Let's get one thing straight, right now. Contra...is awesome. Few things are more satisfying than teaming up with a friend to shoot the sh*t out of everything you see, and Contra delivers that in spades.
On the NeoGAF forums yesterday, a couple of scans of the game's press sheet were leaked, revealing both the box art (which happens to be exceptionally badass, and worthy of the Contra name) and the release date for the DS title. Come November 13th, DS owners will all be treated to, "Guns. Aliens. Spread Shot, Carnage."
Yes, there will be co-op, and yes, I'm excited already.

Yay! *claps like an idiot*
I have been a fan of Contra since the original on my NES. I may have to buy a DS just for this game.
yeah i had contra for snes back in the day lol
Even until this day, Contra is the hardest, most frustating game that i have ever played, especially the last one on the PS2. Many, many nights of cursing and almost breaking my conroller playing Contra.
I've only been able to beat the first Contra while my buddy and I were *very* inebriated
