Samurai Shodown Sen hitting March 30th photo

It's been five years since America got a new Samurai Shodown game (not counting the anthology), but the wait is almost over. Samurai Shodown Sen has finally made its way over to the States from Japan, and will be releasing on March 30th for Xbox 360.

I don't know much about SNK games (mostly because I am much worse at them than I am at Street Fighter), so I asked CronosBlade and Hitorogoshi, the biggest SNK fanboys I know, what they thought of the game. While the official PR says we're supposed to be excited about "impressive 3D visuals" and a "huge roster of returning fighters", Cronos and Hito were excited about other things.

Cronos: "Gutting cute anime girls!"
Hito: "I get to murder the Ruru sisters? Count me in. I can't wait to stick my sword in them."

Perverts.

What was the one from five years ago? I remember about five years ago telling my friend that I read about a new Showdown game and he sort of brushed it off saying that it was actually just a re-release.

Was he wrong? If so, was it GREAT!?

Is this still 360-only? Even though I have a 360, I'm not interested in getting any more fighters for 360. PS3 or no-go, SNK.

you forgot to say what system it will be on....
I'm guessing ps3/xbox?

Clarification plz!

Also will it be like the shitty 3D KOF game or play more like SF4 (no side stepping)?

Does anyone know if this is anything like the 3D Samurai Shodown that was released in the arcades around 13 - 15 years ago?
I've always wanted to play that SS as the combo system looked fun. Managed to get hold of a 3D SS for Playstation 1 but it wasn't the same thing at all.

I can't believe this is the same company that made KOF maximum impact2 (which was great fun!). The trailers and gameplay videos of this game looks a bit off. I will probably buy the thing but I have a feeling I'll be disappointed

I really hope this comes out of PS3 as well because I cannot for the life of me preform decently in any fighting game with that third joystick the xbox controller uses for it's dpad.

I've heard less than steller things about this one, but as an eternal Samurai Shodown fanboy I'll fight anybody to the death about that fact.

360 only, people. 5 seconds of research would tell you that.
