TwinBee

Common card · No. 450159

TwinBee is a 1985 vertically scrolling shooter developed and published by Konami as an arcade video game. Along with Sega's Fantasy Zone (1986), it is credited as an early archetype of the "cute 'em up" subgenre. It was the first game to run on Konami's Bubble System hardware. TwinBee was ported to the Family Computer and MSX in 1986, and has been included in numerous compilations released in later years. The original arcade game was released outside Japan for the first time as part of the Nintendo DS compilation Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits. A mobile phone version with edited graphics was released for Japanese i-mode mobile phones in 2003. Various TwinBee sequels were released for the arcade and home console markets following the original game, some of which spawned audio drama and anime adaptations in Japan.
