The next day I came back to check if my understanding of bells was actually correct so that I could write about it.ĭeveloped from the ground up for the Super Nintendo and released only in Japan and Europe, Pop’n TwinBee came after Detana!! TwinBee and before TwinBee Yahho!, the only real arcade sequels to the original TwinBee. I played only once and looped it to top my previous best in more than a million points. I revisited the game a few days ago after a long strenuous day, which probably left me in a predisposed condition to enjoy it in a single victorious credit.
#POPN TWINBEE SERIES#
I’m not even fond of the gameplay concept behind the TwinBee series (or maybe I’m negatively biased by the excruciatingly raw difficulty of the first arcade game), and yet I consider Pop’n TwinBee a near masterpiece of the cute’em up subgenre. Case in question: Konami, specifically the division that takes care of shoot’em ups. If the player does not like the type of power-up, they can avoid the bell or shoot it until it changes back.Every once in a while it’s good to be reminded of how great some companies were before entering a period of constant failure – with critics and gamers alike. After a few shots, the bell changes color and is now a power-up. This releases a bell that the player can either run into for points, or they can keep shooting the bell. In this game, the player will shoot clouds as they come on to the screen. Pop’n Twinbee does this in a different and, I believe, more fun way. Most games do this by shooting a series of enemies or a specific type of enemy. Weapon upgrades are an important part of any shoot’em up game. These are some things I really appreciate because these games should be pure, unadulterated fun. The music is just as lighthearted as the art. The art style is more like a cartoon than many games in the genre.

There are a few things that make Pop’n Twinbee really stand out. I believe it’s this change in the challenge that brings me back to this genre. The thing I had to wrap my brain around while playing these games, is that it is more important to dodge the enemy than it is to attack them. I urge everyone to give this game a try.Īs with most vertical Shoot’em Ups, you are in control of a ship and must take out as many enemies as possible, while you try to make it to the boss.
#POPN TWINBEE FREE#
Recently, Pop’n Twinbee became available as one of the free SNES games on the Nintendo Online Service. I have felt that this was a series that too many people were missing out on, but not anymore. I ended up picking up another Famicom Twinbee game, and I was not disappointed. After that, I knew I had to play more Twinbee. This game is a parody of Gradius, one of my favorite retro games. I first discovered it playing Paradius, for the Super Famicom.

In the shoot’em up hay day of the 8 and 16-bit eras, Konami developed the Twinbee series. There is just something about flying in one direction and trying to survive a barrage attacking enemies. I love shoot’em ups (or shmups as they have so sadly been called).
In a world of first-person shooters, action-adventure games, and epic RPGs, one genre always pulls me back to it.
