X8 Contra: Super Wall Storm, a new VR adaptation of the Contra franchise, is set to launch on December 12, 2024. Developed by Thirdverse and Konami, this game transforms the classic side-scrolling action into an immersive first-person experience.

Innovative Gameplay Mechanics: Reimagining Contra for VR

  • Players must physically duck behind cover and dodge attacks using motion-based controls to jump or double-jump.
  • Enemies attack from all angles, introducing a 360-degree combat environment.
  • The Overload feature is borrowed from Contra: Operation Galuga, allowing explosive special attacks.
  • Physical interactivity with the environment and finishing moves on weakened enemies.

Nostalgic References The game includes classic elements like Red Falcon enemies, paying tribute to the series that defined a generation of players.

Availability: X8 Contra: Super Wall Storm will be available on Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Steam VR, and Pico VR for $19.99 USD.

Do you think this will be the best way to experience Contra?
