Thank you to everyone who kindly filled out our survey for Xeno Crisis on the Neo Geo.
We’re pleased to announce that pre-orders for the Neo Geo version of Xeno Crisis are now open:
https://shop.bitmapbureau.com
Xeno Crisis Standard Edition for AES/MVS is available for £199 / ~€220 / ~$250
Xeno Crisis Collector’s Edition for AES/MVS is available for £269 / ~€299 / ~$339
Xeno Crisis for Neo Geo CD is available for £30 / ~€33 / ~$38
Please note that the AES / MVS Collector’s Edition will only be available to purchase until the end of January 2019.
We are really excited to be able to bring Xeno Crisis to the Neo Geo, and we’re planning to add a number of enhancements that just aren’t technically feasible on the Mega Drive version be that due to lack of ROM space, CPU performance or other Mega Drive limitations.
These enhancements will include an arcade attract mode, the ability to join in as the second player at any point, extra sprite frames, colour depth, palettes that we couldn’t quite squeeze in on the Mega Drive, more speech, sound effects, as well as full integration with Neo Geo hardware for features like coin/credit support, memory cards, etc...
We’ve been busy pushing on with the initial steps of the Neo Geo release over the last few months, firming up supply chain options and making progress on hardware / software development.
Next steps whilst the Mega Drive version is being completed will be finalising PCB designs, sourcing the other physical elements and commissioning plastic molds as these have long lead times. We will continue to provide monthly updates of progress - our current target isto release in Q2 2019.
Thanks,
