It seems Xbox Live Arcade is becoming a repository for old fighting games, as SNK’s Samurai Shodown II was announced, along with a Wii (presumably Virtual Console) version as well.
As with most SNK games of the mid-90’s, SS2 features some of the worst localization dialogue imagineable. While not on the level of Zero Wing’s “All your base are belong to us”, it still was howlingly funny, with such jewels as:
- “What a nice person! You kindly give the palm to such a crock!”
- “All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That’s the law of samurai.”
- “Give you my knock for justice!”
Do you give a knock for this Neo*Geo fighter? Let us know.
(Thanks, 1Up.)
