Contra 4 hands-on at IGN.
"Few games are dearer to the old school gamer's heart than Contra. The chaos (bliss) and challenge that erupted on screen - dodging deadly enemy heads, turrets, falling boulders and giant chasms - has not been duplicated. Wayforward Technologies is attempting to change all that.
Contra 4 mashes together what we love from the original and a few choice elements from Super Contra and Contra III: Alien Wars in an attempt to return to the franchise's roots. The one-level E3 demo was homage to the first Contra level - complete with exploding bridge and end-of-level fortress."
