Me andContraare pissed. For some reason, Konami and Arc Systems have totally forsaken us. Their upcoming XBLA/PSN release,Hard Corps Uprising, is aContragame. It just is. To play it is to play a game from theContraseries. This is an undeniable fact. Just watch the video and see for yourself. For some reason, Konami doesn’t want us to think that though. They are intentionally keeping theContraname away from this game.
I’m not sure why Konami is up to here. Conrad Zimmerman’s only guess is that Konami made an exclusive deal with Nintendo to putContragames on Nintendo consoles for some undetermined length of time. The last twoContragames,Contra 4andContra ReBirth, are both on Nintendo systems. Did Nintendo pay for that exclusivity?
Whatever the reason for this naming mishap, don’t be fooled;Hard Corps Uprisingis the nextContragame. If you are a fan of this series, you have to buy it. It’s really fun. There are some new features, like dashing and some guys with point hats and…
Yeah, it’s totally aContragame.
Also, the name is subject to change, so maybe Konami will get on the right track and call this game something appropriate like “Contrakills the alien KKK” or “ContraHD Sexy Pirates” or whatever will sell the most downloads.
