[sword clink noise]

Thanks to XSEED, who secured the North American publishing rights,  SNK's 3D fighter Samurai Shodown Sen is coming to your Xbox 360 this year.  The latest, the 11th game in the series, which some of you will know as Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny , is now in its final production stages.

When it hits store shelves this spring, you can expect both leaderboards and online play on Xbox Live. Below the jump you'll find some new screenshots as well as the box art.

What do you think, fighting game nerds?

I loved the original 2d SS, but I'll have to play a demo or something of this one to see how it handles before I jump in.

Samurai Showdown Sen is an abomination. I felt like I totally wasted the 100 Yen I put into the arcade machine.

I'm in the vast minority here, but my favorite character to play as from the old series was Earthquake. He was this humongous fat guy who, the story goes, went through the same ninja training as Galford, but dropped out of class halfway through and traveled out into the desert to start his own group of bandits. He was borish, ugly, obsessed with food and money, and I absolutely loved playing him. The sight of this huge, half-trained "ninja" wielding a small scythe attached to a chain and wearing a bright red tattered vest is etched into my memory.

And as a result of this, I am absolutely heartbroken to find that he has been left out of this new version.

I have never liked the 3d iterations of SS. The last SS I enjoyed was SS4 and that was like, what? Over 10 years ago?

I'd rather have a port of SS4 than that crap I see in the screenshots.

I heard it was really bad.

Being a SNK fanboy though I will still get it.

As much as I love the series, I have no interest in this iteration. If I want to play SamSho, I load up my Wii SamSho Anthology in either U.S. or Japanese flavor.

I saw Samurai Showdown and got really excited! Then I realized it was Samurai Showdown Sen, and I cried a little.

The game is mind-numbing terrible. Played at E3 and promised to never touch it again. If you're looking for a good Samurai Showdown game, or hell, a good fighting game at all, stay away from this pile of dog crap. There's a good reason no one's been wanting to publish it.

people still remember this?

i'm not so crazy for this honestly. It's been very under the table..even more under than KoFXII. Plus I like SS in 2d sprites.

3D KoF didn't work. 3D Samurai Showdown doesn't work. Unless you're Capcom, please stop taking 2D classics and turning them 3D. There's still a generation of 2D fighting game fans, please don't abandon them, they made you who you are!

Samurai Shodown (Showdown, honestly) was my favorite fighting game on the SNK Arcade Classics. I just hope that I'll like this as much, but the above comments don't make me feel comfortable...
