Looks great.  I'm glad they're sticking to the roots of the series.  It's a damn shame that the PSOne has ruined so many game franchises by trying to make them 3D. 

Here's a great quote from the developers:

"New Super Mario Bros. is a huge inspiration for us," Hulett explains. "Nintendo looked back and created a game that was based on the original Super Mario, not Mario 3 or Mario 64, and made a game that feels like the original. That's exactly what we want to do here with Contra. We've gone back to Contra III for the controls, the weapon system, even the platforming, which is something that was lost in the later games. Even though the characters are really nicely animated, it doesn't get in the way of the gameplay; we've made sure the game controls exactly like Contra III, except that the X button controls the grappling hook and L selects the weapons. Anyone who's played Contra III on Virtual Console recently should be able to jump right into Contra 4 and feel right at home."

I loved That game on My Fake 8 bit nintendo clone From Asia. so many memories!!

Minor note, there's already a Contra 4. I believe that was the Genesis, Contra the Hard Corps [my personal fav, anyway].

Looks awesome. At first I was a little disappointed at the fact that this was coming from the people that gave us Ping Pals, but after looking at some of the game-play videos I can tell this will turn out great!

They also did sigma star saga which was quite good but too repetitive

[h8uthemost]

Hell yeah. Very, very, sweet.

And I'm also glad they're not continuing that 3D crap. Besides, most 3D games on the DS suck.

This is looks to like one of those games that I'm actually going to purchase.

i love the contra series, and im glad this is coming to the ds, now we just need a good fighter for ds, something like mortal kombat or Street fighter or marvel vs capcom type of thing.

Gunstar heroes should be made for ds too

Gameplay vid looks sweet.  I love the classic music.  However, what it really needs is a "hold" button where you can stay in one place and shoot in all directions without having to run.

Looks nice, I really wasn't expecting them to even use classic sounding music too.

Now I just hope it's as hard as the first one was (sans 30 life up trick).
