Step into the battlefield with a bold new twist on a legendary classic — Contra: Bella & Lana Edition! This fan-made ROM hack reimagines the iconic 1987 NES run-and-gun shooter by turning its macho heroes into powerful female warriors.

Say hello to Bella Rizer and Lana Bean, the fierce new faces of resistance against the Red Falcon Organization. Built on top of Ferraro’s renowned translation pack, this patch gives the entire game a stylish makeover without touching the original fast-paced gameplay.

What’s new in this patch?

• 🔫 Title screen overhaul: Bella and Lana strike a back-to-back pose, just like the original – but now with a fresh attitude.

• 👕 New spritework: Updated character sprites show off white tank tops and redefined animations in both gameplay and cut-scenes.

• 🎬 Cut-scene redesigns: Both the radio call and machine-gun sequences now feature the heroines in action.

• 🕹️ Mini sprites updated: All in-game character sprites were modified to reflect their new identities.

• 🗣️ Dialog changes: The final cut-scenes include adjusted lines to match Bella and Lana’s personalities.

Still in development:

• 📝 Fully rewritten cut-scene dialogue for character depth and consistency.

• 🎨 Alternate color palette patch (coming soon) with blue shorts and red hair to better match in-game and cut-scene sprites.

Whether you’re a die-hard Contra veteran or just love seeing classic games through a new lens, this mod is a must-play. It’s Contra — but bolder, fiercer, and unapologetically fresh.
