After having some good fun with Contra 3, it’s time to move forward as Konami has announced a new the sequel in the series i.e. Contra 4 for Nintendo DS. The publisher ravels the title through a press release. The moderate side-scrolling action game will be an undeviating sequel to the prequel, Contra 3 that is playable on SNES, GB, GBA, NSS, etc. The game starts forward right from the place where Contra 3 Alien Wars leaves off.
The new iteration introduces two new characters named Mad Dog and Scorpion (were named which were the names used for Bill and Lance in the American release of Contra) and a new weapon, “the grappling hook” that will help them take on the alien Black Viper across two screens.
The press release refers to the game as a 2D sides-croller, but it’s vague either they are referring to viewpoint only or graphics as well. Anyway, hope for a full 2D version. The game will be featuring multiplayer mode as well that lets you battle against your enemies while teaming up with other two friends of yours. Press Release here.
Look around for the new game by the end of this year.
