Samurai Shodown (Wii)

Samurai Shodown by SNK for Wii Virtual Console is the first entry in the extremely popular and revolutionary fighting-game series. Choose from 12 swordsmen with highly individualistic characteristics and fight furiously, ultimately confronting the evil Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. Each character wields his or her own specific weapon, but you must be careful not to lose it during the heat of battle. Some fighters also bring an animal companion into the fray. Another feature is the anger gauge, which indicates the level of anger felt by each of the combatants as they suffer repeated injuries. If the anger reaches maximum, the attacking ability of the character increases, leading to even more intense confrontations. The refined camera system smoothly zooms in and out of the playing field, presenting the frenzy of the battle while showcasing the background.
