Contra ReBirth[a] is a 2D run and gun video game developed by M2 and published by Konami for WiiWare.
The dual weapon system from Contra III: The Alien Wars returns and the player's normal gun can now shoot in autofire once again.
Bill Rizer and Genbei Yagyu, two members of the present-day Contra team, are deployed by the Galactic President to travel back in time to stop them.
In the true ending of the game, it is revealed Chief Salamander is actually "Plissken", who has infiltrated the Contra unit under an assumed name.
The game's soundtrack was composed by Manabu Namiki, who worked on the other titles in the ReBirth series.
