Wow, I had no idea this game came out. Loved the first one, took me back to the old arcade games, but with new graphics and some other things. Lots of fun. I'll have to pick this one up [though I just got the Curious Village, haven't even opened it, just started playing Advance Wars Days of Ruin, and bought a used copy of Puzzle Quest today. Not to mention all my Wii games. Far, far too many to play 🙁 ]
By the way, where are you in Contra 4? I gave up on playing it in hard, playing it in normal or whatever now. I get up to the stage where you're on the water bike, but haven't beaten it yet.
