My first ever Neo-Geo game, and it was worth every penny ( it cost over £200 in 1993).

This was My first ever Neo-Geo game and for 900 Wii points ( about £6) it is great, for a fifteen year old game the visuals are still quite good today, with good background detail and Huge characters. The control system is simple, it is easy to pick up and play, but you will have to use more skill after about four fighters, instead of luck. Each character has their own unique weapon and also if you press both attack buttons you get a extra/stronger attack. So if you like beat them ups and have a few Wii points to burn, go ahead and get a game that cost over £200 originally.

Samurai Shodown, known as Samurai Spirits in Japan, is the first game in SNK's popular series of fighting games. It was set in the late 18th century and all of its characters wielded weapons. It also bore comparatively authentic music from the time period, rife with sounds of traditional Japanese instruments, such as the shakuhachi and shamisen, and a refined version of the camera zoom first found in Art of Fighting.

True to its use of bladed weapons, the game also included copious amounts of blood. Its overall aesthetic drew in the curious, and made SNK many fans.

The game quickly became renowned for its fast pace, focused more on quick, powerful strikes than the combos.
