* The enduring nostalgic popularity of ''[=TwinBee=]'' persists in Japan to this day even though the last game for the series was released back in 1998 (or 1995 if you're talking about the last ShootEmUp made) is because of all the anime, radio dramas, cameos, and related media Konami released or approved of for the franchise.

Why? It's because of all the anime, radio dramas, cameos, and related media Konami released or approved of for the franchise.



* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqTroB81Ns Japanese commercial]] for ''Pop'n [=TwinBee=]'' was indeed [[ShapedLikeItself pop'n]]. They didn't need to go that hard on the commercial, but they did with its CGI [=TwinBees=] and [=WinBees=] as well as its [[{{Rotoscoping}} rotoscoped]] dance moves for Light and Pastel.

* According to this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh-ISK4mngU video]] about the history of ''[=TwinBee=]'', the ''Gradius'' and ''[=TwinBee=]'' arcade games were actually developed [[DuelingWorks at the same time]] by Creator/{{Konami}} to ensure they'd end up with at least one [[SleeperHit hit]] videogame of the [[QuietlyPerformingSisterShow two]]. What's awesome is that their gamble paid off and both works ended up becoming major successes in the 1980s.
