Description

This is the bugfix 1.1 (likely final) version of the English translation for Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushido Retsuden, better known outside of Japan as "Samurai Shodown RPG," with its new localized title of "Samurai Shodown: Tales of the Bushido." Full changelog can be found in the readme.

Featuring:

  • 100% complete translation to English

  • Bug fixes from the original Japanese, like some character portraits not being displayed

  • A healthy amount of original art, including a new font & title screen by combustocrat

Quality of Life improvements, which can be toggled via soft DIPs, but are enabled by default in US/EU mode, or disabled for JP mode.

  • Choose between the Neo*Geo CD or the PS1/Saturn version of the elements system

  • Improved potency of permanent stat boost items

  • Adjustable encounter rate

  • Adjustable damage scaling (see manual)

  • Selectable alternate palettes. Hold D while pressing A when confirming any character selection until you hear a chime!

Be sure to check out the translated manual, as it as it details several important gameplay aspects not covered during gameplay.

I have been waiting to play this game since I was a child. I remember seeing it in a game magazine in 1997. And this week, after almost 30 years, I could finish the game. Thank you for this project. My congratulations to all the staff. The game is very fun!!! The translation is flawless!
