- TRIVIA -


Released in October 1996.


This game is known in Japan as "Samurai Spirits - Amakusa Kourin" (translates from Japanese as 'Samurai Spirits - Amakusa's Descent').


- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* Beat the entire game in the time limit to see a picture of Wan-Fu or Sieger after the end credits. Who appears is entirely at random though.


* In order to see a special win pose with the puppies, win with a double

perfect using Slash Galford. Galford will say, 'Arigato!' as the puppies

scamper across the screen.


* I'm Not Afraid Of You! : think you are really good? Tap START 3 times quickly to make your character drop his/her sword. Now show your opponents that the most fearsome weapons are the ones you were born with! Note : a few characters are really hampered by the loss of weapon (e.g. Haohmaru, Kazuki, Sogetsu) and a few are not really affected (Nakoruru, Rimururu, Hanzo).


* Sepukku (Suicide) : press Back, then move your joystick a quarter circle from forwards to down and press START to make your character kill himself/herself and lose the current round (Useless trick? Not quite since you will start the next round with a full rage gauge!).


* Silly Name Trick : now this is weird! At the naming screen input 'AAA' as your name to make your character faint!
