Samurai Shodown’s next character is the Warden from Ubisoft’s For Honor, giving us one of the wildest fighting game crossovers in recent memory. Players will be able to see how chivalry stacks up against bushido when Warden drops tomorrow.

With Gals’ Fighters out and Samurai Shodown! 2 coming soon, the next NeoGeo Pocket Color game coming to Nintendo Switch this summer will be King of Fighters R-2, AKA one of the best games on the system. Bookmark the NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection website for news on more portable SNK games coming to the Switch.

Huh, SNK just released Gals’ Fighter on Switch. Neo Geo Pocket Color’s cool clicky stick let it host some strangely good fighters, and this was the cutest. Nice to see NGPC games reappearing, and $7.99 is a lot easier to swallow than the $450 a U.S. copy of Gals’ Fighter recently fetched.

The SNK World Championship in Japan has been postponed indefinitely over coronavirus concerns. This event, which would have capped off months of Samurai Shodown and King of Fighters XIV competition, was originally scheduled for late March. The CDC recently placed Japan on ’Alert’ in response to the disease’s spread.
