Borrowed this from a thread in the DS section:

This is is the basic summary:

  • 20th anniversary Virtual Museum - this provides a virtual history of the franchise since the early 80s with box art, screenshots, and other art.
  • Unlockable Games - The NES versions of Contra and Super C are unlockable
  • 5 Unlockable characters, including Probotector from the European version of Contra games
  • 2 Unlockable digital comic books from long-time contra artist, Atsushi Tsujimoto
  • An interview with Contra producer Nobuya Nakazato

http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/14323/Tons_of_Bonus_Content_For_Contra_4.html

This looks like a great package. But hopefully the Contra 4 game itself is the main attraction and the bonus content just extra freebies.

Sounds good so far. But I'm still going to hold out on reviews of the main game.

The fact that it comes with Contra and Super C has me sold. That's worth the price tag right there.

I'll give you a review. In this game you shoot stuff and stuff blows up! Sometims you jump but, jumping doesn't give you any points. So I say, "Just run n' gun and always keep shooting," :wink:

Seriously, have some faith and pre-order the damn game. It's going to be freaking awesome!

Damn that is an excellent list of Contra goodness to come with the game but I'm also hoping that Contra 4 is the main focus and that it turns out to be a solid game. Too bad Contra III didn't also come with the package. Now that would have been the ultimate Contra deal.

And yet, we Rush'n'Attack fans are still left out in the cold. Where is the love Konami?? Where is the love?

Anyway yep, that is a pretty sweet deal. I guess the big question is will the original Contra and Super C have at least some wifi playability so that you can play with a friend? Contra solo is good and all, but playing that with a friend was always the big attraction for me.

I don't know about Super C, but isn't the Contra on X-box Live the arcade version? I always thought that Contra was one of the rare instances where the console version was superior to the arcade version.

Hmmm im not too sure on that one actually, but you may be right. I still gotta get Alien Wars on the Wii too, that was always my favorite one.

^ Xbox live has the arcade version of Super C and just like the original Contra, the NES version is better.

The crazy thing about this is according to hands-on it's suppose to be good. :?

Though the final judgement will come when I push the cart into my DS.

Agreed Review Scores = Garbage IMO (if that's what he was referring too)

I would even go far as to reviews in general. I still remember that whole SSX Blur BS where all review sites but IGN claimed that those "ubertricks" were "impossible" or "broken". How about actually try not to suck at the game. The only person a give 100% for when determining a game is me. :)
