Konami has announced the full lineup for their Contra Anniversary Collection for the Switch.
- Contra (Arcade & JPN)
- Super Contra (Arcade & JPN)
- Super C (NES & JPN)
- Contra III: The Alien Wars (SNES & JPN)
- Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis & JPN)
- Contra (NES)
- Contra (Famicom)
- Operation C (Game Boy & JPN)
- Probotector (Mega Drive)
- Super Probotector: Alien Rebels (SNES)
There will be a future update for the Japanese versions, and a digital art book that “provides a comprehensive history of Contra’s history and beginnings”.
It’s being priced at $20, for 16 games. The only major omissions are Contra 4 for Nintendo DS and Contra: Shattered Soldier for PlayStation 2. As awful as Konami has been the last few years, this is a surprisingly good lineup. Assuming the emulation is solid on these games, this is a quality collection for $20. For the Switch, it’s a great fit. I don’t see how this won’t make its way into my Switch library eventually.
Kudos Konami. Now let’s get that Metal Gear Solid collection going for the Switch.
