Notice the text was censored as back then an industrywide censorship system didn't exist, hence Tam Tam's stage being named "Green Vale" instead of "Green Hell" (in Japanese the H can be turned into a B with the two quote-like nigori marks).
I've always been a Nintendo fan, but the Genesis version was far superior. It had red blood, not orange, and the fatalities were still in the game as well.
@MrWraith1977 Let me share you a fact about both versions.
The SNES version was developed by Monolith Co. Ltd. for Takara and SNK, while the Sega Genesis version was developed by Saurus Co. Ltd, one of SNK's development divisions.
I find that the SNES version has a way better soundtrack than the Neo version. Just compare Tam Tam's awesome theme to the Neo-Geo version and you'll see what I mean. I have both versions, and I like both equally in their own ways.
When the TAKARA logo appears, press A, Y, X, B on controller one or controller two. You will hear Amakusa's voice. Select 1P vs 2P or Count Down. When the character select screen appears, hold L and R and Amakusa will appear. Press any button to select him.
The Genesis version seems more of a loyal conversion and authentic experience, seems like they went pretty cheap on this one for the SNES. Why are the characters so damn small???
Neo-Geo is far superior, of course! This poor port for SNES have missing sound and speech, it´s much slower, fight zoom in/out is missing, caracter sprites are much smaller, missing animations and frames,
no objects to broke etc. I can not play it on SNES, after I tested it on Neo, sorry.
Samurai Shodown 2 was origionally released for the Neo-Geo in 1994. It is available on Samurai Shodown Anthology for the PS2 and Nintendo Wii. It is very difficult to find in stores, so eBay would be the best place to find it.
This game is very enjoyable. It contains all the characters, stages and most of the speech. The music isn't as good as the arcade version, but porting a 118 megabit arcade game to a 16-bit console isn't very easy. My only complaint with this version is that the game play is slower than the arcade. An option to increase the speed would have been a nice touch.
@Dman761 if you play all the conversions of this game you will soon see that the game is just a likeness conversion, back then as long as a port could boast it has all the characters ect ect, the strength of the console did the rest. ie:- one would say SF2T is better on the snes, so SSF2T has to be better than the MD version... Wrong! every one knows sega got the better job on the Super. people just assume when they have not tested it for them selfs. Snes built a lot of rep with SF.

not to mention genesis had larger sprites and the framerate was a lot faster and smoother, snes got a horrible port unfortunately.

This has been flagged as spam show
retro1gamer, when you have a serious clue about what you are talking about, then you can say something, that game gets a 14/40 IMO,
graphics: 4/10, tiny sprites, poor use of snes palette. poor animation.
Sound: 3/10, have you heard the neo version, or even the MD version for that matter. this has bad sound by snes standard.
Game play 4/10. this is poor. the small sprites change the felling of the game totally.
Fun factor, 3/10, its just not fun at all, a poor mans SS conversion.
