According to GoNintendo, the classic Super Nintendo side scrolling shooter, Contra III: The Alien Wars, will soon be pew pew pewing its way to the European Wii U Virtual Console.

This version of the game will be based on the North American release and not the European version which was called Super Protector: Alien Rebels.

The game will feature up to two player multiplayer co-op. Now mind you that this is Nintendo so two player multiplayer co-op doesn't necessarily mean it will be online co-op.

Personally speaking, this was one of my favorite games on the SNES. This is definitely a must have so it you live in Europe you should definitely try this out.
