It’s not-so-new news anymore, but I’m stoked after seeing the screenshots of Contra 4. Plus, being the first numbered sequel in about 15 years gives us legitimate grounds to pretend every game since The Alien Wars (Excluding perhaps Hard Corps) never happened.
(I admit, I’ve never played Shattered Soldier or Neo Contra. The PS1 abortions combined with persistent moans of “TOO HAWD” turned me off to paying, well, about what they’re worth used. Feel free to attempt persuading me.)
Shantae’s proven that WayForward can do platforming well. I’m hopeful that it will beat out the rather watery and dull action of SSSÂ and carry the vibe of the NES/SNES editions….
I have some sketches to scan in later this afternoon. Weird stuff.
