PSP Twinbee Portable - New Import, In Stock

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» When one thinks of Twinbee, pastel images and colored bells generally come to mind. Konami's Twinbee started out as a simple vertical shooter in 1985 and eventually led to sequels and gaming adjuncts such as a Twinbee RPG and a Twinbee platform action game. The unique feature of the Twinbee ship was its gloved hands which punched outwards as a secondary weapon. Twinbee game stages featured lots of clouds which released bells when shot. The bells served as power-ups when collected but keep shooting a bell and its color and attendant power-up changes.

 The games in the PSP collection hail from the arcade originals except for Twinbee Da! which is a remake of the Gameboy original. The remake is a visual feast of pastel and widescreen shooting action.

The titles included in Twinbee Portable are:

1) Twinbee (1985) Coin-op version
2) Twinbee DA! (1990) Gameboy Remake
3) Detana!! Twinbee (1991) Coin-op version
4) Pop n' Twinbee (1993) Coin-op version
5) Twinbee Yahho! Fushigi no Kuni de Ooabare (1995) Coin-op version

   Special PSP features include a screen modification facility, game setting toggles, and a save/load feature.

» Twinbee and Detana!! Twinbee both feature a vertical TATE mode where the PSP is rotated 90° counterclockwise or clockwise (the game allows for both vertical aspect orientations of the PSP). We prefer the "Right to Top" TATE mode where the d-pad and analog nub are located on the bottom and the face buttons are on the top.

» The SELECT button acts as the quarter inserter.

» Either the d-pad or analog nub may be used for control.

» The Music Gallery features approximately 100 BGM and sound effects from the five games. The Music Gallery features a versatile music player utility that can Repeat, Shuffle, and Skip tracks. If you highlight a track and play it, the player will automatically play the next track after each one ends.
