Contra Reboot

I think my dreams has finally coming true, Mercury Steam the creators of Lords of shadows are
planning to make Contra after they done with lords of Shadows 2. I am hyped right now, and i
don't give a flying fuck if its a FPS or a Third Person Shooter.

The teaser~

Is there an article or confirmation about the reboot? I also love Contra, but it's been over a year and I haven't heard anything else about it besides this video.

Here :D

Mercury Steam has already impressed me with their Castlevania games, now Contra? Can't wait to see what they can with Contra.

Hope the Konami Code still works.

Contra was the perfect Co-Op game back in the NES days. To see that it's coming back is a sure-fire way to open up my wallet and let out its monetary fluids. This had better fucking happen.

That reminds me that I still haven't beat Contra 4 which is just sitting in my garage.

I should probably get to that sometime.

The final battle of Contra 4 is insane. Though half of the difficulty is due to the invisible space between the screens, making it hard to figure out where diagonal enemy shots will go.
