There are very few franchises that are as near and dear to my heart as Konami’s Contra series. The original releases in the arcade and on the NES hold a major place in my heart.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a love letter to fans of the franchise. We’ll have our full review soon and in the meantime, check out all of the old school run and gun action that awaits fans in the launch trailer below:
