Classic Contra Action Reborn On the Wii

It's a good week to be a fan of old school co-op!  One of the most beloved franchises in co-op history is headed to the Wii.  The appropriately titled Contra Rebirth will be released on Japan's WiiWare service next week.  As you can tell from the screenshots above, Contra Rebirth is quite retro, looking like it popped up out of a Super Nintendo cartidge.

As a classic game fan, I love to see new entries in old school series released on download services.  Mega Man 9 seems to have gone over well, and I am sure Contra Rebirth will too.  No word yet on when, or if, Rebirth will hit other regions, but we sure hope it's soon.  In the meantime, check out the first gameplay footage.

I loved Contra on the NES, but it was so darn difficult if you didnt use the Konami code.

Oh man I know what you mean, I remember playing it again not too long ago and beating it thinking.... man this game seemed so much longer when i was little.

Still one the classics that will forever be held in warm regards for me.

Got it on the 360 arcade if anyone wants to play .

There was a time I could beat the original without taking a single hit.

Then Super C came out and made me feel like a noob. And then my obsession was renewed.

Just learned they are also doing the live show on tuesdays, 9pm est.
That 360 bundle isnt too shabby...but Im not going to risk getting trampled...
A few years ago, a neighbor offered my wife a Super Nintendo with five games, all for $25, before it went into their garage sale
Hopefully folks had fun. Got quite a few matches in, but I'm signing off for the night.
