KONAMI'S NEO CONTRA BRINGS NEW DIMENSION TO LEGENDARY SERIES
REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. - January 9, 2004 - Konami
Digital Entertainment - America, a subsidiary of Konami Digital Entertainment,
Inc., today revealed Neo Contra , the latest game
in the highly popular action series Contra . Following
the success of 2001's side-scrolling shooter, Contra: Shattered
Soldier , Neo Contra has been designed for
the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and takes players
into an action-packed and stunningly-detailed 3D environment.
Neo Contra integrates all of the classic shooting gameplay
elements that have come to define this renowned series while bringing
the experience to a 3D world. Longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise
will find classic, fast-paced action as they battle huge bosses who
will stop at nothing to keep them from completing their mission. Players
will need quick reflexes to dodge enemy attacks as well as access an
arsenal of powerful weapons to defeat deadly enemies.
Set in the distant future, Neo Contra continues the adventure
of the legendary hero, Bill Rizer, and introduces a visually striking
new character to the series - Genbei Jaguer Yagyu , a mysterious
Samurai. In addition to stylized characters, players will also experience
realistic environmental destruction and explosions as they make their
way through extremely detailed stages. The game's incredible CG cinematic
sequences will also enhance its engaging storyline and overall dynamic
visual design.
The action explodes in November 2004. A playable version of the game
will be on display at Konami's booth during E3 2004.
