In Konami's May 2007 Insider News email newsletter, Super Contra is confirmed to be on the way to the Xbox 360's Live Arcade.

From the newsletter: "Inspired by sci-fi classics of the 80's like Aliens and Predator, Super Contra tells the grim story of the second alien invasion stopped by the relentless super-soldiers Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. This time the enemy has infested the elite GX Army unit in South America, forcing Lance and Bill to turn on their own former comrades.

Similar in terms of gameplay to its classic forebear, Contra, Super Contra earned an immortal place in gamers' hearts by upping the difficulty and skill required to finish. Once again, players must battle through a series of stunning 2D levels that scroll through the action from a variety of perspectives. If Contra was the height of the run n' gun genre, then Super Contra was its magnum opus.

While little information about how Super Contra will come to Live Arcade has been released as of yet, Konami fans are already excited. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements about Super Contra and other upcoming Konami games for Xbox® Live Arcade."

Not much info on specific features or pricing, but we'll be posting updates as more information is released!
