The wait finally over for Samurai Showdown 2 XBLA?



The Xbox.com page finally showed up for Samurai Showdown II for Live Arcade and this is likely going be out on Wednesday. No price point is revealed yet (400 or 800 MS Points) as that will be announced tomorrow with the game. All I have to say is finally another SNK game on XBLA (Their last XBLA game was Metal Slug 3 earlier in the year, which I enjoyed for the week it came out). With this and King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match coming out next year for XBLA, fighting game fans will be happy (arcade version footage above). Fatal Fury Special, SNK's first fighting game for the service, was okay, but SamSho 2 has been regarded as the best in the series so maybe it will be better (online play is in like FF Special). Then again, its another reason my arcade stick will get some usage again, so yay on that. If this is out on Wednesday, expect a review before Rock Band 2 Sunday (Castle Crashers review is cancelled for me).

UPDATE - SamSho II is officially out Wednesday for 400 MS Pts (Yay!!!) - At least something to do before RB2 (Review on Friday likely).
