Super Nintendo shooter Contra 3: Alien Wars is bound for the European Wii U Virtual Console.
The game was originally released in the region in 1992 under the alternative title Super Probotector: Alien Rebels. The EU-only Probotector games starred robots instead of human soldiers Jimbo and Sully, but otherwise featured identical levels and gameplay.
