#CONTRA REBIRTH DISC ANDROID#

The traditional flamethrower, however, is missing. The power-ups in this installment consists of a Spread Shot, a Laser Gun and a Homing Gun. The dual weapon system from Contra III: The Alien Wars returns and the player's normal gun can now shoot in autofire once again.

Two additional characters: Brownie (Tsugumin in the Japanese version), an android shaped like a small girl and Plissken, a tall reptilian humanoid alien (whose name is a tribute to the Snake Plissken movie character), can also be selected once the player has completed the game on Easy (Brownie) and Normal (Plissken). The player initially has a choice between two different player characters: Bill Rizer, the traditional Contra hero, or Genbei Yagyu from Neo Contra. As with most Contra games, up to two players can play simultaneously.

The game can be played with the standard Wii Remote, as well as with the Classic Controller or a Nintendo GameCube controller. In the true ending of the game, it is revealed Chief Salamander is actually 'Plissken', who has infiltrated the Contra unit under an assumed name.Ĭontra ReBirth retains the same sprite-based side-scrolling gameplay as the series' earlier installments. However, Chief Salamander is nowhere to be seen.

With the help of Brownie or Tsugumin (a miniature gynoid similar to Browny from Contra: Hard Corps) and Plissken (a reptilian alien) the Contra warriors manage to take down the Neo Salamander Force. Bill Rizer and Genbei Yagyu, two members of the present-day Contra team, are deployed by the Galactic President to travel back in time to stop them. They end up establishing a base on the ruins of the Shizuoka temple at the Yucatán Peninsula in Central America. In 2633, the Neo-Salamander Force, led by their mysterious leader Chief Salamander, travel back to 1973 to take out the Contra force, when the Earth's defenses are considered by them as 'primitive'. Single player, cooperative multiplayer Contra ReBirth (魂斗羅リバース, Kontora Ribāsu), is a 2D run and gun video game developed by M2 and published by Konami for WiiWare. It is the twelfth original installment in the Contra series. It was released in Japan on May 12, 2009, PAL regions on September 4, 2009, and North America on September 7, 2009.
