Samurai Showdown on SNES was better than the SEGA version. Why? Because unfortunately, the SEGA version was a little choppy and a lot of the sounds were taken out. Also, the fat "ninja" who wore pink, Earthquake, was also left out. \

Granted yes the SNES version made no references at all to "killing" your opponent in the pre-match intros but who really paid attention to those? Thought not.

Anyway, the gameplay is pretty basic on here. Hack and slash, occasionally use a special move and cut your opponent in 2. Like a lot of the fighting games of its time and now, it's replay value is somewhat low depending on how into the series you are.

Even so, Samurai Showdown was a good game. Give it a shot. Maybe see if a friend has it or if you still can, rent it.

This review is from: Samurai Shodown (Video Game)

Samurai Shodown released by Takara for the SNES is awesome considering the era in which it was created. It is a bushido style fighting game mixed with special moves for the characters like the Street Fighter series. Best two out of three matches wins a duel. Each character is unique and there are many different kenpo weapons on display in this game from small razor-sharp sabers to massive scimitars. It is also possible to play as the end boss, Amakusa, in the Countdown and 2P versus modes**code needed**. My favorite character of the main selection is Tam-Tam, a Mayan warrior with a large, curved sword. Galford and Nakoruru have animal friends that assist them in battle, which is a cool feature. Galford has a dog/wolf and Nakoruru has a cormorant/falcon. Each character has a different reason for why they are seeking the energy orb that Amakusa possesses...some for good, others for evil. One more special feature is that the computer is a learning computer, even on this version, meaning that if a player continues to use the same attack pattern, the CPU will learn how to counter it, even on easy mode. Mixing-up attacks and defensive stances will give greater yields of success. BOTTOM LINE: This game is fun and is worth playing. I highly recommend purchasing Samurai Shodown.

This is a very fun fighting game and has many different elements compared to other fighters of its time aka street fighter, mortal kombat, etc. I would recommend it to any fighting game fan or SNES collector.
