This new release is said to be a reboot of the entire Samurai Showdown franchise. After the game enjoyed worldwide success back in 1993, things went quiet for the franchise. 11 years passed without any new edition or update from the developers. Then out of the darkness appeared Samurai Shodown once more for a full release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 last year.
Now the Nintendo Switch will be receiving its edition in only a few months. After being delayed out of 2019, the game is now listing a release date for February 15, 2020. It will not be long till Nintendo Switch fans can take up the blade and show their samurai dominance on a whole new battlefield.
The game includes faithfully recreated game mechanics from the original release of the series. The atmosphere tastes almost the same as the game tried to recreate the success found in 1993.
One of the most revolutionary features found in this game was the ability of the game to learn the player’s moves and patterns to create CPU-controlled “ghosts.” This allowed you to battle against an enemy that got strong with you, along with creating an interesting tactic for online play.
A revolutionary new AI system is in place to build upon that original ghost concept. A Deep Learning AI will learn from your movements and create your Ghost character, which will battle players around the globe. Train the ghost and represent your best self on the world stage of Samurai Shodown combat.
This new game is designed to bring back the same tense and exhilarating battles that the series is known for. Intense and epic battles of samurai and ninja created a challenging atmosphere that other games simply have not succeeded at recreating.
Mixing the traditional style with the power of Unreal Engine 4, the series is able to reach new heights. Graphically it is stunning, and with the highspeed combat is sure to create an epic experience.
Having any fighting game on the Nintendo Switch is a great opportunity. With the ability to remove the joy-cons and have instant couch co-op experiences, players will soon be able to battle their friends any time anywhere in epic samurai style. As the date gets closer, fans everywhere prepare to sharpen their skills and battle for supremacy on the Nintendo Switch.
A special pre-order bonus is available to fans. By pre-purchasing the game physically, players will receive a controller skin featuring Haohmaru and Yashamaru. If you pre-purchase the game digitally, you will instead receive a 10% discount and the Neo Geo classic Samurai Shodown 2.
