Surprise, surprise. This has nothing to do with E3.

And in a way, I’m regretful of that. Because it means no new game for the series was announced. Well, except for the arcade original being on XBox Live Arcade. So I guess this is a celebration of that.

Anyway, in the interest of sharing, and because someone FINALLY got the full version up and online…

The opening of Neo Contra.

Probably one of my most favorite openings. Ever. Nearly 4 minutes long, and good for getting you pumped.

If Solid Snake owns the term badass, these guys have an entirely unique word dedicated to them.

I gotta dig back through entries and see how to save this thing…

Oh, and for the Hell of it, the opening to Contra: Shattered Soldier.
