In a surprise announcement made shortly before the collection was released, developer Digital Eclipse revealed that it unearthed the rumored "lost" SamSho title that's packaged here as Samurai Shodown V: Perfect. The collection contains both the English and Japanese versions of each game, but that's not all. Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection bundles all six SamSho fighting games that appeared on the Neo Geo arcade machine and home console: Samurai Shodown (1993), Samurai Shodown II (1994), Samurai Shodown III (1995), Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge (1996), Samurai Shodown V (2003), and Samurai Shodown V Special (2003). What’s Included in Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection?
NEO GEO GAMES FOR PC PC
Overall, Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection is a wonderful piece of playable history, with the only blight against the PC game being its mediocre online components.
NEO GEO GAMES FOR PC PLUS
The Samurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection, the companies' follow up to the delightful SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, contains all the SamSho games that appeared on the original Neo Geo, plus production art, SNK staff interviews, and a true surprise-an unreleased title that only briefly saw a location test. Still, SNK's desire to repackage its greatest hits for new platforms is admirable, especially when the company pairs with the excellent video game preservationists at Digital Eclipse. In fact, it could be argued that SNK relies too heavily on its back catalog, as the company has released just four new console games since 2010.
There are far too many video game publishers that leave their classic titles to rot, but SNK is not one of them.
