Retro gaming time, folks. The gameplay video below - courtesy of GameVideos - features the first level of Konami's Contra III: Alien Wars. Check it out.



In this classic SNES shooter, you can either play by your lonesome or join forces with a friend and battle your way through six stages of nonstop running and gunning. Oh, and jumping, too. And dodging bullets while you're ten feet up in the air. Insane acrobatics, man. You can also grab power-ups - which include spread shots, homing missiles, and laser shots - to give yourself an edge and lay a really grand hurting on some alien behind.

You can grab Contra III: Alien Wars at the Wii Shop Channel for 800 Wii Points.

this game is really awesome. its sort of arcadeish but ti defnetly has a fair degree of difficulty. Not to menton the varying gameplay from amost stage to stage.



Only 6 levels. mmm it defnetly seemed to be longer and suspected alot harder when I was 7 I suppose.



Going to go see now if its avalaible for AU ;)

that person found out a little too late, that you're supposed to shoot the heart of that boss, not its head XD.
