The " alien wars ", aka Contra 3, was the supposed " final defeat " of Red Falcon ( he/she/it is also the alien responsible for Contra and Super C ) so it's quite likely that these aliens are connected. There's one easy way to tell: Are there spider/scorpion things that pop out of pods in it?
Not to give away the game's great "story" :), but the answer to your question is yes, there are plenty of insects popping out of pods. Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than old school, hardcore, super difficult 2D (essentially) Contra. Literally every 5 minutes, something would put a smile on my face (1st level boss, 2nd level boss, final level boss, riding around on missiles, etc.)
You'd swear this game was done by Treasure, the sole owners of Contra. (Well, the 16-bit ones, anyway)
Ahhhh... now where's a next-gen Castlevania, dammit!!!???

HAHAHA!! YEAH!!!! I Bet a Castlevania with a similar game concept like this new contra and graphic engine would kick some ass. Bring Alucard back once again!! Damn.. if the Castlevania project was'nt switched to the GBA, we would have been experiencing the brand new Castlevania on the PS2 by now. Oh whatever, the GBA castlevania was'nt really bad either.

This game is a masterpiece, everyone should obtain it immediately. I think it's great that it came out here in the US first like the original Contra did too. ^_^
Stuff that's returned~
Contra I jungle fortress
Contra III spotlight ship
Contra III insects
Heart boss
Spidery thing with a woman's face
Jagger Froid/Red Falcon head from Super Contra/Contra III
Various midway point subbosses
Huge spikey tank thing
LOTS of the old school music
Alien pods
Super Contra level 1 layout
Missile riding
The stage IV ship from Contra III
The train boss from Contra: Hard Corp
The Red Falcon Head from Contra and Contra III
The rocket pack soldiers from Contra III/Hard Corp (All the grunts now have this space samurai motif)
The grenadiers from the original Contra
The rolling gun turrets from Contra III
This is basically a best of for all the great Contra titles. Play it ASAP.
Check out the first level 5 subboss, a brilliant pun on "Metal Slug." (speaking of which there are now sheild soldiers and lunging knifers in the game!) :D
Storyline (Legacy of War and Contra Adventure are irrelevant in the canon):
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Several years after the Alien War Bill Rizer (Mad Dog, player 2, you know the guy) is imprisoned for supposedly murdering Lance Bean (aka Scorpion, player 1) but is released to help fight off an invasion from a massive terrorist group known as Blood Falcon that has access to the old Red Falcon's technology.
As it turns out Lance Bean IS the leader of Blood Falcon, we realize after level five that the entire reason Red Falcon had begun setting up fortifications on earth in the original Contra (and subsequently taking over Fort Firestorm in Super Contra) was because an artifact was stolen from them by earth forces and they had come to recover it. Scorpion and Mad Dog had been lied to the whole time and Lance was "killed" when he found out the truth (this occured soon after the Alien War in Contra III concluded).
Lucia, player two in this game, is a cyborg woman created by Dr. Geo Mandrake to be the ultimate weapon. Mandrake if you recall was originally going to use these to take over the world but instead got his ass kicked by Ray Poward, etc. in Contra: Hard Corp. on the Genesis. She is the only fully functional model at this time.
End of Spoiler
