Contra collection has been annouced

[FakeSympathy]

Today, Konami has announced "Contra; Anniversary collection" For Switch, PS4, XB1, and PC. The line ups include following

Contra (arcade)
Contra (NES)
Contra (Famicom)
Super Contra (arcade)
Super C (NES)
Operation C (Game Boy)
Contra 3: The Alien Wars (Super NES)
Contra: Hard Corps (Sega Genesis)
Probotector (Sega Mega Drive)
Super Probotector: Alien Rebels (Super NES)

The collection will be priced at $19.99 USD, and I personally think that's a bit overpriced. I mean, some of the games are the same just from different ports. Probotector is a contra for UK/Australia but they replaced playable characters with robots because someone thought humans dying were too violent when it was first ported.

If some of these ports were not included and the collection was priced at $15-10, I might've been interested. But Konami being Konami I think the collection will be a pass for me

Try and make a new Contra game? Nah, let's just repackage 20-30 year old games!

Seriously Konami, you don't know how to program a simple region switch function? That thing Capcom, Sega, SNK, and the NEOGEO arcade archives use. And where the hell is Contra Rebirth and Hard Corps: Uprising? That is expensive for $19.99, if you're not even going to include those games on it. I get not having Contra 4 as that was one the DS (Luckily, I kept my copy).

Hey, if you make Komani think you don't appreciate them, they'll just remake all these games as japan-only Pachinko Slots just to show us.

Too soon? It's too soon.

You imply Konami is capable of making new games.
