An alien scourge threatens Earth, and you’re humanity’s last hope (unless a friend joins in co-op when it gets too tough) to exterminate this threat with a litany of fantastical, futuristic weaponry. What? Halo? Please. We’re talking about the original Aliens-vs-Super Soldiers gaming trilogy (give or take one or 10 offshoots), and the fourth installment now has a date: Contra 4 hits the Nintendo DS on November 13.
A retail one-sheet for the game showed up on NeoGAF (via Shacknews), revealing the release date along with the satisfyingly old-school box art. So mark your calendar, and get ready for 2D action gaming’s (hopefully) triumphant return with our extensive past coverage and comprehensive Retro Roundup. Halo? It wishes it were this cool.
