This year marks the 30th anniversary of SNK's legendary NEOGEO video game console.
Today, May 27, 2020, seven classic titles will be available for free on Twitch Prime, and the 30th anniversary year is really starting to heat up.
The long-awaited details of the "SAMURAI SHODOWN Neo-Geo Collection" have finally been announced!
The official site and trailer have been released!
Includes 7 titles, including some never-before-released titles!
The "SAMURAI SHODOWN Neo-Geo Collection" (hereafter referred to as the "Samurai Shodown Neo-Geo Collection") will include 6 titles from the SAMURAI SHODOWN series that have been released on the NEOGEO.

In addition to the six titles above, there are also some other titles that have not been released yet.
SAMURAI SHODOWN ZERO SPECIAL Complete Edition
The complete version of SAMURAI SHODOWN ZERO SPECIAL will also be included in the collection!
"SAMURAI SHODOWN ZERO SPECIAL COMPLETE EDITION" is the final title of the true NEOGEO, adding a new story and ending that were not included in "SAMURAI SHODOWN ZERO SPECIAL"!
It's great to be able to experience a new Zero Sam in the year 2020... I'm glad I'm a fan...!
In addition to the ability to choose between the arcade (MVS) Japanese version and the overseas version for all included titles, SamColle also includes a save function, credit free, and a display function that recreates the atmosphere of a CRT TV for those fans who are selfish enough to think that modern monitors are too beautiful and different in some way. This is a title that will fulfill the wishes of all NEOGEO fans!
Online Battle and Museum!
SamColle is more than just a collection of Samuspi titles!
All titles are equipped with the online battle function, a must-have feature in today's gaming world.
You can play "Ranked Match" against players of the same rank, "Casual Match" to enjoy casual matches and "Friend Match" to invite registered players such as your friends and colleagues to play against each other. You can play against rivals from all over the world!
In addition, a museum where you can enjoy illustrations, songs, and setting materials of the past generations is also included!
Not only will you be able to view over 2,000 valuable documents, but you'll also find special video content, including video interviews with development staff!
You may even be able to hear some of the secret behind-the-scenes stories that can only be told now.
The music collection also includes more than 200 classic songs from the six titles in the series! And you can always enjoy them on your sound player!
