i want 2 get this. but idk where. but btw me and my friend are awesome at contra series. we only have played super c, rebirth, and 3. but sadly he is not 2 much on handheld gaming. but i got a dsi and lite. but COME ON SERIOUSLY?! WATS THE POINT OF 2 CARTRIDGES?!?!?!? THAT MAKES NO SENSE!
This is probably the hardest game i've ever played on the DS.Not just challenging,it's granite rock-hard.I only managed to beat the game on easy so-far.Maybe i'll bother doing this on normal,if i don't destroy the cart out of frustration that is.
@benfirst wtf. ur just like those ps3 fanboy caring about graphics. do graphics make this game better? it doesnt change the fact of being fun and i think NES graphics r awesome
Well I'm glad you didn't make me have to point out that first item. But yeah, it could be annoying for some gamers. But true Contra fanatics will look right past it ^_^
about the challenges: the last speedrun. need i say more?
about contra 3: probably too advanced in terms of graphics. DS cartridge has limited space. But ur right, that does suck not 2 have c3, because ds has perfect control layout 4 an snes game, and c3 is the first of what i call power contra style games (the other was hard corps. thats because they have ridiculously good weapons but r still ridiculously tough.
I haven't finished all the challenges. I still have six more or so. Just haven't taken the time to go back, but I would definitely like to since I've gone so far. But yeah, they're toughies. As for C3 though, I really doubt it couldn't fit on a DS cart. SNES games aren't particularly large, and we've seen games with far more content and graphics fit on them. I can't see the problem. Methinks it was something else.
Great review I am dieing to pick this up as i live in UK it will be pretty hard I must say, You're right Contra III would have been an fantastic addition That was my favorite Contra but that can change if I can get my hands on this one.
I appreciate your sentiments...and I'm quite surprised this title hasn't hit the UK yet. For such a hardcore franchise like this one.....wow. Yeah, III would've been THE complete extra, but the game is awesome as-is ^_^
I guess Contra isnt that big in over here and they are called Probotector lol but I luckily had an american copy along side an american snes back in the day :D
Have it.Though i think its a more "Shoot Em Up"y.Meaning you beat it once in life you can beat it over and over and over and a pro that plays for the first time will lose.Though its still great.
Good review. Your video footage was nice and there was no shaky cam (really popular for DS reviews I have noticed). I agree with everything you said as I am playing Contra 4 currently and am in love with it. MY only gripe is the lack of Contra III which is really nitpicky.
We thank you for your comment Pilon and are glad you enjoyed what Justin had to bring to the table for this game.
For clarifying purposes though, the reason why he criticizes the absence of Contra III is because of the inclusion of Contra and Super C. He was disappointed that WayForward skipped on TAW, and felt that the developers would've scored an ace if they'd ported that game into the software as well. Still, it's obvious that he loves this game, as you do as well. Thanks a lot :)
Good review: thanks for uploading!

The reason Contra III Alien Wars isn't in Contra 4 is because there is SO MUCH OTHER STUFF that there is actually NO ROOM LEFT IN THE CARD.

I know this game has a 2 player option, and some unlockables. 2 questions though:
A) Can you only play 2-player if both players have the game, or can you "DS Download Play?"
B) I hear the unlockables include the first 2 "Contra" games. Is this true, and is it hard to unlock them?
