Samurai Shodown DescriptionThis is a two-player combat game much like Capcom's long-running fighting series, but some characters have weapons and some pets. This game is responsible for making the "RAGE" gauge (or "POW" gauge) in fighting games popular. It has an exceptional artistic style and balance.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationUsually just a header or in some cases a set of stickers with moves.Game PlayThe object of the games is to beat the stuffing out of your friends or the computer opponent. Along the way you are treated to scenes that tell a small but interesting story. If you are able to win (beat all computer players) then you are treated to a different ending for each character.MiscellaneousLICENSOR: Neo-GeoVAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 137 known instances of Samurai Shodown owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 6 of them are original dedicated machines, 4 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 127 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - There is one VAPS member currently looking for Samurai Shodown. For Sale - There are 2 VAPS members with Samurai Shodown machines for sale. There is one VAPS member with an extra Samurai Shodown circuit board for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalAs this is a neogeo based game, it will not work in a standard JAMMA cabinet. You will need to wire a 4th button for each player. This is a very simply addition to a SF2 style cabinet.TriviaThe game is called Samurai Spirits in Japan. Some of the characters in this game are based on real-life historical figures such as Miyamoto Musashi (Haohmaru), Amakusa Shirou Tokisada and Hanzo Hattori.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Samurai Shodown Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by SNK.
