Konami pre-E3 presentation teases new Contra with a fiery 'C'
29
If you didn't make it to the end of Konami's pre-E3 presentation, you might have missed one of the most exciting clips therein. In the last few seconds, a fireball flies in from off-screen, forming the Contra "C," and teases: "They're coming." Not soon enough! Check out at 54:30 in the video below.

@The Wicker Man Penicillin might clear that up, but she might want to consult an actual doctor instead. I don't even play one on t.v.

@MrGreen what makes you think we are trying to outsmarts him? We are all the joystiq family. He's like a brother we like to mess with. Troll is like the black sheep. Baby Sea Tuna is like the kidder that's funny only when he feels like it. You're like the brother that likes funny jokes but don't give them unless the moment is right... but rarely

No way.
The 2-D games are by far the worst in the series.
Everyone knows that the best game in the franchise was Legacy of War.

Wow, what a great way to tease a new game! Nice when developers give people incentives to make it to the end of things, I love it.

...Y'know what Konami should be doing is getting on the phone with SNK Playmore and announcing a Contra/Metal Slug crossover. This should be the next logical step.

@SteveMcQuark : I've pretty much given up on Konami as far as Contra is concerned. They just can't seem to recapture the essence of what made the original Contra games so awesome. I'd like to see Contra 3: the Alien Wars redone in HD graphics. I'd buy that game twice.

Contra 4 was pretty good game, so glad this series is still going on!

Even thoug there is no way im even remotely correct about this I so hope the C stands for Castlevania. Sequel to Harmony of Despair!
Oh well, i guess a multiplayer Contra in the same style would be Epic!
