Contra 4 fans can keep squinting at their shitty little DS screen. This is the TRUE modern 2-D Contra sequel. Very cool. Now watch it take 6 months to come out in the US. I'll be picking up a Wii Points card today nonetheless.

Sad day when stuff like Contra isn't considered worthy of a retail release.
Fantastic news. Let's hope this gets a release like Mega Man 9 did and eventually hits the 360 Live Arcade. Even though I own a Wii, I'm not to fond of the system and would much rather have it on the 360.
Here's to more classic franchises getting 2D sequels on modern consoles!

I will be buying that!
Excellent, I reckon I'll be getting this one. Now Konami have Contra sorted they can get to work on a new 2D Castlevania for download.
Looks good but I don't play downloaded games on my Wii. Hopefully this comes to 360. The 360's controller was made for shooters.

But then again I'm pretty sure it will be released in a compilation at some point in time, if not getting it's own retail release.

I'd say "let's hope for the best," but I'm not going to kid myself - I have no Wii and especially no Virtual Console, Japanese or otherwise.
I'll pay 19.99 if it gets a PSP UMD release. Just like the fact that I'll never experience Mega Man 9(except for the demo stage) unless it gets some sortof physical release.
Though unlike what Ed said, the graphics really don't look that bad. Though in trying to keep in style to what the original games were, the characters look pretty stupid when lying down shooting.
Even though the DS is smaller, the system will be closer to you. So the size will be increased as there is a different point of vision. You'll be focused on a single part so the size won't really matter.
If a handheld was about 5 feet away from you, then there's a difference because it's obvious that small screen at a greater distance away will be much smaller than a 42 inch tv at the same distance.

It looks like it will be $10 if thats what 1000 Wii points is the equivalent to. Thats not a bad price for a new Contra game.
