In Japan, Game Machine listed Savage Bees on their March 15, 1985 issue as being the fifteenth most-popular arcade game at the time.[4] Fan reception for the Famicom version was mixed: readers of Famimaga voted to give Exed Exes a 15.27 out of 30 score.[3] A reviewer of Gamest Mook noted that the insect and skull-themed enemies, the inorganic backgrounds, as well as the mysterious and anxiety-inducing music posed a unique and exciting atmosphere. He also praised the mechanic of turning enemies into collectable fruit items as "the greatest attraction" for this title.[5]
Savage Bees was included with its original name on the Capcom Generations Volume 3 for Sega Saturn and PlayStation, Capcom Classics Collection of PlayStation 2 and Xbox and Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded for PlayStation Portable. This game was released for the Wii Virtual Console Arcade in Japan on September 21, 2010, and in the PAL region and North America in January 2011. In 2013, it was released on Capcom Arcade Cabinet for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as Savage Bees. It is available in Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium, and as one of the rotating arcade games in Street Fighter 6's Game Center.[6]
