Samurai Spirits: Amakusa’s Revenge – JP Neo Geo CD Game & Box & Manual w/ Obi – VG+

Samurai Shodown: Amakusa’s Revenge is the Neo Geo CD release of Samurai Shodown IV, the acclaimed weapon-based fighter that marks one of the series’ most intense and aggressive entries. Returning to its darker tone after the experimental SS3, this installment delivers faster gameplay, more fluid animation, and a polished combat system emphasizing offense, aggressive rushdown, and powerful sword strikes.

Set between the events of Samurai Shodown II and III, the story follows the resurrection of Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, who seeks to unleash chaos once again. Warriors from around the world—both returning favorites and new challengers—converge to stop him, each with their own motivations, rivalries, and dramatic endings.

Signature features include:

• Suicide and Rage Explosion modes for high-risk, high-reward play

• Multi-hit slash combos and improved combo routing

• Finishing techniques that dramatically end battles

• Beautiful Edo-inspired backgrounds with SNK’s signature spritework

• Faster pace compared to SS3, with more responsive movement

The Neo Geo CD version is notable for its CD-quality arranged soundtrack, offering richer instrumentation and atmosphere than the cartridge editions. It retains arcade-perfect visuals and supports memory card saving for story progression.
