Samurai Shodown / Spirits (Game Boy) Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translation

Samurai Shodown / Spirits (Game Boy) (6.30.94)

Reprogrammed with the Game Boy in mind, sprites are redrawn for easier visibility on the Game Boy screen, the more ambient style musical tracks were replaced, and there's plenty of charming original artwork. Despite being one of the weakest platforms the game was ported to, Earthquake manages to make it in.

Now, the real battle is on!

12 Samurai, Ninjas, Knights and Warriors unravel the battle in a wild dance! All the secret techniques, ninja arts and special moves are here to use. Crush the rulers corrupting the world!!

The climatic gameplay systems such as rage, locking swords and sword grasping made it here unchanged, along with the addition of an original presentation on the Gameboy. Heat things up even more with link up battles.
