LittleBig Contra Relives Konami’s Classic Franchise

03/09/2009 Written by Richard Allen

contra-lbp Some enterprising users of NeoGAF have been hard at work creating LittleBigPlanet levels based on the classic game Contra. From the looks of the video they have done a fantastic job. The team has painstakingly recreated what appears to be every stage from the original Contra, including the ground-breaking “3D” stages.

The seven man team has been hard at work on homage for some time. The thread was started January 20th. If you are a regular LBP player, check it out. If you haven’t played in a while, this is a great reason to. Check out the trailer and details below.

Wow. They did a really great job there. I’ll buy it for LBP and then setup my NES next to my PS3 and have the original Contra there next to LBContra.
