January 26th is when Xeno Crisis goes physical on Switch and PS4

Strictly Limited Games just announced that January 26th is the date pre-orders for Xeno Crisis for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 opens up.
A port of the successfully crowdfunded Sega Mega Drive / Genesis title!

Xeno Crisis is an arena shooter that can be played solo or in local co-op mode. Take control of battle-hardened marines embarking on a deadly mission to confront an alien menace and get home alive! Run and gun your way through thousands of adversaries as you explore the devastated research outpost, searching for surviv
ors, and ultimately facing the origin of the outpost’s demise.

Outpost 88 is divided into seven distinct areas, each being randomly generated with each play, meaning that your strategy must evolve on the fly if you’re to succeed in your mission. Collect dog-tags from vanquished enemies to upgrade your equipment between areas and look out for special weapons which will give you a momentary advantage.

Features:
    A faithful port of the hit 16 bit game with added extras
    Incredible pixel art from the legendary pixel artist, Henk Nieborg
    Intense FM chiptune soundtrack by Savaged Regime, originally created for the YM2612!
    Two difficulty levels and three modes of play
    Seven varied areas to traverse
    Many different enemies to tackle
    An arsenal of 10 weapons to master
    Upgrade system allows you to change your tactics each playthrough
    Play solo or couch co-op with a friend!

There are regular and Collector's Editions as per usual.





The Collector's Edition contains:
    Xeno Crisis Game
    Hardcover CE Box with magnetic lock
    Original Soundtrack CD
    Hardcover Artbook
    Stickersheet
    1x Double-sided A2 Poster
    Military Patch


By the numbers, the PlayStation 4 Collectors Edition will be available in 700 copies, the regular in 1300 copies while Switch Collector's will be available in 1500 copies and the regular in 2500 copies.

Since this is a real gem of a game I fully expect these to go fast no matter what platform you aim for.
