[edit] Overview
Samurai Shodown 6 is the newest installment to the Samurai Shodown series after Samurai Shodown V. The game features new backgrounds with 2D and 3D elements, as well as a returning cast of all 24 characters from Samurai Shodown V. It also features a "spirit select" system, which allows players to choose between six different fighting styles based on all 6 previous installments of Samurai Shodown. Despite normal Samurai Shodown releases and distribution outside of Japan, the game has been released outside of the country on the Atomiswave system sponsored in the United States by Sega.
The game was released for the Playstation 2 in Japan on January 25th, 2006. The PS2 release added even more playable characters, and three more spirit select systems to go along with them. With the PS2 release, virtually every character to have ever appeared in the Neo Geo games (excluding 'Samurai Shodown 64' and 'Warrior's Rage' series characters), including the referee, Kuruko, and the animal characters, are all playable, also of note, the courier man Hikyaku (unlock alongside Kuroko and Amakusa), who is an exclusive unlockable and playable character in the Game Boy version of the first Samurai Shodown game is no where to be found in this edition of SS since SNK had no interest in bringing him back.
