Those who have played the game will find playing it on the Wii or PS2 an easy transition.
Is samurai shodown anthology series#
Fans of the old series will have no trouble adapting to the controls, especially if you have played any Samurai Shodown title on the Wii or PS2 before, with the basic strong slash, quick slash, and kick attack setup, grapple moves and the devastating, life-draining use of the power bar. Players begin by playing the original Samurai Shodown and progress their way through each installment of the series, progressively becoming more difficult. Showcasing the beautiful art that makes this and other SNK titles so appealing, fans of the series will enjoy looking at the designs and variations of its characters. The Anthology also includes an Arcade mode and Practice mode as well as photo galleries featuring all characters throughout the six-game series to browse through.
Compiling all six games into one package, Samurai Shodown Anthology marks the 15 year anniversary since the series' debut, which is most recognized for its characteristic, two-dimensional artwork and for becoming one of the first weapons-based fighting games in the early 1990's.Įnsuring the appeal hasn't been lost, SNK has done its best to keep each of the six installments in Anthology true to the originals with a couple of small extras to boot. With its success, many sequels and spin-offs spawned including the Samurai Spirits collection as new gaming platforms have come and gone, and 2005 saw the final sixth installment of the Shodown series on the Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii. As a refresher, the long-running Samurai Shodown franchise got its humble beginnings on the Neo-Geo arcade and home console in 1993. Those who have long been searching through bins and store shelves to complete their Samurai Shodown collection need to look no further. Gamers old enough to remember the original releases as well as younger game fans seem to appreciate the reminiscent qualities of these re-releases when they work out, though they can sometimes feel flawed when transitioned onto newer consoles. The appeal of its titles has become multi-generational, with SNK re-releases popping up regularly including Fatal Fury: Battle Archives and the recent SNK Arcade Classics Vol. With the Neo-Geo now long extinct, its unique catalog of games bears a special kind of nostalgia in the hearts of many gamers.
