Victoly!: Samurai Shodown 2 Incoming

More news out of Tokyo. This time, it's SNK Playmore announcing their upcoming lineup. Plenty for fans to be excited about but of particular interest is their upcoming XBLA offering: Samurai Shodown 2. (Or is it Samurai Shodown II?)

Oh, yeah, and some other stupid title called Metal Slug 3.

The Metal Slug 3 news is so last month, so let us concern ourselves with Samurai Shodown 2. SS2 is considered by some to be one of the greatest games of all time but how will the XBLA version fare against history and nostalgia?

Here's what inquiring minds want to know:

Will this game be a direct arcade port? It's SNK, so it better be.

But more importantly, will the game still be filled with engrish? If so, I declare "Victoly"!

I'm all over this as long as they put in an option to kill the rumble. Fatal Fury Special ended up not getting purchased because of that little oversight.

Fatal Fury's rumble is

Fatal Fury's rumble is really, really awful, isn't it? I love well implemented rumble, but FFS's heavy handed attempt is the worst I've ever experienced.

However, it's easy enough to turn off, just hit your guide button, select personal settings, then vibration, and uncheck the box. Just remember to turn it back on before you play any games that do use rumble properly.
