do you know if contra 4 will release in uk or if it will release in uk at all?

[VideoGameTakeOut]

It is not coming to the UK at all. SO you're going to have to import it. :(

[AllieRX87]

The difficulty makes the game more fun. I praise it. ^_^

[VideoGameTakeOut]

I agree, but it's not for everyone. Some people just don't like really hard games. I like them as long as they are hard but fair (ie. no cheap hits or deaths) Contra 4 is perfect as far as hard difficulty goes IMO.

[ProDuelist0703]

I am yelling and swearing at my DS as we speak because of this game. Just got DS for Christmas and bought Contra 4 today, and I can't even beat the first level on normal!

[VideoGameTakeOut]

I hate to say I told you so. lol

[SHADEPICASSO]

this game rocks!!! it took me back to the 80's man Im miss those days... by the way its hard as hell!!! video games got sissyfied over the years with games like pokemon. Contra is a game you dont fuck around with LOL

And how do you know it's "illegal"?

[iniche]

"It takes about 3 or so shots to take down even the smallest footsoldier". Just caught that now, and it's false.

i imported it for just over £21 and it is well worth it.

[syxx573]

this isn't a game for children

[Kelli69]

"The game is for the DS... so you might be worried about mini games, touch screen..." No, most 'core gamers know that the DS has tonnes of awesome games to offer that don't involve the touch screen.

The best ds emulator is called no$gba, you need to have a decent computer (meaning xp or higher) other popular emulators are dsemume and ideas, but they're way worse then no$gba. The latest version is 2.6a which is out a long time and there are fake version 2.7's on the web, so don't download them

[guitarhero3o0o]

forgot to mention the multiplayer which is good but no download play / single card play

[iniche]

Yeah. But in the end, I guess they wanted to emphasize on the main game.

[AlucardsQuest]

Well compression technology has gotten so good that they could probably put a whole movie on a DS card with good quality. Contra 4 really doesn't seem to be pushing the system's power until you see the 3D levels (which are very impressive imo).

[iniche]

True. That's where balance came in when it came to space for the main game. I guess they figured it'd be better to give a little something than nothing at all.
