contra IV screens if anyone cares.

aside from the increased view, i don't see much special about this game.  i'll probably get it anyway for nostalgic reasons.

I care, thanks for posting these.  I'm interested to see how this works with the long screen.

That bottom one you posted reminds me of the SNES Alien III game.

Looks a little too faithful for my tastes.  It looks like a 16-bit game.  I dig retro as much as the next guy (that isn't a ninthing), but I'd like my sequels to be pushing the edges of things.

looks - OK - but it also just looks like fan service for casuals....

"Oh yeah - ! - I played contra on the NES!"

Yer not a real man unless yer playin the arcade version - contra NES could be flipped 9-10 times on one rest if you had the time....

I think it looks pretty great... the aesthetic reminds me of a cross between classic Contra and IREM/Nazca 2-D (that last bit may mostly be due to some of the color choices used, like the aqua for the water). But I've got some hesitations, namely how the break between the screens comes into play (I fucked up in YIDS more often than not due to the gap, and also because some levels in that game were designed pretty poorly), and will 4 player co-op be just a tad TOO chaotic?

um is this really the best the DS can do with 2D?  I though it has N64ish power?

Yea, I never understood the people who thought NES-Contra was hard.

Arcade Contra is not hard either, I got the one-credit achievement easy.
