Giga Wing

Giga Wing (ギガウイング) for the Sega Dreamcast. Developed by Takumi Corporation and published directly by Capcom, this legendary vertically scrolling shoot-’em-up made its high-profile retail debut on store shelves in Japan on November 11, 1999.

Capcom and Takumi Corporation unleash an absolute bullet-hell masterclass, pushing the graphical limits of 128-bit hardware to its absolute vertical zenith with the mind-boggling scale of Giga Wing on the Sega Dreamcast. Set against a high-stakes, dieselpunk military alternate reality, the narrative challenges players to master four highly distinct, custom-armed pilots Sinnosuke, Ruby, Stuck, and Isha as they engage in a catastrophic war to secure or destroy a reality-warping artifact known as the Medallion. Moving completely away from traditional shooter tropes that penalize defensive positioning, the core gameplay engine introduces the revolutionary, tactical Reflect Force sub-system.

By pairing an incredibly intense, screen-filling density of hostile projectiles with a score-keeping layout that scales numbers all the way into the trillions, this historic shooter pioneer delivers an absolute mandatory crown jewel standard-bearer for elite shmup purists and arcade collectors worldwide
