NG Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge (JP Samurai Spirits: Amakusa Kōrin)

After some backlash from the their entry, SNK returned to "Samurai Shodown" in 1996. The dark aesthetic is gone, everyone looks a lot more cartonish this time around. Charlotte, Tam Tam and Jubei Yagyu return along with everyone from "Samurai Shodown III", with every character able to choose between Slash and Burst mode. New to the roster are two ninjas: Kazuki Kazama - member of the Kazama ninja clan specializing in fire jutsu, he deserts to rescue his younger sister, Hazuki, from Amakusa's clutches. Sogetsu Kazama - older brother to Kazuki and Hazuki who uses water jutsu; unlike Kazuki, he stays with the clan and is ordered to assassinate his brother for leaving. Also new in the series is a suicide move (sepukku), that allows a player to sacrifice one round to begin the next with a full POW gauge. There are also now fatality moves that allow you to kill an opponent in the goriest way possible. Enjoy some American Ninja action! Yes, Galford is my favourite character, ok? VICTOLY!!!!
