Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX is currently in the works for the GameBoy Advance. Ever since the GBA's debut, Contra fans have been awaiting a Contra game for this advanced system. Well fans are only going to have to wait a little longer. Contra for the GameBoy advance looks very promising. The good people at Konami have put together a classic side-scrolling adventure that features some primo graphics.

Many of the classic Contra game elements have been included in this game that were seen in the GameBoy, NES and SNES versions. The graphics appear to be of the same scheme and genre. The new Contra game seems to continue to use the classic Contra attacks. This is looking like a must-buy, so save some cash in your piggy bank!
