Damn, I may have to get a PS2 now :(. But so far, it looks cool. And they are taking lessons from Treasure it seems too, with a deadset weapon system with no-powerups (like Radiant Silvergun). Used PS2s better drop in price, because I may want this game!

From what i saw of the contra III shots. those arent entirely new stages like the web publications say, the new one shown was ripped directly from contra hard corps (train stage)they should at least touch up the graphics so one stage dosent look like a genesis game and the next looking like an snes game. Its extremely disorenting to people whove played virtually every contra game and can point stuff out like that in less than a second. as much contra as they could get their hands on.

I agree. It's incredible how obvious the Genesis vs SNES levels really are, even though it's been a couple years since I have played either. It's just the art style and color palette that make it so, so obvious.

Well, this is indeed good news! One of the few pieces of game-related news I've been happy to hear, as of recent!

I'm disappointed in the GBA Contra III port's development at this time. Pay attention to the screenshots and you'll notice:
1) The machinegun seems to have a startlingly low amount of bullets on screen at once.
2) Can only carry one weapon at a time.
3) Graphics look washed out.
4) No facing the screen pose = no bezerker mode = no stationary shooting.
5) No Helio Bombs.
At this point I'd rather this port wasn't happening and that a new game was being made specifically for the GBA as was done with Gradius Galaxies, Circle of the Moon, and the upcoming White Night Concerto.
