Tempest 4000 getting a physical release on Switch

Limited Run Games is preparing a physical release for Tempest 4000 on Switch, the company has announced. Only a standard version will be sold – no limited editions.

Tempest 4000 originally came to Switch this past March. Up until now, it has only been offered on the eShop.

Here’s some information about the game:

Tempest 4000 is a visually stunning, action-packed tube shooter based on the classic hit arcade game, Tempest. Developed by legendary game designer, Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000 remains faithful to the original fast-paced gameplay by putting you in control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms.

Featuring fantastical graphical environments, 100 levels, three game modes, and more, you must eliminate all enemies as fast as possible to survive and compete for the highest score on the leaderboards.

Pre-orders for the physical version of Tempest 4000 on Switch kick off on December 2, 2022. You’ll be able to put in a reservation here.
