SNK has announced that Digital Eclipse' Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection will be hitting PC and consoles in the very near future. Not only that, but Samurai Shodown (2019) is finally getting is long-awaited PC port and will arrive on Epic Games Store June 11.
The Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection is, as the name suggests, a compilation of the classic SamSho titles released for SNK's console throughout the '90s and into the early '00s. Included in the compendium are Samurai Shodown (1993), Samurai Shodown II (1994), Samurai Shodown III (1995), Samurai Shodown IV: Akamatsu's Revenge (1996), Samurai Shodown V (2003) and its expanded edition, Samurai Shodown V Special (2004).
But easily the most intriguing element is the inclusion of Samurai Shodown Perfect, a never-before-released revision of Samurai Shodown V that was originally destined to be the final Neo Geo release, but unfortunately never saw the light of day, becoming something of an urban legend among series fans.
The Neo Geo collection will include online support, a museum chock-full of over 2000 marketing materials, and a soundtrack player. Additional features include dip-switch settings, English and Japanese language support, and screen filter options. This release seems a must-buy for SNK heads and fight fans everywhere.
