After a slight delay in the last quarter of 2019, Nintendo has revealed that the Samurai Shodown Switch version will be released in the West on February 25, 2020.

Samurai Shodown on Nintendo Switch
A few months ago we could see the first trailer and gameplay of the Nintendo Switch version of Samurai Shodown. From that moment it was confirmed that the title will run at 60 FPS and that it can be played in TV mode, table top and portable mode; all of them with the option of using only one Joy-Con per player in local multiplayer mode. On the official website of the game it is noted that the limit of players is set at 10.
The delay mentioned was due to the fact that the adaptation required more development time than they initially thought to achieve the desired performance objectives. A performance that promises to maintain those 60 FPS (thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 engine) and that will be compressed in 9.4 GB of game size (so we will need this free space in our console or SD card in order to accommodate the SNK title.
Regarding news of the main game, we remember that the last fighter who joined Samurai Shodown as a DLC was Wan-Fu, in addition to Kazuki Kazama the previous month. As you can see, the title remains very active today even though it was released on June 25 on PS4 and Xbox One (platforms on which it is available). As for the PC version, it also had a launch window for the fourth quarter of 2019, but has not yet received an official release date.
