Contra ReBirth

About

Contra ReBirth revives the classic run-and-gun formula with 2D side-scrolling action. Play solo or team up locally or online for co-op mayhem. The game leans into fast-paced shooting, explosive power-ups, and the Wii's motion controls for aiming. Levels mix platforming and boss battles, all wrapped in the series' signature difficulty. The co-op modes shine, letting two players swap firepower mid-level. While the challenge can be brutal, fans praise the tight controls and retro feel. With a 78 Metacritic score and strong community reviews, it’s a solid pick for Contra veterans. The 2009 release holds up as a worthy entry in the long-running series.
