Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage

Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage, known as Samurai Spirits 2: Asura Zanmaden (SAMURAI SPIRITS 2 アスラ斬魔伝) in Japan, is a 3D fighting game produced by SNK for its Hyper Neo Geo 64 system. It is the follow-up to the original Samurai Shodown 64 on the same platform. Unlike its predecessor, it was not released outside of Japan, although if the game board is placed in a non-Japanese system the title Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage is used, which was also used in an early promotional flyer. A PlayStation game was released as part of the same series, and it used the Warriors Rage subtitle in America but dropped the 64 from the title. However, it is not the same as 64: Warriors Rage. Samurai Shodown! 2 on the Neo Geo Pocket Color is a 2D adaptation of this game, and a sequel to Samurai Shodown! on the Neo Geo Pocket which was a monochrome adaptation of Samurai Shodown IV. It was also ported to the Nintendo Switch on August 7th, 2020.
