Konami hasn't been happy with their marketing for the new game Contra 4. Despite the US release getting high praise and winning a few awards, Konami still wasn't impressed. So they decided to "spice up" their commercials for the Japanese release by deploying "Contra Girls" to outlets like Impress Game Watch to promote the game in their scantily-clad outfits.

Only in Japan, eh?

    Yeap...Only in Japan...Then again, I wouldn't mind if they did the same here, bit of eye candy is never a bad thing but I do feel sorry for the girl gamers that don't get the same treatment.

    I didn't see any scantily clad women at the source....... I sure wish America would wake up and embrace gaming into the culture like the Japanese.
