Just picked it up, & it's great! IMO, probably the best Contra in a looong time. Actually, I think I like it better then Contra 3. I haven't beaten it yet, I'm playing on easy, & it's not a difficult as everyone has led me to believe. Though, I hear normal really bumps up the difficulty in comparison. But, I want to atleast beat it in easy, so I can start unlocking Contra & Super C. I think it even has the 2 old Probotector's on it, though, I don't think they're that much different.

How's the music? Virt did the music and I demand to know how awesome it is, especially the new stuff. I may pick this game up. I just completed Phoenix Wright 3 which is teh awsum.

yeah..first i was skeptic since it was again outsourced to a dev. team in spain (or so). but since i saw some pics and vids, it looks quite promising. definitely will get one, when it comes out here.

A dude on Virt's comment thing (http://virt.vgmix.com/?p=73#comments) basically said it was just the Contravirt segments all over again. But as a shameless Konami/Virt groupie, I'll pick this up anyway. (when I get a DS) :)

What system is this on? Lately I've been listening to the snowfield music (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/Contra-Snowfield.mid) from the original NES contra.

It's for DS, & as far as I'm concerned, the music is awesome! The game is a pleasant surprise. I was probably going to get it either way, but, it deffinitly turned out to be good for old schooler's like me :) I hope PC Gunjin is this good!
I might add, that all the music is very reminicsent of past Contra games, & some start out very similar to various Contra songs, but are still original songs. Good stuff :clap:
-
I just started playing it, and I have to say its not bad, they have f*cked up contra games in the past, but this one is pretty good and respects the original alot, and so I have to say they did a pretty good job. I think the graphics could have been made a tiny bit better, but they obviously wanted to keep it with the old school feel.
-
Yeah, I'd prefer it look like Contra 3(though better), then Shattered Soldier personally.
-
The problem with Shattered Soldier, from what I recall, is that it didn't have any color. Everything was brown. At least that's how I remember it.

Yeah, that sounds about right! Though, I know I didn't like the weapon system in it, I prefer the good ol pick up a weapon when you find it, as opposed to having 3 weapons already at your disposal.
