The king of fighters?
Kaede is fighting Yuki and weapons slash quickly as the two leap about the screen. Quick strikes from both, the action is fast as each looks to string together a series of moves to end the battle.

Neo Geo fighting at its finest
There are very few game consoles in existence that can compete with the diverse fighting game library of SNK's Neo Geo system.

About The Game
Originally released in 1997, The Last Blade is a fighting game set in the "Bakumatsu” period of Japanese history, where 10-plus swordsmen are fighting for different purposes.
The game is similar to its predecessors from the Samurai Showdown series released by the same company, but it differs in allowing players to choose between two sword types; the damage-focused “Power” or “Speed,” which promotes speedy play.
Other game elements include maneuvers like “Repel,” which allows players to deflect enemy attacks, and “Sublime Slash,” which cancels “Super Slice” and can be combined with “Super Secret Slice.” Don’t miss out on powerful -moves like "Super Secret Slice” and “Hidden Secret Slice.”

How many fighting games are there on Neo Geo? I thought this was an RPG...
From what I hear, this challenges even the Samurai Shodown series.
This is excellent news... Now only if it had button customization!
Wow awesome can't wait for the review.
@gojiguy FYI, it does have button configuration. I downloaded it yesterday.
One of the best fighting games.
More like one of the best fighters ever.
IMO the Best NeoGeo Title. Had the original AES and Im glad that it find its way to the Switch with all the other NeoGeo Titles. Of course its not the same, but now Im not so sad anymore that I had to sell my NeoGeo Collection last year.
