It’s been so long since Contra Rebirth landed on the Japanese WiiWare service (two months ago to be precise) that you’d be forgiven for thinking that Konami have forgotten all about releasing it elsewhere – after all, it took them so long to get around to getting that other Rebirth title, Gradius, out that it actually landed today.
Konami are clearly thinking the same thing and have put out a press release which confirms the game will be coming to other regions in August. While Gradius Rebirth’s release today was for a knock down price of 600 Nintendo Points, anyone hoping for another territory related price reduction here needn’t hold their breath seeing as the delay hasn’t been that long.
