Must have collection for any Samurai Shodown fan. The games play great and the gallery mode is really nice. Hopefully we'll get a collection like this for Metal Slug and/or KOF.

So far, so good. Everything seems to play well. This is a collection of 7 Samurai Shodown games. It's a wee bit pricey, imo, and I always find SNK's pricing logic strange, as it's honestly all over the place in a seemingly random way. However, their games are often on sale - so there's that.
