Virtual Console gets cut in a Samurai Shodown

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Retro, Nintendo Wii, Fighting

The latest update to the Wii's Virtual Console gives those of you with Wii arcade sticks on your shelf a sense of purpose, as well as an excuse to dust them off for a bit of classic arcade fighting, Neo Geo-style.

• Samurai Shodown (Neo Geo, 1-2 players, 900 Wii Points): Once all the rage in arcade parlors when first released in 1993, this first in the still-ongoing fighting game series lets players duke it out using 12 different weapon (and sometimes animal)-wielding fighters. While a bit archaic by today's standards, the game still beats the pants off many contemporary fighters. Plus where else can you see a kabuki performer throw down against a green hunchback doing his best Freddy Krueger impression?

Why would I buy this when there is a much more robust compilation disc coming out soon?

You wouldn't.

Other people who only want this $9 game and not a $30 compilation would.

Also, Gamers want Games Now. As this title is out on the VC now, while the Compilation will be relased in the FUTURE at a LATER date.

I would definitly download it now, If it didn't already happen.
