[edit] Canon
Is Samurai Shodown 6 canon..? It looks nelligible, as Ukyo is alive, as well as Goah. It seems more like an compulation game than an continuation of the storyline. -ZeroTalk 20:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mobile Games?
There appears to be two Samurai Spirits games in Japan released by SNK Playmore for iMode mobile phones... http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/i-mode/king-apri.php
The first is サムライスピリッツ－魔界輪廻記－ (Samurai Spirits -Makai Rinne Ki-, which means something like "Chronicle of Hell's Endless Cycle of Rebirth"). It appears to be a top-down adventure game, similair to Legend of Zelda. It seems to have been released in late 2005. Looks like it has a storyline. Some screenshots can be found here: http://watch.impress.co.jp/game%2Fdocs/20050704/snk.htm and http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/ez-brew/brew-apri.php.
The second is 侍魂～四面楚歌～ (Samurai Spirits ~Shimensoka~, which means something like "Surrounded by Enemies on All Sides"), which appears to be a sidescrolling action game, with Haohmaru and Nakororu playable. It appears to have stages with various generic enemies (it shows generic shinobi enemies), with bosses at the end of each. You can gain experience and level up. There is also a final boss of some sort. Judging from the text bubbles, it also has a storyline. It uses the same Japanese logo that the HNG64 games used. Screens at http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/mobile/i-mode/special/shimensoka.php and http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20051121/soka.htm.
No idea if they really bear mentioning. There's also those dating sims and stuff, which I don't think are technically part of the series, but these two seem to be. WtW-Suzaku 09:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
