In case it slipped previous your radar, Contra is making, effectively, one other comeback. After the abortive Contra: Rogue Corps launched to a tepid response from followers and critics alike again in 2020 and didn’t reinvigorate the collection, the model has been on ice ever since. Now, Konami has partnered with developer WayForward to hopefully give the collection the right revival it deserves.
Up to now, it’s trying like Contra: Operation Galuga is strictly the kind of sport followers have been ready for since Contra 4 (additionally developed by WayForward) hit Nintendo DS in 2007 and Contra ReBirth launched on Nintendo Wii in 2009. A real, traditional type Contra journey, though on this case with modernized 3D graphics enjoying on a 2D aircraft. You’ll be able to see the newest trailer for the sport proper right here:
Right here’s a bit extra about Operation Galuga from its product web page on the Nintendo web site:
A brand new entry within the legendary Contra collection is right here! Contra: Operation Galuga is an intensive reimagining of the traditional run-‘n’-gun motion sport from the ’80s, that includes fashionable graphics and sound, new phases, new enemies and managers, new play mechanics, an up to date weapons system, and explosive co-op fight for as much as two gamers in Story Mode or 4 gamers in Arcade Mode!
Because the above blurb notes, Operation Galuga is a complete reimagining of the unique NES Contra. Operation Galuga options extra characters (Lucia, Ariana, Stanley Ironside, and Probotector) not discovered within the first sport, as effectively. The place Contra Rogue Corps suffered from deviating approach too removed from the Contra run-n-gun system, WayForward seems to be steering issues again to a extra conventional, traditional take. Hopefully when Operation Galuga launches in early 2024 it will likely be a triumphant reinvigoration of a really traditional online game collection.
