I can get a naomi gigawing2, but it's 200 bones. Is it a good enough shooter for that price?
GigaWing2, Worth 200 bucks?

Are you talking about a loose naomi cart? I think I've seen them for around 100$. I'd say it's worth that much, but not 200$.
EDIT: cosmicco has it rom-only for 85$ (310$ for the kit, I guess includes mobo and I/O)

if it's a full kit and complete 200 might be good, but it still seems too much, when you can get the DC version for like 30 and hook it to your cab.

My favourate thing about Gigawing 2 are those brilliant voice samples for the reflect force and laser. They almost make the game worth owning. 
Stupidly these were removed from the US DC version robbing it of its character.
This game gets really, really cheap on later levels, even by shooter standards, kinds ruins the game IMO.

Basically on the DC version you can set it to mindless fun... no skill required to beat it.
I love the music in that game, its brilliant!
The whole 1920's look is amazing and how the future plays into the game...
Airships, Tanks, Underwater...

I played Giga wing 2 like berserk and I can't get into it. Except the OMG hi res effect of the first plays, the game still didn't prove me that it has brought improvements over the first opus. The end is fucked up with the repetitive boss fights.
Just my 2 cents

Actually, I've found Giga Wing 2 to have game-balance bordering on Strikers 1945 II. The level-design really is very ingeniously laid out, and the 3 final boss battles are actually well paced because they involve completely different tactics for maximizing score/dodging.
I've gotten very close to lifing the game at the Japanese default settings (lost a life in stage 6) without using bombs. I hope to finally nail the totally perfect bombless run soon.. although, my score will be pathetic.
