SNK announced that the fighting came community can now pre-purchase Samurai Shodown for the Nintendo Switch. You can actually get a nice 10% discount if you pre-order ahead of the game's February 25 release date. In addition to the discount, you will also get the Neo Geo Pocket version of the original Samurai Shodown 2 for free.

Those of you wishing to pick up a physical copy can do so. You, too, will also get a special bonus by way of a controller skin featuring Haohmaru and Yashamaru.

This Switch release will be the first time the series is available on a Nintendo console in over 10 years. The game does feature local competitive play thanks to Joy-Con sharing. You can also take the fight online for up to 10 players in a tournament style system.

Samurai Shodown will set you back $49.99 (USD).
