Detana Twinbee or Pop N Twinbee?

[KimagureMachibuse]

Both Detana Twinbee and Pop N Twinbee are games that quite similar in graphics and looks but are quite different in gameplay

I have played Detana Twinbee on the PS1 and found it to be a pretty difficult game mainly due to how much stuff is on the screen mainly the juggling the bells and some of the bosses to be quite challenging particulary the 2nd boss fight with the pirate ship.


judging from what i saw from Pop n Twinbee it looks much more colorful and no were near as difficult as Detana Twinbee i have yet to play it though but looks better to me.

would like to hear your opinons on both twinbee games and to see which you consider to be better?

Pop N is fun, colorful, and has some excellent music, but I prefer Detana as there's lots of neat goodies to uncover for scores, not to mention picking up Gwinbee for extra firepower, but is easy to lose. Pop N feels dull in that aspect as the only thing to uncover is the occasional heart to give yourself some life back if something hits you, the game being more forgivable compared to Detana, which has 1 hit deaths, though to be fair, you only get 1 life per continue on PopN.

Yeah, they're kind of very different games...

Detana is a hoot in co-op, even with someone who doesn't normally play shmups.
Pop seems designed to make the whole thing a bit easier, but honestly, dying is part of the fun.
