It’s a double-elimination tournament with a twist. For small matches you can do one-on-one video games, for bigger events you can play four-player or eight-player games, with the top half of the scorers moving on to the winners’ bracket and the bottom half into the losers’ bracket. Then the shooters face off with video games. The first stage of each match is all shooting. Imagine a USPSA-based multi-gun event where, between run-and-gun stages, competitors go head-to-head in a digital arena - be it classic arcade games, modern first-person shooters, fighting games or party titles like “Guitar Hero” - with the winner of the match someone who’s not just a top shooter, but also a leet gamer. A gun game that incorporates video games is almost overdue. Video games have adopted shooting whole cloth. (By the way, if you’ve never heard of the sport, chess boxing is fantastic.) I work with guns, that’s how my brain operates.īut while Konami’s working on a video game, I thought, why shouldn’t this be a multi-gun event? Think chess boxing, but with guns, and video games. Of course, when I saw “Contra Run and Gun” my heart skipped a beat - because for a split second, I thought Konami was gearing up to start a Contra-themed multi-gun event. “The Contra series is 26 years old, and if ‘Contra Run And Gun’ is indeed a new title it will be the fourteenth Contra game.” Konami has been teasing about an upcoming launch of the beloved video game series and recently trademarked the name “Contra Run and Gun.”ĬVG caught wind of the news, saying “‘Run and gun’ is also the nickname given to the game genre made popular by Contra, though it’s as yet unclear as to whether this game will have similar gameplay to previous Contra games. Contra, the iconic 1987 video game, is getting rebooted.
