News   Contra Advance - Konami Says it Rocks
- Posted By Mike Mason, 07.30.2002

The press release...
--------------------

Top 10 Reasons Why Konami's New Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX for GameBoy Advance Will Blow You Away!


10. Big guns, big explosions, little system: the perfect recipe for fun.


9. Classic, side-scrolling run ‘n gun 2D gameplay as only Konami can provide.


8. New levels = new thrills. Think you can handle it?


7. This is why you bought a Game Boy® Advance in the first place.


6. Save all of mankind from total annihilation… using just your thumbs.


5. Giant bosses... they just don’t make 'em quite as giant as they used to.


4. Play the Simultaneous mode by linking with a friend -- if you’ve got any.


3. There’s no faster, more intense shooter on the GameBoy® Advance, and we doubt there ever will be.


2. Bill and Lance may not be the Men in Black, but they’ve got way cooler guns.


And the number one reason why the 1st-ever Contra game on GameBoy Advance will blow you away...

1. It’s Contra… enough said.

-------------------------

Old school Contra on the NES was a very tight game. There really is no reason this game shouldn't give many Contra-dorks some wet pants.
