SAMURAI SHODOWN II Coming to Wii Virtual
Console
Live by the Sword…Die by the Blade!
SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION announced today the
forthcoming release of SAMURAI SHODOWN II for Wii Virtual Console on August 4th
2008.
Regarded as one of SNK’s greatest games ever
produced, SAMURAI SHODOWN II successfully integrated a brand new, dynamic
fighting system that was years ahead of its time. The fighting system introduced
players to several new offensive and defensive maneuvers including the ability
to roll both forwards and backwards, ducking to avoid high attacks, hopping to
avoid low attacks and the implementation of a ‘parry’ system that would allow
players to deflect incoming attacks at the last second if performed
successfully. In addition to the newly revised fighting system, SAMURAI SHODOWN
II also features 16 unique playable characters, hidden bosses, a two player
versus mode and of course all of the wonderful translations fans have grown to
love.
SAMURAI SHODOWN II will be available for Wii
Virtual Console for only 900 Wii Points and has been rated “T” for Teen by the
ESRB.
SNK PLAYMORE USA also plans to release SAMURAI
SHODOWN ANTHOLOGY for Wii in Q4 of 2008 for $29.99. The collection will consist
of 6 SAMURAI SHODOWN games: SAMURAI SHODOWN, SAMURAI SHODOWN II, SAMURAI SHODOWN
III, SAMURAI SHODOWN IV, SAMURAI SHODOWN V, and SAMURAI SHODOWN VI.
