The player takes control of a cartoon-like anthropomorphic spacecraft, with Player 1 taking control of TwinBee, the titular ship, while Player 2 controls WinBee. TwinBee can be played by up to 2-players simultaneously. Whilst most versions of the game are exclusive in Japan, the aforementioned 3DS and Switch versions are available across all regions. On top of those, the Famicom and MSX versions of the game have been re-released via the Virtual Console service on the Wii U, and the arcade version is available on the Switch as part of Hamster's Arcade Archives series. This is one example of the staggering number of ports the game has subsequently been released on over the next decades, including Famicom Mini and 3D Classics throwbacks for the Game Boy Advance console and eShop online service on the 3DS, respectively.
The original game was released outside Japan for the first time in the Nintendo DS compilation Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits. TwinBee was ported to the Famicom in 1986 and the Famicom Disk System in 1988, with other ports and appearances in compilations following soon after. Along with Sega's Fantasy Zone, released a year later, TwinBee is credited as an early archetype of the "cute 'em up" type in its genre. It was originally released as an arcade game in 1985 in Japan. Romaji: TsuinBī) is a cartoon-themed vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up game developed by Konami.
