The Nintendo 3DS received many ports of retro classics during its lifespan, including the great TwinBee. This port is a remake of the original TwinBee that was released exclusively in Japan in the 1980s. On September 22, 2011, the title made it to consumers worldwide. Unfortunately, this game is no longer available officially since the Nintendo 3DS e-shop was discontinued. 3D Classics: TwinBee is still available to those who bought it before the shop was discontinued and for those who choose to emulate it.

3D Classics: TwinBee Premise
Unlike some of the other 3D classics that made their way to the Nintendo 3DS, this game was a direct one-to-one port. You can enjoy playing the shoot ’em up game TwinBee, developed by Konami, either alone or with a friend. Players take control of TwinBee and WinBee while destroying enemies and picking up various power-ups. If two players are playing, they can align their ships vertically or horizontally to synchronize their attacks and perform new ones.
