You haven't heard of Samurai Showdown 2? You must be a 90s baby.

I'd say that Samurai Showdown 2 was to 2D fighters what Soul Calibur is to 3D fighters. It was also the only reaso to own a NeoGeo. ;)

"Add-on packs: Get the advanced Shogi teaching packs; it's the easiest way to learn."

Really? I have to pay more to get the tutorial?

Um, no. More like a strategy guide.

I totally started the Wikipedia article on Shotest Shogi back on Feb 26th and it's culminated in the game's release!

Thanks, X3F !

As far as I can tell, SSII will not have online play. Am I reading this correctly or has someone else gotten any concrete evidence otherwise? It would truly suck if it doesn't although I could see this being the reason it's only $5.

Too late, already bought SS2 on the Virtual Console last week, though I guess I paid, um... (/me performs complicated space bucks conversion) CDN$2.60 too much. Oh well.

don't worry, the d-pad on the classic controller is 10 times better than that joke of a d-pad on the 360 controller. it doesn't even work well for games like metal slug or contra, let alone a complex 2d fighter that requires that amount of finesse.

unless you have an arcade stick...

I didn't know RB was a Garage Games production that puts my intrest in it much higher as I have been waiting for that company to put something else out after the amazing Marbleblast Ultra. Their physics engine is amazing as is their imagination.
