TOKYO, JAPAN – August 25, 2021 – exA-Arcadia, the leading manufacturer of location-based entertainment video games headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is proud to join forces with arcade legend SNK Corporation to bring the long-lost SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT to arcades

SAMURAI SHODOWN is a series of weapon-based fighting games which began on the record breaking arcade system, the NEOGEO MVS, in 1993. Its unique cast of characters and distinctly Japanese world-view saw it gain a global fan base which remains strong to this day. SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT, a ‘director’s cut’ of V SPECIAL and the 10^th game in the series, was due an arcade release that never happened and thus came to be known as the ‘fabled final Neo Geo release’ will be back where it belongs: officially in arcades everywhere from 2022!

SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT represents the ultimate culmination of the original 2D fighting series: 28 playable characters including every boss from previous installments, Overkill techniques, and other new game system and balance changes added between SAMURAI SHODOWN V and V SPECIAL.
