Contra 4 DS Preview

Contra 4

1UP has a great preview of this game, here’s a snippet:

It should be little surprise, then, that Konami’s decision to call the next Contra game Contra 4 has caused no small amount of hand-wringing among the series’ fans.

    This’ll go right up there with the likes of Metal Slug. :D /
