Samurai Shodown 2

They're baaack!!! SNK is planning on releasing Samurai Shodown II very soon, and arcade junkies everywhere are rejoicing! The first Samurai Shodown enjoyed an almost cult-like following and became a big hit later in its illustrious career. Shodown ranked alongside of fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II in play control, graphics, sound,and technique. Shodown II appears to be a "chip off the old block." Apparently, all of your favorite fighters from the first Shodown are back to have another go at the title of the world's greatest samurai. In addition, there are four new characters joining the ranks. Some of these new characters are rather bizarre. One of the characters is a little old man who looks as though he couldn't hurt a flea!

Fortunately for him, he can Inflict a lot of damage to the other warriors using wild combos and special you'll notice is that some of been fairly tight-lipped about any major enhancements such as new moves, new stages, and a new end Boss. Expect to see some new enhancements, but don't expect Shodown II to be a whole new game. Needless to say, no matter what new goodies will be included in Shodown II. players everywhere will flock to this machine in the arcades. The first Shodown was such a runaway hit, the second one will probably great! Stay tuned for more on Shodown II in upcoming issues of EGM!
