The Original NES Contra Returns in Contra: Operation Galuga - Hardcore Gamer
The original Contra on the NES is the stuff of legend – going far beyond what the arcade original did in terms of reaching a fanbase, it has become iconic. Anyone who grew up in that era at least played it or has heard of the Konami code that was just about the only way outside of a Game Genie to beat the game. After a successful re-release of the franchise’s greatest games in the form of the Contra Classic Collectiona cross PC and consoles, the original NES game will be getting its first-ever full-remake with a polygonal art style.
The art style appears to basically be what was used in the most-recent mobile-only Contra game, which does feature nice full-fledged controller support but does have very short stages as a lot of mobile-centric games do.
