Overview
Konami and WayForward are calling it quits Cons: Operation Galuga for all current consoles. The press release contains additional information:
Classic Roots
Cons: Operation Galuga returns to the series’ classic roots and is a new version of the original NES/Arcade Contra game from the 1980s. Iconic weapons and environments meet new stages, new enemies and bosses, new game mechanics, a revamped powerup system and modern graphics and sound.
Storyline
Fan favorites and elite Contra soldiers Bill Rizer and Lance Bean are once again sent into battle against the terrorist group ‘Red Falcon’, who have turned the once peaceful island of Galuga into a war zone where the fate of humanity now hangs in the balance.
Cooperative Gameplay
Two players can team up for coop battles in story mode and up to four players can experience arcade mode together, running, jumping and shooting through eight stages. They end up in the jungle, near a waterfall and a hovercycle ride through an enemy base is also on the program. Iconic weapons and attacks such as Lasers, Scatter Shot and the Homing Missiles return now with the ability to combine two weapons of the same type to increase firepower and redundant weapons can be sacrificed to unleash breathtaking overload abilities. With three difficulty levels and a variety of additional challenge options, the intense action will appeal to Contra veterans and newcomers alike.
