This is a fighting game released in 1995 as a sequel to the previous
year's release of Samurai Shodown II. Though this is the third
installment in the series, the story takes place between the first and
second installments. Players can choose from 12 samurai seeking to
defeat Zankuro Minazuki. Along with minor upgrades from the last
version, such as the ability to press buttons to fill your rage gauge
and the ability to defend in midair, you can also select from slash and
bust personality types for each character. Each type has its own set of
special moves you can take advantage of, effectively doubling the amount
of characters you can play.
This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. See more Virtual Console games for Wii.
