graphics are subpar at best and the screens just plain out look boring. They could've done a better job there.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 10:25 AM
Am I supposed to be excited?Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 10:46 AM
As 2D fighters go, i've always had a soft spot for the Showdown, this looks pretty pants though.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 12:02 PM
wow.....these graphics are atrocious.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 12:32 PM
this is prolly just a renter.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 12:34 PM
Looks good to me..but then again I hae always loved all of the samurai showdown games sooo who knows how this one will turn out!Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 01:24 PM
Ive had this preordered for a while. Getting it just to support SNK, I really have no hope this game will be any good. The gameplay footage you can find on youtube looks bland as hell.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 01:42 PM
doesn't look as good as past incarnations.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 02:00 PM
This article says Samurai Shodown Sen is out mid-April yet another article on this site claims it's out this week. I'd like to know when I can give this game a try. I need to keep occupied with fighting games before Super Street Fighter IV ships. :DMonday, March 29, 2010 @ 02:35 PM
Dibs, game on... possible junker than sleeper but I'll homer the shit out of this bad boyMonday, March 29, 2010 @ 03:43 PM
Yeah it's awful. Don't waste money on this stinker. Go buy Samurai Shodown Collection on PS2 instead.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 06:06 PM
@15 The game is out this week. The EB Games website has it shipping already. Think I'll pass on it though. Doesn't look too impressive.Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 06:07 PM
Out this week in the US at least...Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 07:39 PM
@13 Considering your blah feelings for this game, I have no desire for this game for anything more then $20. In fact, if one of the people that rave about Onechanbara thinks THIS looks bad? That says something.Saturday, April 24, 2010 @ 06:40 PM
I saw this today at Gamestop and haven't heard anything about it. But the copies at the store were all for Pre-Orders? Is it offically out or not? Granted I will not pay 50 for it and looks like you can 100% it in like 3 days anyways...

Four new Samurai Shodown Sen screens have stepped out of the dojo ahead of the game's Xbox 360-exclusive release on April 16th.
Drawing upon a 16-year heritage that harks back to the days of the overpriced Neo Geo, Samurai Shodown Sen is the retro weapons-based fighter revamped in shiny 3D.
Sen is set during the turbulent Edo period in Japanese history and follows a European girl named Suzu who is rescued off the coast of Japan and raised as Princess Suzu by the Amori Clan. A decade later she rescues martial arts master Takechiyo from a shipwreck, who then in turn must save the princess when she disappears mysteriously.
This obviously involves beating the snot out of all-comers, and as such, there'll be a host of old favourites amongst the game's roster of 20 fighters, including Haohmaru, Galford, Hanzo Hattori, Nakoruru and Ukyo Tachibana.
Support for scraps over Xbox Live is also supported, so you'll be able to slice up rivals with a razor-sharp katana blade online.
Check out the four new screens here.
