A Contra 4-esque Object On The Way
You know all of these “late to the party” movie sequels we’re getting lately that are coming around ten years later? You know, like Live Free or Die Hard this weekend and then Indiana Jones 4 in around a year? Video games can do just that too. Contra 4 for the DS will be hitting the system sometime later this year. This news had made the rounds last week, but I remained somewhat skeptical due to the fact that the development of the game had been practically outsourced, but recent developments have me hopeful.
1up / EGM recently got thier grimy little hands on a preview build of the game, and they seem to be mighty impressed. A promising comment from one of the producers is that New Super Mario Bros. was a huge inspiration for them when it was time to take the old school formula to the new school system. Basically, it’s still the old game as we all know and love it with some modern enhancements that keep it from feeling dated. There’s much more detail in a wonderful in-depth article available by hitting the link above. It seems that the designers and producers are taking the development very seriously, in hopes that gamers will be equally serious when it hits later this year.
