In celebration of Contra’s 35th anniversary, Limited Run Games will unveil a special physical release of Contra Anniversary Collection.
Announced today, the game, which will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch will arrive in three editions: Classic Edition, the Hard Corps Edition, and the Ultimate Edition. Information about each edition can be found below. Pre-orders will kick off on April 29, and they’ll last for six weeks.
Limited Run Games CEO/co-founder Josh Fairhurst said this about the physical release:
“As lifelong gamers and fans, it is an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to work with KONAMI on the Contra Anniversary Collection. For players who grew up during those halcyon days of console gaming in the late '80s and '90s, we’ve put together something extra special with this collection, including the original arcade version, Japan-only releases, and all the landmark titles for this legendary franchise from the original Contra that made the ‘Konami code’ famous to more rare releases, like Probotector.”
Released in 2019, the Contra Anniversary Collection features five classic Contra games alongside their respective ports.
