After watching some rough footage for Konami and Arc System Works’ Hard Corps: Uprising, I don’t know if every Contra fan is going to readily get on board – if you’ve met any you know they always bring high expectations and a well warranted hesitation to new entries in the franchise.
Even with the poor quality of the video, the game looks to offer plenty of what I’m after however – speed, gorgeous backgrounds, and character designs and animations that pop with a pulse. Show me some bosses this week and I’m ready to enlist for this anime nostalgia trip.
You can catch footage of a single and co-op run after the break. Let me know if you agree, or if you think I need to take my meds before the show starts.
