Two do-wanty games are probably headed our way from Konami. Both were let out of the bag by the folks at the ESRB, who had to drop a rating on them first. We're always poking around to see what's coming up, but this time the folks at Kotaku beat us to it.
First (in my mind) is the really cool/quirky PlayStation 2 title Shadow of Destiny, which has now been rated for a PSP release. Back in the day, I only managed to play through this time-traveling adventure once. Knowing that it has multiple endings and story paths, I'm more that willing to pick up a re-release on the PSP.
The other is even more of a no-brainer. It's Contra Rebirth, now making an appearance on the Wii. We already kind of knew this was coming. I'm betting it will be 1,000 Wii points, and that the only co-op you will be doing will be local. I hate when people say "dust off your Wii," but seriously: dust off your Wii.

I've listened to plenty of videogame musical covers in the seven years I've worked at Destructoid. Yet, this is the first time I've heard of a musical cover montage with a Middle-Eastern twist to them. There's even some games covered here I'd never expect, like Alley Cat.
