Small Arms, please.
Anyone who's played the arcade version of Contra via emulation recently knows it has not aged well. I'd much rather play the GBA release of Alien Wars.

I've messed around with the emulators a little, and there were not many games that I liked to play using the keyboard. I still am going to download Contra right away, wait.. I have the auto download already hooked up...
I guess we will all see how the game plays when it is ported onto Arcade. 2 player co-op might be a good selling feature for me. It looks like I am going to have to give MS another 20 bucks...
