X360 Samurai Spirits Sen - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis Update: December 10, 2009 «©NCSX» In our opinion, some games work well in 2D while others are perfectly realized in 3D. The Samurai Spirits series of games belong in the former category while an adventure such as Metal Gear Solid 4 is only possible in a 3D world. Despite Samurai Spirits' perfectly unbroken 2D formula, SNK has nevertheless launched four 3D renditions of the game already. Four of them. The most recent 3D interpretation was released last year in Japanese arcades on Taito Type X hardware. Titled Samurai Spirits Sen, the game features Haohmaru with hair that is rooster-like in all its glory and a cast of 26 fighters that includes new characters such as Takechiyo, Angelica, and Gallows who join familiar faces such as Nakoruru, Galford, and Charlotte. The fighters bout on beautifully rendered battlefields that swivel around the combatants as they slash, sidle, and jump. The action runs fast and fluid although it can skew towards the generic.      Early preorders will ship with a bonus "Bastard Sword" toy that's being given away by the publisher in 50% ratio. The toy is a a miniature recreation of the weapon that a blonde warrior named Suzuhime uses in the game. She's the butcher seen on the center of the game cover wearing a billowing red dress that's hiked behind her like a peacock train.
