I love the Corps!

Peoww News

The ever-savage Contra series (seriously Super Contra can fuck off) continues.  Konami’s famous run and gun arcade game is getting a modern makeover with Contra: Hard Corps on PSN and XBLA.  It is based on the Sega Megadrive game of the same name but with neat 3D visuals (fortunately on a 2D plane).

Co-op play, harsh achievements and difficulty that makes you weep are to be expected but the new ‘Rising’ mode promises an easier ride for people who want all the fun of Contra but less of the broken joypads and fun.

It’s expected in “Winter 2010” which judging by our barely working fingers is er… now?  Price isn’t set but we’ll be frankly astonished if it’s less than 1200M$P.
