ss2logoHey fighting game fans, here's some cool news. SNK's classic '90s fighter Samurai Shodown 2 is making its way to iOS and Android, and best of all it's coming this month. The original Samurai Shodown first popped up during the mid-90s when fighting game fever was in full effect, and was especially noteworthy for bringing weapons into the fighting game fold. This second entry in the series is regarded as a fan-favorite out of the many iterations that have been released since. Check out the trailer here.

As you can see towards the end, Samurai Shodown 2 will support the MOGA Bluetooth controller for Android devices, and given Apple's recent hint towards official 3rd-party controller support, that may be in the cards for iOS gamers down the line too. No online is kind of a bummer, but at the very least I'll be stoked to carry around one of my favorite fighters in my pocket, so add Samurai Shodown 2 to your TouchArcade [Free] app Watch List to get an alert when it hits the App Store sometime this month, and check out our forums for some discussion.

    "no more frustration!" aka "these controls will be crap!"

      Hah! You don't have to be a marketing major to know it's not a great idea to criticize your own product in the trailer.

      Anyway, looks like a fantastic port, and I'll definitely download it at launch. I have fond memories of playing SSII at the neighborhood video store as a kid.

  • Tim Cant

    6 buttons! Covering the entire screen!

    • Protoman

      Technically it only had 4 buttons.

    Deberían poner modo Wi-fi en este tipo de juegos para traer de vuelta la época dorada de los arcades y que no sólo quede en un mal remake como es el caso de SFXTK, soulcalibur o Marvel vs Capcom 2 este último ni siquiera actualizado para dispositivos de última generación.

    I truly do hope this works with Xperia Play. Touch screens are TERRIBLE for fighting games.

  • Dams

    Hope they support ipad. This seems unplayable with all the screens filled with buttons

    What's going to be the price??New Zealand App Store list's it at a whopping 12.99$.
