Imports on VC this Monday: Bomberman '94, Detana!! Twinbee

You may be familiar with Bomberman '94 as the Genesis/Mega Drive Mega Bomberman. The original PC Engine version was only released in Japan. This one features kangaroos that Bomberman can ride (who can also take an explosion for him). Detana!! Twinbee is an absolutely beautiful vertical-scrolling cute-em-up from Konami, in a series rarely seen in North America.
Being imports, both games will cost 700 Wii Points. And being Hudson Virtual Console games, we can't be sure they'll actually show up on time.

Wow, I actually remember playing TwinBee. Cute-em-up is a very precise description.

I remember lusting after Bomberman '94 after seeing it in a Japanese PC Engine magazine back in the day. Glad to see it coming stateside.
I know it'll never happen, but I want to see Ys IV localized for a US VC release. No need to re-record the audio, just do English subtitles. Thanks!

Too bad. For a second I was hoping that Twinbee, would be the platformer as I own the shooter for my SNES and always liked the platformer better.

My brother is obsessed with the Louie Kangaroos ever since PSX's Bomberman Fantasy Race. And I do remember playing Mega Bomberman on the Sega Channel.
As for Twinbee, I hope we get Twinbee Adventure soon.

I already have Bomber'93, AND WiiWare Bomberdoohickey.
I don't need another!
Come on Hudson, you've got better than that. Surely!?

Is Twinbee and Stinger for NES related?

Yes, they are the same series.
