Contra ReBirth

Contra ReBirth (魂斗羅ReBirth) is a 2D run and gun video game developed by M2 and published by Konami for the Wii's WiiWare service. It is the twelfth original installment in the series. It was released in Japan on May 12, 2009, and will be released in Europe in August 2009.

The game features the characters of recurring Contra hero Bill Rizer and the humanoid alien samurai Genbei Yagyu from Neo Contra, and involves the two heroes fighting off the Neo Salamander Army led by Colonel Salamander.
