Konami Japan has announced Contra Rebirth is coming to the Wii via WiiWare in Japan this summer.
Not much is known about the game other than the fact that it's supposedly an all-new Contra adventure, borrowing liberally from previous titles in the series, similar to Gradius Rebirth. By looking at the screenshots, the game has a distinct Contra III: Alien Wars feel, which is a good thing... because that game freakin' ruled. Contra Rebirth will feature cooperative support, likely offline only.
The title will be available on in Japan on May 11 for 1,000 Wii Points. There are no details on a North American release at this time.
[Thanks, darkair!]

Contra is great, but why not try something new, Konami? Are you so trapped in a 2D means of design that you can't try anything new at all on Wii Ware?
I really don't understand you lot. Snatcher/Policenauts is crying out for some DS/PSP love and you give us this.
A real head scratcher.
they should release Contra 4 in PAL territories so that I can play with someone, though. I know few people that own a DS and even fewer that are willing to import games...
The only terrible Contra games I can think of are the two PSX titles which were farmed out to Appaloosa Interactive and Contra Force on the NES, but that doesn't count because it wasn't a Contra game at all.
Castlevania Rebirth next?
It's games like this that makes the Wii worth owning.
THAT THE BEST F'N CONTRA!!!!!!!
SHEENA !!!!!!!!!!!!!
