Posted by SignOfZeta on December 26, 2019 at 03:34:53 EST in reply to So the Switch version of Samurai Shodown has a limited edition that features the NGPC Samurai Shodown! 2 as a seperate release. Complete in box and all. from Rockman Pocket.
It says €119.00 on my end, which is like $135, more even than one of those newer Super Robot Wars games where they use all the real music. I couldn’t be less interested in whatever the game is they are selling because if it were 2D I would have heard by now but I have to say the packaging is the sort of thing that works on dummies really well. It pays homage! Look, a nod to times past. Another nod. My word, these guys are headed to a subdural hematoma with all that head banging. Oh look, see? They paid tribute! Tribute has been paid! Right between those nods and all that homage. Man, if only the soundtrack was on vinyl then it would be max Retro and even more oversized.
It’s a box big enough to fit a Neo game, but it won’t weigh as much unless they purposefully cram it with as much paper and clear plastic as possible which I think we can assume they will. Also, unless there is a code or I’m missing something there is no Neo Geo game here, not even in an emulator. The Pocket game coming in a Pocket case would have made loads more sense, or even putting everything in a Pocket case (sans 135 page book) would be even cooler but they didn’t do that. Why? Because the Pocket flopped? Then why is a Pocket game being used as bait? Why not a Switch version of any Samurai Showdown for Neo?*
*Because they don’t want to hear about how people play the bonus game more than the thing they just spent $15M on and the best way to assure that would be to only give them one of the worst Samurai games.
