Contra III: The Alien Wars GBA Port Now Available On Wii U Virtual Console
Contra Advance, the Game Boy Advance port of the Super Nintendo Contra, is now available on Wii U Virtual Console.
Contra Advance features new levels and graphics from the original Super Nintendo game, but strangely cut the overhead levels and the ability to wield two weapons. The original Super Nintendo version of the game is also available on Wii U Virtual Console.

Our Take
This should really be available on 3DS Virtual Console, especially considering the Super Nintendo version of the original game, Contra III: The Alien Wars, is already available on Wii U Virtual Console.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
