shattered Soldier for PS2? I thought it was fantastic, and I enjoyed it thoroughly in one-player mode (though I guess that's because none of my friends were willing to join me in working for 100% on each level).

1UP has videos of the first two levels

Looks good, albeit a bit busy. The over-the-top explosions obstruct enemies and bullets. Makes it difficult to see what's coming at you.

Downloaded this on my Japanese Wii today and I'm enjoying it so far having played the first three levels. The graphical style is a little more cartoony than Contra III for Super NES, with more lively animation and greater use of sprite rotation, but it still comes out looking pretty similar overall. It is more smooth considering the size and number of sprites being pushed around here (and a few neat extra touches like glowing effects), but really that's no more than we should expect from this sort of thing. The music will be instantly familiar to Contra fans, though the instrumentation sounds more reminiscent of Treasure's Genesis games than Contra III.

The trademark Contra crazy setpieces are in evidence so far, the first boss being a fight against a humongous space caterpillar which has you hopping from bits of debris (from a space station that just exploded) as you re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. Oh and if you like fighting robot ninjas that hang upside down from giant missiles, this one's for you!

Any robot pirates? That would make the game perfect!

Looks cool in the video. But they're playing ONE PLAYER! What's the lowdown with multiplayer? I assume it's all fine but just a quick confirmation would be nice. Greg, does it support two players?

Is there a thread for co-op Wii games?

Yoshidious · « **Reply #37 on:** May 12, 2009, 03:43:39 PM »

Two player co-op is in there, yes. Not online, just local. Now everyone can relax!

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 12, 2009, 03:48:21 PM »

WAT NO ONRINE? THIS IS NO TIME TO RELAX, Jill

Hey Barry, where's Chris?

He was last seen in Africa... but he'll be making his comeback to Nintendo later in one of Capcom's NINE hotly anticipated titles to be shown at E3!

The port?

Yeah, that one, Jill. You're in it, too.

So are you, Barry.

****.

So has any Europeans gotten this game?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #44 on:** September 04, 2009, 04:09:07 AM »

Yeah, the first level is so visually busy with explosions and smopke everywhere it's often hard to see the enemies before they kill you...
