Retro-rich Contra Rebirth Konami Codes WiiWare May 12
But the completely new Contra title is only going to be available in Japan. Figures! Still, it would not be a surprise at all if the $10 title made its way Stateside after the success of other retro re-imaginings like Mega Man 9 (but not so much Gradius–corny!).

Fight! Ghosts ‘n Goblins vs. Wizards & Warriors
