Name: Samurai Shodown
Author/Vendor: SNK/Takara
Released: 1994
Type: Fighting
Language: English
Premise: "A samurai fears nothing, struggles to triumph over evil, and lives for one purpose - to destroy all enemies." A conversion of the popular arcade versus fighter that manages to stand out from the crowd of Street Fighter clones due to its unique premise.
Impressions: Ported from the old Neo-Geo system, this is one of the worst Genesis fighters on the market. Almost nothing that matters has survived the porting process. Passable graphics, jerky animation, and frustrating gameplay. I like the SNES version better, but barely. (Rage Games)
Variations: Samurai Spirits (Japanese original)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
