Podcast 303 (Tomm Hulett - Contra Operation Galuga)

Tomm Hulett, the visionary Game Director and Producer at Wayforward, drops in for a Q&A discussion interview, where he shares some of his experience, knowledge and insight as he reveals all the reasons why hungry Contra fans should be excited and well prepared. Why? Because we're gonna get served a side-scrolling, shooter-smorgasbord when the studio's latest project, Contra: Operation Galuga drops on March 12!

Contra: Operation Galuga is a 2 to 4 players co-op, run and gun reimaging of the first Contra and represents a reboot for the franchise with added new characters and exciting gameplay features! With Wayforward's 30 years of proven excellence combined with Tomm's personal experience (which includes the development of Contra 4) it's no surprise why Konami handpicked them to ensure the Contra IP is properly revived for this modern era of gaming!
