 Although it is a vertically-oriented game, it features a wide aspect ratio (commonly referred to as '''"vertizontals"''' in the STG fandom). It is the second game Takumi released, and the first featuring their own original IP. The game was published by [[Capcom]].<br>
 It is notable for its massive score potential -- reaching even higher than the trillions when played for score proper, huge number of bullets on-screen, and its bullet- reflecting mechanic -- one of the first of its kind -- which would prove to become a central idea in all of Takumi's games moving forward.

 In ''Giga Wing'', the player is fighting through a war in a futuristic steampunk setting, with the end goal of destroying the '''Medallion''' <small>''(spelled as "Medalion" in game)''</small>, a powerful artifact that is being used for evil. There are four characters in the game, each with their own story unfolding around the chase for the Medallion. Notably, if the game is being played with two players at once, another story unfolds where the two characters work as a team, and it even features both good and bad endings.

+"Numerous wars have been fought since ancient times - many civilizations have emerged and disappeared. The cause of the wars is Medallion, a divine stone that brings both prosperity and destruction to humankind. Uncounted civilizations have sought it, fought for it and vanished. What they gained in their struggle for power was nothing short of annihilation!
