    Free season pass is a pretty good incentive to pick this up at launch. Not that I wasn't already planning to, but...

        This is my most anticipated game of 2019. I need to see how much of a badass Tachibana Ukyo is.
        Kept you waiting, huh?

          There’s a demo in the Japanese PSN. Seems pretty basic in reality. The graphics are nice though.

            I mean, isn't that right? Samurai Shodown was always quite basic on the surface. The Last Blade was the technical fighter. Though admittedly I only really played SS 1 and 2.

              In theory yes, but this just feels like a shiny version of SS2. None of the flashy stuff from SS4 seems to be included. Rage explosion doesn’t offer a continuous slash option. It’s just a fatal slash, which is quite basic, and very easy to read. There are also no multi slashes after a CD. There are some counter options, but you don’t seem to be able to side step around someone either, it’s just a KOF ‘94 style dodge into the background.

                  Completely slipped my mind that this is out this week! The "free" season pass is feeling like less of a deal now I notice most places are trying to sell it for £50...

                    Gonna pick it up if it reviews well; was going to get it on launch but decided to go for Blood & Truth instead.

                      Its still a little pricey but The Game Collection has it atm for £39.95:

                          And if you are old school neo geo fan , it’s worth every penny of £50 , I paid £300 for the original back in the day .

                          its a truly beautiful update to a classic franchise , I love it to bits already .

                            So this turned up today and I have been playing most of the afternoon. Really enjoying it so far, as others have said it has an old school SS2 vibe about it and plays really well. More details to come after I spent some more time with it.

                                I was looking for that edition. Where did you get it from? That ZenMarket place?
