Please keep all discussion of Contra 4 for the DS in this thread.

The fact that this game does not have wifi multiplayer is a huge disappointment. The fact that I can play an emulated version of Contra 3 across the country, but not a brand new game for a system that has a pre-existing online network is sad.

I completely agree with you on this. Games like Contra need to have wifi multiplayer- it would have totally sold me on it.

Does anyone know if it has single cart play?

Nope, the game requires two copies of the game to play.

Really, the most disappointing thing about this game, is the lack of multiplayer when it comes to the unlockable original Contra and Super C. You already can connect to play the main game with a friend, why can't you with the two original ones? It was just lazy. I can live without the wifi support, though it would have been a real nice touch. Also, having different characters was nice, but when playing with a friend, they are forced to be a recolor of whoever player 1 is, so you can't mix and match different characters, which is lame to say the least. Ultimately though, I enjoyed the game. It did beg the question though, can a game be too difficult? When playing with a friend, we can only reach stage 4 on the normal difficulty. No Contra is easy, but this one really kicks it up a bit.
