Twin Cobra II is a 1995 arcade game published by Taito Corporation for the video arcade market. It is the sequel to Twin Cobra. The game was in development by Toaplan, but it was closed down in 94. Since Taito owned the Tiger-Heli/Twin Cobra rights, being the publishers and all, they let Takumi finish up the game. It was their first release.

Twin Cobra II is the sequel to Twin Cobra. The game is a fast 2D vertical scrolling shooter in which players (one, or two in co-op) control a helicopter, flying forward and shooting all enemies on screen. There are three special weapons to use, changed by a special icon - balanced red, wide-area blue and powerful green. The green one is different depending on whether it's used by player one or two. There are also now "Hyper Bombs" available, powered up versions of the normal ones. These are usable after collecting the full stock of normal bombs. The arcade game has six stages, the Saturn port contains an additional one.
