Contra 4 Announced
June 22nd, 2007 Posted in Action, Nintendo DS
Marking the series’ 20th anniversary this year, Konami has announced Contra 4, the first new numbered entry in the franchise in 15 years. Dubbed Contra 4, the game is being developed by WayForward Technologies for the DS and will be released later this year.
The game is set two years after the events of Contra 3 (released in 1992), pitting the major characters against the Black Viper. Contra 4 will retain the series’ 2D perspective and two-player co-op, and will take advantage of the DS hardware, including bosses that span both the portable’s screens.
No further details are known, but more information is expected soon. The last entry in the series was Neo Contra for the PS2, which was released back in 2004.
