Do you like retro arcade shooters? Then you may want to keep an eye out for Near Earth Objects. The game is coming to the North American Wii U eshop on January 14.

Here is a description of the game:

” NEOs, or ‘near earth objects’ are an emergent threat to all life on this planet. Blast off into space and destroy them all to preserve life as we know it back on Earth! Neo-retro arcade style shooting designed to challenge and enthrall. Shoot rocks, get POW. Survive.

Featuring a ’90 Euro/rave-inspired soundtrack, over 120 waves of sadistic space shootables and graphics in tribute (albeit loosely) to old CGA games, this is going to knock your socks off – hope you bought a spare pair. ”

And here’s a trailer for Near Earth Objects:
