Update: November 25, 2005 ŠNCS: Samurai, swordsmen, and other combatants gather together once again in Playmore's new Neo Geo port of Samurai Spirits Zero for the PS2. A total of 26 fighters are in attendance and familiar faces such as Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Basara, Charlotte, Genjuro, Nakoruru, Rimururu, Ukyo, and many more returning. Amakusa's missing, though. The eight new characters are Kaja, Kusare Gedou, Lera, Mina Majikina, Rasetsumaru, Un-Rei, Suija, and Yoshitora Tokugawa. New systems consist of the Sword Gauge and Concentration. The meditation meter will take a little getting used to but a well of spiritual power may be diverted from the rage meter and stored separately. Once enough meditation has been shored up, the fighter may be sent into Enlightenment Mode where the game moves in slow motion. New to the PS2 version are 2 mid-level bosses named Yumeji and Sankuro and a gallery mode which features artwork of the characters in the game. The character select stage has also changed a bit. Fans may visit Playmore's official site for the Neo Geo version of the game. The character moves are the same as listed on the site and there's a good bit of artwork and other information on there as well. Samurai Spirits Zero is also known as Samurai Spirits V.
