Originally released for the Atomiswave arcade system, Samurai Shodown VI is a "dream match" installment featuring all fighters from the main series and the ability to choose between a variety of different gameplay styles.
Overview
Samurai Shodown VI (known in Japan as Samurai Spirits: Tenkaichi Kenkakuden, loosely translated to "Samurai Spirits: The World's Greatest Swordsmen") is a 2D historical-fantasy weapon-based fighting game developed by SNK Playmore and released by SNK Playmore (Sega (Company) in North America) for arcades (running Dreamcast (Platform)-based Atomiswave (Concept) hardware) on September 14, 2005. The seventh main installment of the Samurai Shodown! (Franchise) series, Samurai Shodown VI is a "dream match" game that brings together all the combatants from the main series into one game. Along with new characters (including American soldier Andrew (Character) and Japanese maid Iroha (Character)), and a five-button control scheme (with three Slash buttons, a Kick button, and a Dodge buton), this game introduces a "Spirit Select" system, where players can choose from one of six fighting styles, five of which are based on the previous games. It was later ported to the PlayStation 2 (Platform) in Japan only on January 26, 2006, adding a variety of new game modes, unlockable characters, and unlockable fighting styles. This version was later digitally re-released for the PlayStation Network (Concept) on November 19, 2014 (in Japan) and November 22, 2016 (in North America as an import title).
