Check out Mikado Arcade’s “Samurai War 2017”, a Samurai Shodown tournament series

This past week has been a special time for Mikado Arcade. 侍大戦2017, or “Samurai War 2017”, is a sprawling Samurai Shodown event that tackles every game in the series. If you’ve been wanting to see high level Samurai Shodown gameplay but unsure where to start, well, why not try sampling them all? No entry in the series is overlooked- everything from the 1993 series debut, to the 2008’s 3D fighter, Samurai Shodown Sen.

In addition to seeing just how the series changed (and in some ways, didn’t) over the years, it’s also a great way to introduce yourself to parts of the franchise you were unaware of. I personally think I might pick up a copy of Sen after this, as the string-and-juggle-heavy gameplay is certainly a change of pace.
