The games setting, use of sword based weapons and varied and memorable characters was a departure from other fighters released at that time. It was this ‘out of the box’ thinking that allowed this franchise to flourish amongst the competition of the day.
‘Samurai Shodown set new standards in the fighting genre, and this has attributed to its ongoing success’, says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment Ltd. ‘this collection gives players the chance to see where the series came from. Where it goes in the future will be equally exciting’
GAME FEATURES:
- Contains all 6 Samurai Showdown games
- Choose from over 48 playable characters across the titles
- Experience intense sword based fighting
- Personalise your favourite character with the ‘Colour Edit Mode’

It's already released in Japan & maybe Europe too. I heard the NA version won't be released until April 14.
