My PAX expo hall map showed a small
Konami booth toward the back of the hall. Just small enough, I thought, for a couple of DS demo stations showing off a certain side-scrolling sequel. I was sure I'd come back a hero, having gotten my hands on
Contra 4 for real, and bringing back hyperbolic froth based on
real playtime rather than
screenshots and
video.
You can imagine our disappointment when we saw the actual Konami booth, then. That's it above, occupied by Derrick and Garrett from Mega64. ProTip:
it's not Contra 4.
Okay, I'm exaggerating. That's not the
whole Konami booth. There was another DDR machine behind it.
