1UP.com Exclusive "First Look" at Contra 4 DS

Everything so far about Contra 4 on the DS seems to feel so right. From the sprite work to the traditional vertical alignment, this game seems to be capturing the heart and soul of the series down to a T. Could Wayforward Tech really be the "right" choice for Contra? I wasn't too sure myself, but after viewing the 1up.com exclusive first look at the game (which is below), I'm pretty convinced now that whatever concern I may have had about the game has been addressed. The only "real" question I have left is when can I have it in my hands?
