The best new addition to Yahho is the power ups that can be earned by bombing ground enemies. There is a new pink bell that seems to bring your arms back when you get it. Everything I said about Detana pretty much applies to Yahho too, though the purple bell isn't in it. The other three beams are a multi bomb that attacks both air and ground objects, a charge that makes a helper appear, and an extremely cool wind up punch. In Twinbee Yahho, you can choose from four different charge beams. It has some stages with windy areas where you have you avoid being blown in to objects of projectiles. Twinbee Yahho is similar to Twinbee Yahho, but has some new features. Losing both arms prevents the ship from bombing ground objects, though your helpers and the special Winbee power up can still bomb for you when you lose your limbs. However, if you lose your limbs again, you have to die to get them back. If you touch this ship you get your arms back. When both arms are gone, a flying ambulance comes to the rescue. Just like the NES Twinbee, the ship's arms fall off when they are shot, though you only lose one arm at a time, unlike the NES Twinbee. Gray is for double shot, yellow is for points, blue is for speed up, Green is for shadow (three other twinbees following you and shooting with you), Purple is for three followers that don't shoot (not sure exactly what this does), and the black bell is the evil bell that slows your ship down and probably removes power ups too. You attack both ground and air enemeis like Xevious.Īs usual, you shoot bells to make them change colors. You get extra points for destroying a group of enemies like the arcade version. The gameplay is similar to the NES and Arcade Twinbee where enemies fly in groups. It introduced the charge shot to the Twin Bee series, though it isn't used in Pop 'n Twinbee.
Twinbee shmup series#
It was the first game in the Twinbee series with the anime style characters and that style has stuck with the next two games in the series, Pop 'n Twinbee (not in this pack) and Twinbee Yahho. IMO, Detana Twinbee is an excellent game.

Nothing that interferes with gameplay, though. I didn't notice too much slowdown in either game, though Yahho has a slight amount of minor slowdown. Yahoo only has the arcade mode, which looks good, though it's a slight bit small, but not too small or pixlated looking, though.
Twinbee shmup full#
There is no Tate for either game, but Detana has a decent looking console style full screen mode and looks good in Arcade mode too. From what I heard, the PSX and Saturn versions are pretty much the same.īoth Detana and Yahho are arcade ports. The only games in the package are Detana Twinbee and Twinbee Yahho. I'm a bit irritated that the Xenocide files still have misleading info. I have the PSX Detana Twinbee Yahho Dexlue Pack.
