You can play Giga Wing online via 2Dfighter, which is pretty neat.
I was playing Giga Wing with a few shmups members a couple weeks ago. I must admit the first time I played through the game with someone, we got our asses handed to us so we just creditfed through. As the credits ran I typed to him "You know, this game is kinda easy, we could easily go for a 1CC". We then no missed the game right up until the last boss, we pulled through and made it to the TLB (that annoying little black ship) where the bullet patterns went into bullshit mode, we dropped a credit on the TLB so we only got a 2CC. We could of gotten the 1CC with better use of our shields and bombs.
One of the things I really like about Giga Wing is how quick it was for me to get comfortable with the ships hitboxes, it's a lot less stressful to play than DoDonPachi.
