So this week we have some Twin Bee. I know I've talked about this title way too many times but it's always nice to come back to it. This is the classic shooter you need to have in your collection. Nintendo made it very easy to have this in your Wii or 3DS although I do suggest you pick up the original Famicom port of it. Why? Because it kicks ass! There is nothing like the original! So without further adieu, here is Twin Bee in a nutshell.
The music of this game is pure classic! There may only be one theme song on it but it's only that one that makes it a classic. You can even find places like Youtube packed with remixes of the theme song. The sound effects are as simple as any shooter of its time. Truly enjoyable.
The graphics are pure and simple. The game does a good job on making you feel like you are in the air. You fly through islands and even shoot down pineapples that shoot seeds at you. Yes, there is a lot of different weird enemies in this game. Another reason why it's unique. Gotta love how your flying ship looks like as well. A total array of beautiful yet creative creatures.
The gameplay is truly enjoyable! I can't say enough! The game is short but fun and quite challenging. If you think the first stage was easy, they are just easing you in. Be sure to get all the power ups early on because you are going to need them. The game does a great job at raising the bar in difficulty although the enemies are quite simple if you learn the patterns and even then some don't have patterns and you just have to shoot and move. Fun fun fun !
The game is great to come back to. You can always get together with a friend and play two players at the same time. The game is quite challenging! You can't get enough of it especially after you get through it once. You get a more difficult second run. Care to challenge it?
The game overall is amazing. I would recommend it to any shooter fan that's looking for something simple and fun. Games like these are also brought into new generations especially with the release of the 3D classics Twin Bee for the 3DS. Be sure to check it out if you have a 3DS. The game is quite affordable and even comes in the most generic pirate carts. There are so many ways to acquire this one that I won't even go further. Just go get it and enjoy a good time!

F yeah, Twin Bee! My grandmother has an old NES with a 42 in 1 bootleg cartridge from Thailand with Twin Bee and many other great Japan-only games on it. Arguably, this game started my love affair with shmups. Great post!
Yeah this game is a must have and must play!
