Super Contra headed to the XBLA

After doing some ESRB searching we've unearthed what looks to be Konami's second foray into the XBLA. Super Contra shows up on ESRB's website with a rating of E10+ for its fantasy violence and oh yeah, it'll be released on the Xbox 360 platform. Now, we highly doubt anyone will be purchasing Super Contra for $60 so it's a pretty safe bet that it'll be coming to the XBLA instead. Hopefully Super Contra includes online co-op, but ends up being a little more smooth than what Contra had to offer. Any fanboys out there huge Contra fans and salivating at the mention of Super Contra coming to the Arcade?

3. Konami has been going crazy on arcade, TMNT, Castlevania, Contra now Super Contra. All thats left is Metal Gear (which seems like a go from Kojima).

5. I don't think we are gonna see any MGS on the 360. That crackhead Kojima said no MGS4 for you! Dumb move

7. Super Contra was also rated by the German USK on April 3rd (getting FSK-12) and also Boom Boom Rocket was rated on April 4th, getting a "Free for all". And that's with explosions! Whee!

9. If this is the one I played on a Famicon clone back in the mid-90s, I will be extremely happy.

10. Really this is old news, Super Contra was reported to be coming to the 360 back when the first Contra was announced to be coming to 360. So in short I've been waiting on Super Contra since Contra came out.

11. So this would be "Super C" on the original Nintendo. I'm still hoping to see Contra III Alien Wars, the one that was released on the SNES. Was there ever an actual arcade version of that? Or was that Nintendo's own thing (meaning we'd find it on the Wii before XBLA)?

12. @11: It's already out on the Wii Virtual Console. :P

13. Actually wasn't TMNT released by Ubisoft but orginally being Konami.
