										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-401098" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra.png" alt="Contra" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra.png 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra-300x169.png 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra-768x432.png 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Contra-1024x576.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>We reported yesterday that a rather mysterious <em><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/new-contra-title-listed-for-september-via-german-retailer-rumor">Contra</a></em> listing had appeared on a German retailer site. We still aren’t too sure what exactly that is all about, but we did get some news of a more confirmed nature today, as Konami revealed the remaining games in the announced <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/konami-announces-anniversary-collections-for-contra-castlevania-and-arcade-classics"><em>Contra: Anniversary Collection</em>.</a></p>
<p>Via <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/28/konami-announces-contra-anniversary-collection-lineup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IGN</a>, Konami revealed the complete list of the collection. We already knew half of it from before: <em>Contra</em> (Arcade), <em>Super Contra</em> (Arcade), <em>Super C </em>(NES), and <em>Contra 3: The Alien Wars</em> (Super NES). Joining them will be some expected entries like <em>Contra: Hard Corps</em> (Sega Genesis) and <em>Operation C</em> (Game Boy), but also some unexpected ones in <em>Probotector</em> (Sega Mega Drive) and <em>Super Probotector: Alien Rebels</em> (Super NES), which were European and Australian-only version of <em>Hard Corps</em> and <em>Contra 3</em>, respectively, which replaced the human protagonists with robots. It was also confirmed that Japanese editions of six of the titles will be available shortly after launch. For a full list of the games, see below.</p>
<p><em>Contra: Anniversary Collection</em> will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC some time this summer.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-392676" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami.jpg" alt="konami" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami.jpg 1920w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami-300x169.jpg 300w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami-768x432.jpg 768w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/konami-1024x576.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>For a lot of gamers, Konami may now be a non-factor: once a name synonymous with quality, that fell from glory and gradually faded away into obscurity. But Konami, the company, has rarely ever done as well as it is doing right now. In spite of few new major releases, the publisher has posted a staggering $1.75 billion in revenues, according to <a href="https://img.konami.com/ir/en/ir-data/meeting/2019/en0131_d22hge.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">its latest financial report</a>.</p>
<p>That is up 7.8% year-on-year, while operating profit is now at $358.9 million, up 2.4% year-on-year. And what can Konami attribute this kind of insane money to? Konami primarily attributes this success to its mobile games, as well as its eSports initiatives, as well as the revenues brought in by the <i>PES</i> games’ MyClub modes. Konami’s digital entertainment division, which is the one that makes games (console, mobile, or otherwise) reported $962.9 million in revenue, while the amusement machines division—the one that makes pachinko machines—made $165.4 million in revenues, which is actually a year-on-year decline of 8.2%.</p>
<p>Put simply, Konami’s multi-faceted approach seems to be working out for them. They may never make a AAA <i>Metal Gear</i> or <i>Castlevania</i> game again, but they’re doing well—and at least we have <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/konami-announces-anniversary-collections-for-contra-castlevania-and-arcade-classics">their <i>Anniversary</i> collections</a> to look forward to, if nothing else.</p>

<p>On the occasion of their 50th anniversary as a company this year, Konami will be releasing a trio of anniversary collections on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. These include the <em>Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection</em>, <em>Contra Anniversary Collection</em>, and <em>Castlevania Anniversary Collection, </em>all three of which will be digital-only releases.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/50th/ac/arcade/us/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection</em></a> will include eight classic arcade titles- <em>Haunted Castle, Thunder Cross, Scramble, Nemesis, Typhoon, Life Force, TwinBee, </em>and <em>Vulcan Venture. </em>The collection will also include an e-book with &#8220;new information about the titles, including interviews with the development staff, behind-the-scenes insights, and sketches and design documents never before revealed to the public&#8221;. It&#8217;ll be priced at $20, and releases on April 18.</p>
<p>The <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/50th/ac/castlevania/us/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Castlevania Anniversary Collection</a> </em>and the <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/games/50th/ac/contra/us/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Contra Anniversary Collection</a> </em>will also include eight games apiece. For <em>Castlevania Anniversary Collection, </em>the titles announced so far are <em>Castlevania, Castlevania II: Belmont&#8217;s Revenge, Castlevania III: Dracula&#8217;s Curse, </em>and <em>Super Castlevania IV</em>. For the <em>Contra </em>collection, the games announced so far are <em>Contra, Super Contra, Super C, </em>and <em>Contra III: The Alien Wars</em>.</p>
<p>Both collections will also have four additional games that haven&#8217;t yet been announced. Prices for neither have been announced yet, and neither have exact release dates, other than an &#8220;Early Summer&#8221; release window for both. The <em>Castlevania </em>collection will come with a special e-book as well, which will include &#8220;details provided by developers, artists and other inspired by the <em>Castlevania</em> legacy&#8221;. A &#8220;bonus book&#8221; is also confirmed for the <em>Contra </em>collection, but details on its contents weren&#8217;t provided.</p>
