Summary
Containing all six titles from this hugely popular franchise, Samurai Shodown Anthology details why this is among SNK’s largest and popular franchises.
First appearing on the NEOGEO MVS system in July 1993, the game soon gained a massive following who immediately took to the games unique fast-paced, and sometimes brutal gameplay.
The games setting, use of sword-based weapons and varied and memorable characters was a departure from other fighters released at that time. It was this ‘out of the box’ thinking that allowed this franchise to flourish amongst the competition of the day.
