Stinger is an unusual entry in a long-running Konami series that has barely had any traction in the U.S. And... that's about all I have to say about it that wasn't covered in the video.

Anyway, next week will be something completely different.

Stinger retrospective: Two ’Bee or not two ’Bee? | NES Works #054

Another Konami shooter arrives, and this one encompasses a little bit of every other shooter to have appeared on the system to date. It's also tied to a long-running series, despite having been renamed in the U.S. So why does no one ever talk about this game? Is it because it was unbearably cute? Or is it because it was overshadowed by its own sibling release a year later?
