D+PAD Magazine: Samurai Showdown: Sen Preview

The original Samurai Showdown (which was released over 16 years ago) was always something of a source of envy for this particular writer. While many of us were enjoying perfectly serviceable versions of Street Fighter II at home on our SNESs and Megadrives, Samurai Showdown and its host platform (the insanely expensive NeoGeo) were always beyond reach; the game was a strange fruit from a far off and exotic land that we would never be able to possess. Obviously, things have changed greatly since that time, with the golden era of arcade gaming long over and with the current crop of consoles more than capable of delivering near photorealistic visuals.
