While the series has lost momentum over time, in part due to not keeping up with increasingly advanced hardware, few would dispute it still sits - especially in its first two entries - at the table of hallowed 2D fighters like Street Fighter, The King of Fighters and Guilty Gear. A bona fide fighting game legend, the game in its heyday was renowned for intense swordplay and large, beautifully-animated 2D sprites. In 1993, SNK released Samurai Shodown, a pioneering weapons-based 2D fighting game set in 18th-century Japan, featuring iconic characters like Haohmaru the wandering ronin, Galford the ninja from California and Nakoruru the Ainu falconer.
