Who needs swords and ninja dogs when a good ol' bow and arrow can suffice? That's basically Mina Majikina's train of thought when she makes her 3D-slash-2D debut in 2019's best fighting game Samurai Shodown. SNK just dropped a trailer recently, stating that the bow and arrow girl (alongside her pet Chample) will be available this 26th February...

There's always something sublime about having a fighting game return to form while also injecting something new in a competitive scene. The 2019 version of Samurai Shodown does just that with a ton of swordplay and with raw power. What it lacks in esports tailoring and flair -like with Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 these days- it makes up for it b...

Samurai Shodown veterans may remember umbrella-wielding swordskid Shizumaru Hisame, known for dominating Samurai Shodown V Special tournaments alongside Kyoshiro, Ukyo, and Kusaregedo. https://youtu.be/yNzVnbdFzig?t=32 Welp, he's back in 2019's Samurai Shodown via a 16th September update. Unlike Kyoshiro however, he's anything but nerfed. Things...

Samurai Shodown is getting some plays and some online tournament love since its release. So will this game wow fans at EVO 2019 and beyond? Hopefully; the game's basic gameplay and neutral game-oriented fighting mechanics are just as good as the series' best (that's Samurai Shodown II and Samurai Shodown V Special, btw). In the meantime, let's dis...
Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One Genre: 2D weapons-based fighting game In light of the new & rebooted Samurai Shodown's lovely sumi-e aesthetics that mimic classical Japanese paintings of the 17th century, I've decided to just write the majority of the review in a traditional poem structure renowned in that period. Summarized thoughts are at the b...

The release date is for the PS4 and Xbox One versions. The PC and Nintendo Switch version will be slated for a Q4 2019 release. The best part? If you order the ga...

They'll also be an arcade version of the game this summer. But you're not here for that! You're here to find out more about the new additions to the SamSho lega...
It's been a while since fighting game fans had a dose of reality with how a 1-on-1 fighting game with swords should play out. As fun as SoulCalibur 6 was, most people would usually die after getting struck by a sword in just two to three hits, not the many combos shown off in Bandai Namco's crown jewel weapons-based fighter. Thankfully SNK is brin...
You heard right, fighting game fans and SNK enthusiasts. The one true weapons-based fighting game (sorry SoulCalibur/Soul Edge & Weaponlord) is making a comeback, baby! Don't believe me? Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FKoZb1sv64 Let's Break It Down Is it in 2D? Yes! The game is using the Unreal Engine 4 to make it look as wat...
