Athlon Games and engineer SNK reported today that Samurai Shodown for the Nintendo Switch has been postponed from its recently arranged Q4 2019 discharge window to Q1 2020 in North America.
The Switch variant of Samurai Shodown incorporates the Samurai Shodown! 2 as a pre-request reward. It is the principal port of the game since the first discharge on Neo Geo Pocket in 1999. It has been affirmed that it will bolster both tabletop and handheld modes.

LEGACY: The same tense, high-damage single strike battles that the series is known for!
EVOLUTION: New, cinematic art style and updated fight mechanics bring each battle to life in a variety of online and offline modes.
REVOLUTION: Take on the top players in the world through a revolutionary AI system that learns player patterns and creates “Ghost” clones for you to take on in head-to-head battles.
