With respect to a story– well, what story? This is Contra we’re talking about, not The Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy. That being said, including the occasional voice-acted grunt of “let’s party” or some other cliched ’80s phrase is campy and fits perfectly with the series. The audio of the game is serviceable, with the same MIDI soundtracks and sound effects that have withstood the test of time. Put quite simply, it’s a wonderful thing. Not only that, but the graphics have the appearance of a Super NES title while this may be a turn-off for some, by developing the title for Wii, characters can have more fluid animations, explosions can be even bigger, and the game can be all the more outlandish. The Wii Remote is held horizontally, with the D-pad controlling the movement of the hero, and the 1 and 2 buttons handle jumping and firing. Konami, with its recent ReBirth series, has done just that, and Contra ReBirth follows suit of a classic being given a new entry while retaining the same simplistic features not only does it retain what made the original titles so great, but it’s also a solid entry in its own right.įor those who have played any Contra title before– more than likely any reader of this review– a comment on Contra ReBirth‘s gameplay is unnecessary, as all of the same mechanics have been maintained.

However, developers also saw an opportunity to update classics, such as Mega Man and Blaster Master, by creating a new title that retains the double-digit-bit glory that makes their predecessors so endearing today. On one hand, there’s an entire backlog of classic titles that are loved and adored by millions the world over, made accessible by way of Virtual Console on the other hand, new titles that normally would not be given the green light now have a chance with the lower cost of entry to the market via WiiWare. Upon its release, the Wii Shop channel opened a plethora of doors as to what gamers could experience.
