Some thoughts about Samurai Shodown in traditional Japanese Haiku:
3D Sam Sho
Seven Syllables go here
Why was this made?

So, whose bright idea was it to take one of the pioneer franchises of 2D weapon-based fighting games and turn it into a shitty take on Soul Calibur?

I think it's pretty bad. I think it looks bad too. The character portraits are really good though. I wish the game looked like that.
SNK is releasing a lot of games,but they aren't rocking '09 by a long shot. 
They are screwing up all over the place and as far as I am concerned,they haven't been on their games for years now.
The 3D KOF failed where Capcom did succeed with IV.The XBLA classics are all botched in one form or another.
KOF XII=botched.
Remember SNK vs Capcom? T_T
They screwed up so many things in the last few years that their reputation is permanently damaged imo.
Best thing that could happen to SNKPlaymore is Capcom buying them and phase out the rotten management.
To undo the damage,a Capcom vs SNK 3 would be perfect! I think the vast majority of western gamers started giving a crap about the SNK characters in Cap vs SNK 1 & 2.

I need to add this. I don't know what SNK's desgin philosophy was with this game. It just screams half ass. Just ape Soul Calibur all the way, or ape SF4 all the way. Not this in between lame shell of gameplay they have right now.
This just all pains me, because I love the Shodown series and characters. Such a waste.

I wouldn't say that SNK have been awful lately. Sure, Neowave, Maximum Impact, Samurai Shodown 5, SNK vs Capcom and the like weren't too interesting. But then you have KoFXI, Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum and SS Tenkaichi Kenkakuden which were all quite good. I was hoping that Edge of Destiny and KoFXII would keep up the recent trend but apparently not...

While I totally appreciate what SNK is trying to do with their move into the realm of 3d, I'm still a little miffed that they haven't stayed true to their word about the port of KOF: MI Regulation A to the xbox360.

I'm going to buy it. I need to support SNK. They somehow became the starving african child of the industry. So, SNK, consider my purchase a donation.

And what I don't get is why they're localizing it in the first place. I got Samurai Showdown Anthology and the localization work for VI is...wanting (we're talking late 80's translation quality here). They seem to think no one gives a shit about SamSho in the states, so it seems odd that they're going through the trouble of localizing a critically-panned 3D game in the series.

Mainly the gratituous violence, actually. The SamSho games always had "fatalities" but they were mostly just logical extensions of what happens when someone swings a blade vertically through you, and a sprite splitting in two and blinking away is far from the detailed animations in this one. Since I'm slightly crazy I'm thinking about getting this just to try out the new characters (who indeed look really cool - but so did the new characters in the previous 3D games), but unless there's an option to turn off kills, I'll pass.
