There are three difficulties, allowing first time players to easily get the "rhythm" of the game. Just think chiptune music, but with DDR!! There was not a single song that I found difficult to listen to whilst playing, except for Pink Dinosaur.ĭDR GB3 has 20 songs, all of which are MIDI versions from standard DDR games, including Dream a Dream, Love Again Tonight, and Trip Machine Climax. Dance Dance Revolution GB3 takes advantage of this, by making well known DDR songs into thumpy, melodic and pulsating MIDI scores. The Game Boy Color is known for having a wonderful 8-bit sound chip, used by almost every chiptune artist. It can also be played with just the D-Pad, but you'll need to use the A and B buttons to press two "arrows" at once. Using crazy alien mechanics, it presses down the Game Boy's buttons. With the Game Boy Color version, players use a handheld dancepad that hooks onto the Game Boy. DDR was aimed at being a dancing simulator, but has since become an arcade legend, that one game you're weird friend has for PS2, and even an exercise tool. They were only released in Japan, and exercise is not required.ĭance Dance Revolution is a rhythm game, in which players hit four buttons (with their feet) in correspondence with the rhythmically arranged arrows on screen. If that wasn't surprising enough, there are five installments. Dance Dance Revolution was brought to the Game Boy Color.

Twinbee Da! for Game Boy is rare in quantity, but goes for less than $20 whenever the Japanese version is found. Twinbee is a good game for hardcore Game Boy collectors and shmup fans, but in terms of availability, I will redirect you to the Gradius and R-Type series. Otherwise, getting tri-shots and multiple "ghosts" of yourself make you feel like a boss. The bottom line is, if your ship is too slow at the second half of the game, you are then practically unable to navigate through thick hoards of bullets. You loose your power-ups after dying, unless you collect the "angel" icon with your next life, thus regaining all your previous power-ups. However, the speed of your ship is an upgradable power-up, and starts out way too slow. Some bells are designed to give you certain power-ups, which can be learned and memorized in the beginning part of Stage 1. Shooting bells until they turn into what you need can be a restless pain. A fun arcade game to burn time on, and a great challenge for shmup fans, as long as you can get past it's only major flaw: Those who've played the home console versions will notice the lack of color, but that does not threaten enjoyability. The steady difficulty and varying bullet patterns keep the repetition at zero. The difficulty starts out easy, with enough action on screen to keep you busy. The excitability and cute nature of the game makes it kick all sorts of ass, and poses a worthy title for shmup fans to seek out. There are six total stages, and the first four are selectable from the start menu. Enemy ships attack you in formations, and the bullets are shot at you based on your location. You shoot the bells to change their pattern, and the power-up you receive is based on whatever pattern it is when you collect it. You obtain power-ups by collecting bells. Twinbee quite literally throws the bombs with his fists. You shoot enemies in the air with your standard bullets, and bomb ground enemies. Genreal gameplay is quite good, and very similar to Xevious.
BEST VERSION OF TWINBEE SERIES
The series is very cartooney, enriched with color and cutesy enemies. Twinbee Da for the Game Boy is a sequel to the original incarnation. Twinbee is a shmup series created by Konami, with installments released between the 8-bit and 32-bit console generations. (Released as "Pop'n Twinbee" in Europe, and "Twinbee Da!" in Japan.) Second truth: I am slowly becoming a shmup snob, and will need a psychiatrist in about a year. The genre has such a versatile nature that it can be. Galaga and Darius Gaiden are not the same. It can be treated as an action game, a hair-trigger reflex game, or the complete innovation of the entire genre, like Ikaruga. Most people tend to think that all shmups are the same, but there are two possible truths: First truth, the simple concept can be conceived by developers in many different ways.
