Review 3D Classics: TwinBee (3DSWare)
Bee very grateful for this one
Most of our readers could be forgiven for never having played TwinBee: after all, it began life in 1985 as an arcade game that never left Japan. It was later ported to the Famicom, and though some reports state that an NES localisation project was actually completed, for some reason it was never released. In fact,...

News Twinbee is Your Next 3D Classic on 3DS
What do you mean, 'what's Twinbee?'
Top-down shooters are ripe for resurrection in Nintendo's 3D Classics line: recent release 3D Classics Xevious did a decent job, and next it's Konami's turn with a version of classic arcade shooter Twinbee. The revamped game takes flight to Japan on 10th August for 600 Yen, the same price as Xevious. Interestingly...
About The Game
3D Classics TwinBee is a remastered 3D version of the arcade classic; you pilot the TwinBee fighter craft and defend Donburi Island.

A clever power-up system grants different bonuses by shooting Bells to change their colour.
So tune-up your TwinBee and shoot for a high score.

Never played the original, so I'll probably get this.
Meh, the game always felt like a kiddy version of Xevious to me, and less immersive at that.
This is awesome!! Wait, was Nintendo listening to me when I posted this:

Hahahaha! I'm so happy that... wait a minute. No US...?
crud.
Much better than Urban Champion tho I wish I seen more Nintendo classics but im eager to try this one out.
urban champion wasnt bad though
It is fun. Glad I picked it up. Nice 3D, too.
Yeah I got it as well. Nice game and better than Xevious in my opinion because It's a little easier, power-ups are in the game.
@Otty_Ott and @pizzacore because of your reviews, I will download this. It better be worth it.
I would like to see more Classics, MachRider 3D?
@5 I agree, it's sweet but soft game play though, should have sold for $4.
would be nice if it was on club nintendo so i wouldnt have to pay for it
got it from Club Nintendo a few days ago. good 3D and good game overall. nine out of ten stars for me
