Contra 4 hands-on at Pocketgamer.co.uk.

"One of the greatest things about gaming is the memories it creates. Countless hours spent in front of a television in the middle of the night, jamming on a NES controller or squinting to see the black and white screen on a Game Boy – all game veterans can fondly recall such experiences. New platforms have played host to innumerable remakes and sequels to classic games, but precious few succeed in tapping into that excitement found in our best memories.

Enter Contra 4. Hitting a new platform with old school gameplay, Contra 4 marks a concerted effort by Konami to capture the essence of the venerable action series and bring it exclusively to Nintendo DS. While new features and enhanced visuals ensure the game will hold its own among the current generation, the game is aiming to the series' roots with its arcade-style action."
