Hey guys and gals,
Out of pure boredom (or perhaps a desire to justify my Neo expenditures) I took a trip down to the Sunnyvale Golfland earlier today to experience the new Samurai Shodown in all of its goodness. If the ingame title screen is any indication, it looks like the US version will be named Samurai Shodown V after all (unless that V really stands for “very rehashed material”). The game was receiving regular play from numerous interested parties but was not occupied as frequently as SVCC, probably because it was stuck in an old Warrior’s Rage cabinet with a blurry monitor. I got to watch pretty much the entire game seeing as some guy was hell bent on finishing it (took him 64 credits, with most wasted on the last boss). I only had a 32 MB card on me, but I put it to good use to bring you a few bits of video that will hopefully satiate any cravings until a widespread release. Shawn has contacted me and has been kind enough to offer to host these so that everyone will have a chance to download them without me having to worry about my bandwidth. Thanks go out to Vinh and Chris of SNK-Capcom.com for hosting these over the night to alleviate bandwidth stress on my website. I will take more videos of the other new characters today and will ask Shawn to create a page for all of them here on neo-geo.com.
Each clip is about 10-15 seconds long and ~5MB:

<a href="http://www.snk-capcom.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?movie2.mpg" target="_blank">Rasetsumaru vs. Nakoruru</a>
<a href="http://www.snk-capcom.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?movie3.mpg" target="_blank">Rasetsumaru vs. Hanzo</a>
<a href="http://www.snk-capcom.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?movie4.mpg" target="_blank">Rasetsumaru vs. Mina</a>
<a href="http://www.snk-capcom.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?movie5.mpg" target="_blank">Ukyo vs. Yoshitora</a>
<a href="http://www.snk-capcom.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?movie6.mpg" target="_blank">Yunfei vs. Yoshitora</a>
From what limited play I got, I saw the game as a very balanced visual mix of Samurai 3 and 4. I am not sure if that justifies spending $325+ on a new release, but then most people don’t complain about a new King of Fighters every year, so who am I to spoil the fun. On the other hand, the graphics in this game reek of “rehash” material to the point where they might as well have named is Samurai Shodown X. However, I am not here to judge but to share the convenient proximity of this location to my residence, so enjoy!
Sincerely,
Mikhail
