Contra 4 Musings
Friday, March 14th, 2008
Hopefully the portion of the gaming populace that will at some point read this is familiar with Contra 4. Just in case you’re not, here’s a summary (skip this if you’ve already played it).
Contra 4 for the DS is (as of this writing) the latest 2D release of the Contra series, Konami’s classic chronicle of run-and-gun action where everything that moves can kill you just by touching you. It was designed with a very similar engine to Contra 3: The Alien Wars, as it incorporates the same weapon-switching move, but it also throws together a lot of elements from the whole series.
