Gunbird 2 (ガンバード2) is a 1998 arcade shoot-'em-up by Psikyo ported to the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. It is a sequel to Gunbird.

Gameplay

Like its predecessor, Gunbird 2 is a vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up with a light-hearted tone.

Owing to the fact Capcom published the game, Morrigan from the Darkstalkers series is a playable character.
