Conta IV coming to Nintendo DS

by Dhiram Shah

I happened to stumble across this rather interesting scoop over at IGN’s mail bag. Craig writes “Hi. I work for a video game store and “Contra 4″ for DS just showed up in my POS today. Is this real?” Being a hardcore Contra fan I cant wait to get it for the DS, I wish it will be in 2D.

Retailers seem to get the scoop before we do…love the sales teams at game publishers breaking the news before the marketing can. Konami hasn’t officially announced any update to Contra on the Nintendo DS…but we’ve certainly heard rumblings that a dual-screen rendition (and not the arcade emulation version in Konami Arcade Hits) is being considered. When we know more, we’ll let you know.
