Contra 4 controls give us pause (and other buttons)

We've reached the point where every single Contra 4 news piece that comes in has us gripping the arms of our chairs, afraid that we'll fall from the dizzying heights of ecstasy that we've just been sent to. The experience is both exhilarating and terrifying.

Even this image of Contra 4's control setup, taken at one of Comic-Con's demo stations last week, gave us cause to throw our office windows open, yelling out our excitement to the pedestrians below. Press B to jump! Press Y to fire! Press L to switch weapons! How great life is!

I have no idea why this seems so cool to me.

My SNES and it's Contra III cart is still snuggled in the attic and I haven't played it in years.

-and yet I find myself eagerly awaiting this title!

Awesome!
