Play Detana TwinBee Yahho! Deluxe Pack Online

Summary

Detana TwinBee Yahho! Deluxe Pack bundles two classic TwinBee shooters—Detana!! TwinBee and TwinBee Yahho!—into a single PlayStation (and Sega Saturn) disc. Both arcade originals arrive faithfully reproduced, though the PlayStation version drops the vertical (TATE) screen mode that the arcade cabinets offered. In Detana!! you pilot TwinBee or WinBee as Light and Pastel, blasting clouds for bell power‑ups and using a two‑button scheme (gun then bomb), while the newer Yahho! cranks the pace, lets you pick difficulty, charged‑shot type and control style before you even start, and adds extra voice work.

The compilation’s charm lies in its nostalgic bells‑and‑bombs gameplay, especially the two new bell colors—purple and black—introduced in Detana!!. Yahho! pushes the series forward with faster scrolling and more customization, giving veteran pilots a fresh challenge without abandoning the series’ signature cute‑shoot‑’em‑up feel.

Konami released the set on September 29 1995, and it later resurfaced as a budget title in 1997’s “PlayStation the Best for Family” line and again in 2003’s “PS One Books” series. Combined Japanese sales topped 156 000 units, with a strong first‑week showing of over 60 000 on PlayStation and 55 000 on Saturn.

Critics were split: reviewers praised the faithful arcade conversions and the value of two games in one, but lamented Detana!!’s slower pacing, unlimited continues, and the overall short playtime. Scores ranged from GameFan’s 238/300 to Sega Saturn Magazine’s 7.33/10, reflecting a mixed but generally appreciative reception.

Storyline

In Detana TwinBee Yahho! Deluxe Pack, you play as the pilots Light and Pastel, each flying their iconic ships TwinBee and WinBee. The duo receives an SOS from Princess Melora and sets out to protect planet Meru from the alien menace Iva. Their mission expands in the Yahho! portion, where a new threat, Archduke Nonsense, seeks the Harp of Happiness to dominate the world.

Answering a second distress call from Flute, a fairy serving Queen Melody, Light and Pastel travel to the Land of Wonders island. There they must stop Archduke Nonsense’s invasion and recover the Harp before it can be misused. The combined adventure weaves the two classic shooters into a single storyline, linking the alien and whimsical foes.

Throughout the game, the heroes battle through colorful skies, using TwinBee and WinBee’s firepower to defend both Meru and the Land of Wonders, fulfilling the SOS pleas and restoring peace.
