The sad news is that it's coming out for a handheld machine... Pretty lame. The good news (?) is that it's part of another Konami compilation, namely 'Salamander Portable', which will also include Salamander, Life Force and Salamander 2. Why is Xexex there? No clue, but a fifth title is also promised for the pack (...Thunder Cross? Who knows). This was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu, it's scheduled for January along with Twin Bee Portable (Twin Bee, Detana!! Twin Bee, Twin Bee Yahhoo!, Pop'n Twin Bee and a fifth unrevealed game) and Parodius Portable (Parodius Da!, Gokujou Parodius, Sexy Parodius, Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius ~Forever with Me~ and a fifth secret title). Oh. For the PSP, obviously. Ahh, the industry.
