I agree with the posters above. The DS buttons are ill-suited for a game like this. The D-pad is just too damn tiny. Don't even get me started on the dual screen cheapness. The concessions they had to make to get this thing workable on the DS is sad. You simply cannot spread fast paced 2-D Contra action across two screens. It's like playing Contra III on your TV with a big piece of tape right across the middle of the screen. It just doesn't work.

I love the fact that this game exists though. Obviously the developers were true fans of the 2-D Contra's...and it shows. Unfortunately, the hardware ends up taking some of the fun away.
