The story begins with Bill Rizer, from previous Contra titles, waking up from what appears to be a cryogenic stasis. Is this title a successful reboot for the series or does it need 30 lives to stand up in today’s market? Contra ReBirth attempts to continue this legacy on the Wii with 16-bit graphics and more side-scrolling action than you can fire a Spread Gun at.


Before I begin, take a moment to think back to the hardest game you’ve ever played in your gaming career… besides Battletoads… and Ninja Gaiden… Did Contra cross your mind? If it did, then congratulations! You are among the thousands, perhaps millions of gamers around the world that had your ass handed to you many times over by the sometimes unavoidable showers of gunfire and aliens.
