New Samurai Shodown coming to Japan arcades
Beta test of a new Samurai Shodown will take place this weekend, says SNK Playmore.
TOKYO--The company behind the ill-fated Neo-Geo game console said today it is developing a new Samurai Shodown title for arcades. The game will be called Samurai Spirits: Tenka Ichi Kenkaku-den, and will run on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade platform. This weekend, SNK Playmore will be beta testing the new title in selected Japanese arcades.
SNK Playmore recently opened a new Web site for the Samurai Shodown series. Currently, the site is only in Japanese, and most of the pages are still under construction. An English section is on the way.
Once the site is complete, the company says it will offer introductions for each of the previous Samurai Shodown titles, profile data of characters from the series, developer columns, links to fan sites, and a download section.
