Konami announced it among its 2004 releases.

For starters, it's going to be entirely in 3D. That alone is troubling, given the last attempt at making Contra into a 3D game. What really gets me, though, is the revelation that this Contra will have no jump button. That's right, it will be the first contra game with no jumping at all. I can't even imagine it.

Plus, it will have autoaiming as well. We don't need autoaiming! Why, in my day, we'd just aim up and walk forward until the bad guy eventually drifted into our bullet streams. That's how we autoaimed.

Fucking GAY >:. Why would Konami do that? I think they should stop making contra games period :/. Unless they want to do it fucking right >:

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing as the team in charge is the same one that produced Shattered Soldier, including Akira Yamaoka, the guy who did some damn good music in SS.

It very might be a half-decent 3D game. But I'd rather see contra be an excellent sidescroller :/. I just don't want to see it be 3D period I guess :/

Exactly.

I could care less if its 3D or whatever, game compinies just need to focus on making good games. Also, how will it be possible to beat a contra game without jumping. Jerks.

But metroid prime is phenomenal.

How could a spin-off be bad?

Especially a Contra one? :)

its gonna be like a new game, so they could easily screw it all up. Some compinies know how to make 3D games, and some don't. I haven't playd any 3D KAnomi games (unless level 2 of the SNES Contra counts), so I am not saying it will be bad.

Also, they're two completely unrelated games. What on earth possessed you to say such a stupid thing, Jay?
