samurai shodown neogeo collection review

These boys sure know how to make great 2D fighters Samurai Shodown II continued the trend set by the original yet with a slightly different roster and cool new systems such as hops, taunts, Weapon Breaker attacks, and Sword Stun parries. Button-mashing to break out of locked swords is fun, too, and the Rage Gauge where losing players have a chance to overpower their adversary is brilliant. The original Samurai Shodown introduced genre fans to weapon-based combat where fighters could cause some serious damage if they used the right move at the right time while taking advantage of their opponent's position. The included games feature some of the most visceral classic 2D fighting that I've ever played. Although this is fantastic, I couldn't find any online matches to join as of yet but I prefer playing these games solo so I'm okay with that. Anyway, you can play each game via its American or Japanese version and you can also challenge others with local or online multiplayer matches after practicing in the standard solo arcade mode. Also, I should mention that every game except for Samurai Shodown V Perfect has been recently released as separate ACA NeoGeo ports so if you purchased those then it must sting having to get this, too, but it's totally worth it for the bonus game and all of the delightful museum-style content which I'll discuss later. I've played some of these games casually in the past and have enjoyed them quite a lot. Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection includes the first 5 mainline games from the series as well as 2 additional iterations of Samurai Shodown V so there are essentially 7 featured games.

It may be from 1993 but Samurai Shodown holds up beautifully Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is also available for PS4 and Nintendo SwitchĢD fighting games were the bomb back in the '90s and now, you can enjoy a great franchise from that era in one convenient collection.
