This is what happens when I don't get any sleep because that didn't even make sense. I should have said "or local co-op". Since when is Contra split-screen? That was a rhetorical question
That sucks. I also think the graphics look overly cartoony but the gameplay is what matters most. Your review sounds really good so I don't doubt this is another great Contra entry. But I wish Nintendo remembered that this is 2009, not 1989. Apparently Satoru Iwata still thinks customers do not want online games
