<p>SNK has confirmed that its <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/samurai_shodown">Samurai Shodown</a></strong> reboot will be coming to Nintendo Switch in Q4 2019, slightly after the release of the PS4 and Xbox One versions.</p>
<p>Powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, the title is set in-between the events of the original <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/neogeo/samurai_shodown">Samurai Shodown</a></strong> and its <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/neogeo/samurai_shodown_v">fifth mainline entry</a>. 16 fighters will make the cut, with 13 of those being returning characters and three being brand new. More fighters are expected to be added via DLC.</p>
<p>The game will be at PAX East 2019, which runs at the end of this month. SNK will be hosting a panel at the event entitled ‘Samurai Shodown: Resurrecting a Legend’, which will feature producer Yasuyuki Oda, director Nobuyuki Kuroki, and original Samurai Shodown director Yasushi Adachi.</p>
<p>Here’s some PR:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>About</strong></p>
<p>After more than a decade, Samurai Shodown is back! SNK is rebooting one of its most successful series, carrying on the legacy of past titles with a new game that retains the same thrilling battles of past titles in a graphically advanced package. Samurai Shodown’s gameplay is driven by the tense atmosphere of being one strike away from death, and the exhilaration of defeating an opponent with overwhelming power and attacks. Taking place between the events of the original game and Samurai Shodown V, the new game carries on the legacy of the one true weapon-based fighter.<br /><strong><br />Key Features</strong></p>

<blockquote>
<p>+ Exhilarating Weapons-Based Combat – Samurai Shodown carries on the legacy of the tense battles the series is known for, where players are always one strike away from death, and one powerful attack away from victory.<br />+ Evolving the Presentation – Using the power of Unreal Engine 4, SNK is able to modernize the unique atmosphere and setting of past titles in a gorgeously artistic package that achieves a detail and graphical quality like never before.<br />+ Unique Cast of Returning and New Warriors – Samurai Shodown welcomes back iconic characters from past iterations, including the swordsman Haohmaru, his rivals Ukyo and Genjuro, the shrine maiden Nakoruru, and fan-favorite Galford. The starting roster will include a total of 16 characters—13 veterans and three newcomers to the franchise.<br />+ All New Gameplay – Carrying on some of the key fighting mechanics that made the series popular, such as the Rage Gauge, Rage Explosion, Sword Clash and more, Samurai Shodown will also include several new techniques, including a powerful, one-time use attack from each character called the Super Special Move.<br />+ Revolutionary New AI System – Titled Dojo Mode, SNK has developed a proprietary AI system that learns from player patterns and creates a specific Ghost clone from that data. With this system, players can fight against their own Ghost or take on the Ghosts of top players in mock battles</p>
