Prepare to have your minds blown: Contra 4 box art is out of hand photo

A kind soul over at NeoGAF secured and scanned a copy of the sell-sheet for Konami's upcoming DS title, Contra 4. Maybe you've heard of it, but if you haven't (I worry about you), I dare you to tell me that this isn't the kind of box art that would make you spill cash out of your wallet. It screams "must buy," even more than the Power Rangers Time Force/Ninja Storm GBA double-pack released a few years ago.

The sell sheet also reveals the game's release date as November 12. Additionally, and even more exciting, is that it also promises DS Download Station marketing support between September and December of this year. The last DS Download Station I checked had some crummy demos in it, including some throwaway game we rated an 8.8.

Has anyone seen any of these DS Download Stations featuring Contra 4 out in the wild? I'll travel up to 147 miles to get it.

Bad Dudes!

Maybe their new strategy is to kill the aliens with homoeroticism. In which case the less armor the better!

Maybe they were trained under the "no shoulders no shot" school of world saving?

Dude that's amazing. If it's half as good as Contra 3, I will be pleased. =)

I dare tell you I wouldn't buy that game based on that homosexual cover. I bet they made out after that battle. What are you 10 years old? Still buying games based on the cover art. Contra4 on DS is gonna be like every other contra game, hard as hell and short!

Yes! I am so impressed by the entire retro-esque campaign for this game. I mean look at that box art, it's right out of the mid 80's. This is awesome.

"Out of hand" is probably the best way you could have described this art.

I am ready and willing to get my alien massacre on.

They look like bad enough dudes to save the president IMO.

Jesus Christ, between the artwork, the music by virt and the fact that this is Contra Motherfucking 4, my frothing demand increases.

So old-school, it hurts. I'd even say...it's totally "bad."

That's awesome. Hopefully they'll add online co-op, but I doubt it.

Totally bad? Or Totally...Rad? (Rad being the hot word of the late 80's and 90's....along side Cowabunga)
