From Wikipedia:

"Gunbird 2 is a 2D scrolling shooter developed by Psikyo and released in Japanese arcades in 1998 by Capcom. The game was ported to the Dreamcast in 2000 and released worldwide. It is a sequel to the original Gunbird (1994). There are seven stages in each game loop (two loops total). The first three stages are randomly chosen from possible four. At the second loop, enemies fire denser bullet patterns moving at faster speeds. Stage 2-1 takes place at the only stage not available in 1st loop, instead of the 1-1 counterpart. After completing the first loop with only one player, player can choose one of two choices for a wish with magic potion, with unique ending for each choice. If 1st loop is completed with two players, a combination-specific ending is played. This is the first Psikyo shooter to feature medal-chaining: picking up 2000 point medals (when they flash) repeatedly results in a slight point increase and a coin chain, recorded separately from the score. This was later featured in Strikers 1945 III/Strikers 1999 and Strikers 1945 Plus. The arcade game supports both English and Japanese languages, chosen via arcade board dip switch settings. The language setting is Japanese if dip switches are set to Japanese, English otherwise. New fighters in the Sega Dreamcast, released in 2000, include Morrigan and Aine (an unlocked character). Other new features include Internet ranking, gallery, and voices during intermission."
