		Games like Twinbee typically elicit one response from Japanese college students: “Natsukashii!” For the uninitiated, natsukashii is a word that expresses one’s delighted sense of nostalgia.
		The first thing that will strike any casual observer of Twinbee 3 is the fact that right off the bat, flying instruments come hurtling at the ships, all the while shooting pellets in classic vertical shooter style.
		The somewhat obnoxious sound effects are muffled by players’ din fairly well, but solo fliers may wind up gritting their teeth in reaction to the sound as time goes on, with it becoming yet one more obstacle on the way to the top of each stage.

	Hardcore Gaming 101 - Twinbee
		Twinbee's main differences are the cute fantasy setting, where most of the enemies consist of fruit, and the two player mode.
		Twinbee, the universe draws from all the anime culture of the previous decade.
		Twinbee 3: Poko Poko Daimaou (Demon King Poko Poko) is quite an improvement in visuals compared to the previous two.

	Twinbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	TwinBee (Import) - GameBoy Advance Review
		TwinBee was simply a two-player simultaneous game before, and they made it as comfortable as possible to play that way again.
		TwinBee’s music was meant to be simple and catchy, but it doesn’t necessarily age well, particularly on the Game Boy Advance’s lousy speaker.
		TwinBee overall is a classic shooter that never got a solid chance to find its audience in North America.

		Where Pop'n Twinbee differs from Detana is in the seemingly minor but hugely beneficial changes that have been made to the gameplay.
		In Pop'n Twinbee it's always possible to recover from your mistakes as coloured bells are easier to come by, energy recharges can be scavenged from ground targets and speed isn't such a determing factor in your survival.
		To reiterate - Pop'n Twinbee is one of the most attractive, charming and idiosyncratic shooters ever made, and it has the playability to match.

		And Twinbee winds the hands of time back a few years, probably almost forcing the way into the "classic" section of shooters.
		Twinbee can almost be considered a cute-em-up, combining traditional shooter bosses with a silly, japanese crazyness style theme.
		Twinbee is like some small gun-shootin' companion to some young kids (or this is what I can gather from the midlevel pics).

	Game Review
		Twinbee is the mechanoid spacecraft that many will remember in Parodius, but actually is the star of many Japanese Twinbee games, along with sidekick ship Winbee.
		Gameplay can be described as very similar to Parodius but viewed from the top--you guide Twinbee through scrolling levels, as wave after wave of various flying and ground-based enemies try to shoot you down, leading to a Boss at the end.
		Fortunately, Twinbee's basic weapons can be upgraded by shooting clouds, which in turn releases bells.

	Twinbee 3-D (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Twinbee is essentially a stubby torpedo with stubby arms and legs.
		The extra plus that Twinbee has is it's jet-like propulsion that it can use to stream along city streets and castle interiors.
		Since the new Twinbee game is still a work in progress, there is no definite delivery date but we are expecting it to be released before the end of the year.

	Classic Review Archive - Pop'n Twinbee
		The saga of Twinbee is one of the many tragedies of the history of home video gaming (and who else would propogate this other than Konami?) Originally an arcade game released in Japan in 1985, the Twinbee series soon spawned a few Famicom titles (one of them was released here in America, known as Stinger.
		I absolutely love the Twinbee's voice, whenever he grabs a power-up or screams as he's shot down from the air.
		Even better is the sound of the Chibi...as the Twinbee or Winbee bloats up, it makes a very amusing "POP" noise when they seemingly give birth to a gamut of tiny little clones.

		You choose to pilot either Twinbee or Vic Viper, and then fly through a long level which accommodates the kind of backgrounds and characters seen in both games.
		To be honest, the Twinbee section is nothing special - it's very similar to the original Twinbee (especially, in graphical terms, the NES release).
		After clearing out the Goemon levels, you board Twinbee and are then given a choice between two shooter stages.

	Twinbee 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		f you couldn't guess it from either the title or the label art, this is a game in the Twinbee series and is the sequel to the game released in the US as Stinger (the second in the series).
		The original game (Twinbee) was a cart and disk-system release way back in 1985 and is kind of like Stinger, but with overhead stages only.
		Besides the three NES games, there is also Pop 'n Twinbee for the SFC, which is an excellent shooter and coveted by SNES freaks across the globe.

	Marc Bear!'s 1UP Blog: Twinbee series! Bring it here!!!
		The TwinBee team fights against the forces of evil, which has changed over the years, but the most used villain is Dr. Warumon.
		Twinbee took it a step further by being one of the first games to feature a 3-player mode on a home system.
		Since I played TwinBee on the NES on one of those uber-illegal xx-in-1 multi-carts (I've witnessed many a vendor being escorted out by police just for selling these multi-carts), I've been looking for the game since.

	Stinger Review
		The renowned scientist, living with his creations the TwinBee ships, was busy studying the science of sweets and candy when all of the sudden evil hungry aliens attacked his abode and kidnapped him.
		If TwinBee doesn’t take off and save his inventor, the aliens will surely succeed in their dastardly plan to turn the world into delicious cotton candy.
		The TwinBee series just wouldn’t be the same if it lacked the bells and the wonderful clinging sound that accompanies them.

	Pop'n Twinbee: Graffiti : SoundtrackCentral.com
		Pop'n Twinbee is one of my favorite shooters on the SNES/Super Famicom platform, of course never released in America.
		Pop'n Twinbee Graffiti includes a lot of neat stuff - there's the entire original soundtrack, a handful of remix tracks, and a short drama track from one of the main characters of the game, the cute little girl Madoka.
		Anyone who's ever played a Twinbee game knows the sort of music to expect - fast paced, light and fun, though lacking in any powerful percussion (it's mostly horns and strings).

	Pastel (Twinbee) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pastel is a character from the game series of Twinbee.

	NINTENDO LAND - REVIEW: Pop'n Twinbee : Rainbow Bell Adventures, SNES
		The Twinbee gang are mostly famous for their frantic top-down shooting escapades, coated in a thick layer of cutesy bizzarity.
		They're quite a big name in Japan as well, where they've had their own radio drama shows, CDs and, erm...pencil boards (of which I managed to nab one evil laugh).
		Basically, it involves a nutty professor ripping off seven legendary "rainbow bells" that preserve intergalactic peace, and the Twinbee team rush to the rescue.

	Reviews for TwinBee vs Raichu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The sprites were off a poor quality particularly the TwinBee one, also the sound was a bit poor and a few of the sound effects were a bit annoying.
		The only thing that sucked about it was that Raichu was extremely hard to kill and like when it shows the double electric shock spheres,i shoot the crap outta them but they still hit me. I dunno if that's a glitch or if i have to aim in a certain spot.
		When you ripped the TwinBee character,it looked kinda crappy but i knew what he really looked like,so it was still cool.

		Detana Twinbee is showing it's age quite badly now with pretty plain looking graphics and low sampled music.
		It features loads of speech as you'd expect plus far better visuals than the other Twinbee game mixing beautiful backgrounds with a few nice scaling effects.
		It's just a shame that the Twinbee series has vanished in recent years along with Parodius.

	Geoffrey Miller's Page on 1UP.com
		Numerous sequels and spinoffs followed, although the only TwinBee game officially released in America was Stinger, which was unusual by virtue of featuring horizontally scrolling levels alongside the usual vertical ones.
		I wasn't sure what to expect: The very idea of taking TwinBee, a series with the flimsiest backstory imaginable, and turning it into an RPG was ridiculous.
		You talk to Princess Melora (one of the many poorly defined recurring TwinBee characters), free her from being trapped in some sort of glowing prism thing, then get beamed down into the TwinBee world.

	Skytopia : SNES game music - reviews
		"Twinbee Yahho" is yet another 'sequel' to Pop'n Twinbee on the Sega Saturn (also containing Detana Twinbee).
		Yahho's graphics are possibly even better thanks to the Saturn's crisper resolution, though perhaps the music isn't quite up to the same standard as Pop'n Twinbee...
		Styled differently to most of the music from Pop'n Twinbee, this tune has a deeper orchestral flavour.

	TwinBee vs Raichu
		Graphics: The Final Fight backdrops looked alright, but the sprites aren't of the best quality and the room where the key is found looks like crap.
		The Twinbee music was highly catchy, but I couldn't hear the boss music over the gunshots.
		Style: Pokemon bashing isn't the most original thing even back in 2000, but to be fair I really hated that franchise back then (I like it now, but only as a game).

	Pop'n Twinbee for SNES Reviews - SNES Pop'n Twinbee Reviews
		Pop N' Twinbee is a scrolling shooter with a lot of action made in a very cute way with a lot of elements that really don't make much sense.
		But overall the game is a lot of fun, especially if played by a younger audience.
		My impression is that the sounds were lessened to make the game seem less violent.

		The second main difference is the addition of bell power-ups, from the Twinbee series.
		These bells act as one-time power-ups, allowing you to destroy every enemy on screen, fire huge beams of energy, etc. Enemies and environments from the Gradius games and Twinbee are mixed in along, with a host of anime-style opponents, which include scantily-clad women.
		Due to the color bug, it could be considered that Winbee, rather than Twinbee, has the most appearances in video games, however this Twinbee doesn't have the same cockpit windshield design as either Twinbee, Winbee or Gwinbee.

		The Salamander series, which alternated between vertical and horizontal scrolling, was a popular spin-off of Gradius in Japan.
		Twinbee is another game that was popular in Japan but not aggressively exported.
