Having already made an appearance on WiiWare, Contra will soon be making the jump to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. This time though, it will be as a spiritual successor to the Sega Genesis's Contra Hard Corps.

IGN has an early hands-on preview of Hard Corps: Uprising, which is being developed by Arc System Works, best-known for their work on titles including BlazBlue and Guilty Gear.

While the look is a bit more anime than usual, the gameplay looks to be much the same as previous games. The first level will reportedly include the familiar wall boss, and power-ups like the Spread Shot will also be making their return.

Contra has a reputation for being tough, and the Hard Corps mode will stick with the series traditions. However, there will also be a Rising Mode, which will allow players to take three bullets before going down, instead of just one.

Hard Corps: Uprising is slated for a winter release. Expect more detailed impressions at E3.
