Samurai Showdown on SNES was better than the SEGA version. Why? Because unfortunately, the SEGA version was a little choppy and a lot of the sounds were taken out. Also, the fat "ninja" who wore pink, Earthquake, was also left out. \
Granted yes the SNES version made no references at all to "killing" your opponent in the pre-match intros but who really paid attention to those? Thought not.
Anyway, the gameplay is pretty basic on here. Hack and slash, occasionally use a special move and cut your opponent in 2. Like a lot of the fighting games of its time and now, it's replay value is somewhat low depending on how into the series you are.
Even so, Samurai Showdown was a good game. Give it a shot. Maybe see if a friend has it or if you still can, rent it.
SNK shodowns?

When I first saw samurai shodown for the SNES I was so amazed of the animations and the sword fighting play.Then some game company called SNK made samurai spirits as a remixed version of samurai shodown but,somehow SNK made the samurai spirits into better gameplay than Takara did.There was some characters that had better attacks but some were weak then ever!well you know that the secret character is Amakusa,and in the samurai spirits game there was two secret characters,one is Amakusa and two is this samurai called Kuroko (or Kuki for short.)well,it was not fair for this to happen in SNES version... But at least the samurai shodown series will go on as a arcade hit to remember this for a long time now.....
To good to remember....
