Kultaisella 1980- ja 1990-luvulla parasta ikinä oli Konamin pyssyttelevä Contra, joka Euroopassa tunnettiin aluksi nimellä Probotector. Ja samoilla askelmerkeillä on hyvä jatkaa. WayForward julkaisee keväällä 2024 pelin Contra: Operation Galuga, ja Nintendo Lifelle puhunut ohjaaja Tomm Hulett painotti, että kyseessä on oikeasti ihan uusi Contra. Toki niitä perinteitä ei unohdeta, sillä ei tietenkään.
Contra: Operation Galuga julkaistaan PC:lle, Playstationille, Switchille ja Xboxille vuoden 2024 ensimmäisen neljänneksen aikana.
"An important detail though — this is not an HD remaster or enhanced port. As far as the game is concerned — the stage designs, your abilities, challenges you'll face — this is a brand-new Contra. Hopefully, a great foundation for future entries to build on."
"We definitely reference games beyond the original, but I don't want to get into too much detail. I'll leave that to the "10 Things You Missed In Operation Galuga" articles post-launch! But as far as overall inspiration, I want Operation Galuga to fully encapsulate the Contra "canon" to this point. Meaning all the side-scrolling Contras. Every game has its fans, and those fans have waited many, many years for a return to form — OG needs to deliver on that. As an entry point for newcomers, as well, I want to showcase why Contra has been a beloved action franchise for 35 years."
