Samurai Shodown

That's just very captivating to look at.

Samurai Shodown did a really good job.

I think that was the last one, to be real.

That was the last one that they really found something that balanced the cartoony aspect of the characters with the violent, because it was a violent game.

Right.

And SNK has had that like they separate those usually outside of the the Dreamfest matches.

Yeah, do you think about a year ago, maybe more, maybe two years, SNK did confirm we are working on a non-fighting game Samurai Shodown project, which a lot of people think was going to be action RPG, Samurai Shodown RPG 2, whatever you want to call it, but then a new art of fighting project.

Yeah.

Oh, yes! Yeah, this is the first game to do that.

See, I always thought it was Samurai Shodown, but that's not until later, so...

Was that was the hundred mega shock because the game was like a hundred megabytes or whatever on the cartridge?

Yeah, that was like a big.

And finally, for video games to be released, there were two that I recognized.

Samurai Showdown for the arcade, great fighting game.

And Super Mario All-Stars, a remake of the NES Mario games, released on the Super Nintendo.

Yay, Birdo.

So I've had Last Blade on that for quite a while, and I enjoy that.

Probably more than, I would say at the moment, Samurai Showdown.

And I've yet to play Last Blade 2 and Samurai Showdown 3 or 4 yet.

I've played 1 and 2.

I'm not sure which one is the best.

I still don't know.

Remember for 32 months, FYI, live-action Samurai Shodown is in the works.

Samurai showdown, the, the Neo geo game that I played relentlessly.

I love samurai showdown.

It's not a problem with 3D fighters because I love me some Tekken.

And it's not a problem with weapon-based fighters because I love me some Sam Cho.

But just like with Space Jam, you can't put those two things together and expect the product to click for me.

I had a friend who had Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, and it's the only game I ever played on the Dreamcast.

Fatal Fury was my jam back in the day, but I got the Genesis version, so I never got to see the Neo Geo goodness, really.

Samurai Shodown, a lot of...

I feel like I always forget that SNK made it because it was just the Neo Geo.

You know, like, it wasn't...

And again, with the sound, all the pah, very, like, hollowed out sound effects and all the punchy, like... [smacks lips] Oh, dude, just, just incredible.

You know? Obviously, like, Samurai Shodown is known for the scaling, right, when they're close or far away, but Art o- it started with Art of Fighting, so that's what I personally think of.

Yeah.

And the way they move is really fluid and cool, too.
