Contra on GBA??

I look over the upcoming GBA game list and find out Contra will release by end of this year!
Contra? Is that used to be almighty Konami masterpiece (Metal Slug, Midnight Resistant and others are so-called "Contra-clone")?

After SNES Contra III-Alien War and Genesis Contra-hardcorp, I've not played any Contra game for almost 6 to 7 years. I don't play PS versions of Contra coz they're not the "real" contra!!!

I wonder if Konami will re-create Contra (well, the Contra team left and establishes Treasure) once again or just do the SNES port?

I'll wait and see

Contra is great nad all but the real bread and butter is Gunstar. We need that game on GBA, Silent!.

Treasure, hear my calls of agaony for a new Gunstar. Please, just one sequel!

I don't know if I should be happy or sad to hear about a new Contra.

Contra used to be the definitive shooter. The first two NES titles were great and the SNES Contra is (IMO) the greatest shooter ever. I never played Hard Corps on the GEN, but I know the PSX Contras were just terrible. If this new GBA title can do the series justice than I'm extremely pleased to see it. If Konami continues the series as they have, then it's just another slag against a once great series. In that case, I say let Contra retain what dignity it once had and stay dead <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0"> .

Everything old is new again! <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

The arcade versions are some awesome shit. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

The 3 continue limit is sort of a challenge, IMO. Although I didn't clear it on one credit, I DID finish it within the 3 credit limit. Maybe I've been "going overboard on the caffeine" as Classic Gaming puts it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

The third game on SNES is probably the pinnacle of the series. Carrying two weapons rocks, especially when you can go ballistic and fire both at a time in a spin attack.

The first 32-bit Contra just isn't Contra. And the second one is even worse. The first level tries slightly with its side view. But soon after that... Hey! <IMG SRC="smilies/envy.gif" border="0"> What's this! I'm in the wrong game! Shouldn't Lara Croft be there instead of the Contra soldier? <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0"> You heard me right, some frankly boring 3D levels.

I'd like to see the GBA Contra be a "Contra: Hard Corps II" that picks up after the Genesis game (with Ray and the others). Contra III is good, but would be harder to port to GBA (the SNES version uses all 6 buttons).

Konami had better keep Appaloosa away from this (and any other future Contra titles).

Gen Contra-hardcorp is super hard.......
I still can't pass level 3.........
and the cheat code to get 99 lives doesnt' work
