The Neo Geo Pocket Color was the first reasonably-priced device SNK ever marketed to the masses and they were smart to release a lot of their best-known franchises on it. The mere fact that we have the ability to play Neo Geo games anywhere is incredible as these games were once quarter-munchers if you were lucky and playing them at home cost $600 for a console and about $200 per game. Over the past three-and-a-half years, we’ve seen the library grow from a revamped Street Fighter II HD port to having an all-encompassing Street Fighter collection, many separate Neo Geo classic fighters and the recent Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection to more modern games like Blade Strangers and even Mortal Kombat XI. The Switch as a gaming platform has been something of an embarrassment of riches for fighting game fans. The first NGPC game to get any kind of a Switch release, however, was actually Samurai Shodown 2 as part of a pre-order bonus for the rebooted Samurai Shodown - which is now out with a separate release alongside King of Fighters R-2. There, you had a game that focused on female fighters in a way that was unlike anything then or really now in that it wasn’t just a cheesecake game filled with fanservice and instead made you learn the ins and outs of the characters and their attack patterns. Using revolutionary Deep Learning AI, the game will learn from player tactics and create Ghost characters which players around the globe can share and fight against.In May we covered the first Neo Geo Pocket Color release to get a set release on Switch in SNK Gals’ Fighters. This pack includes SAMURAI SHODOWN’s main game and a Season Pass. Using revolutionary Deep Learning AI, the game will learn from player tactics and create Ghost characters which players around the globe can share and fight against. Using the power of UNREAL® ENGINE 4, the series is able to achieve a level of detail never before seen for a totally new visual experience!

The new game aims to bring the same tense and exhilarating battles that the series is known for. With its story set one year before the very first installment, warriors and combatants from various backgrounds and with their own goals are about to battle to fulfill their destinies!

11 years have passed since the last series installment, and it is now time for SAMURAI SHODOWN to return in a brand-new game featuring high-end visuals and gameplay! Faithfully reproducing the game mechanics and atmosphere that contributed to the success of the series, SAMURAI SHODOWN includes a revolutionary feature that learns players’ game actions and patterns in order to create CPU-controlled “ghost” characters. SAMURAI SHODOWN has enjoyed worldwide success as a blade-wielding fighting game series since its first release in 1993.
