Samurai Shodown III

About this game

The Game Boy version of Samurai Showdown III lacks Kyoshiro Senryo and Gaira Caffeine, but adds Jubei Yagyu back to the roster as a hidden final boss exclusively for the said version. There are also exclusive features that come from using the Super Game Boy.

Samurai Shodown III was to be the start of a bold new direction for the franchise. The most obvious difference between this game and the others in the series is the notably darker aesthetic. The more light-hearted characters (Earthquake, Cham Cham, and Gen-an to name a few) from the previous games have been excised, and even the kabuki master, Kyoshiro Senryo, received a redesign, transforming him from a flamboyant stage performer into a grim-faced, muscular man. All of the characters have been completely redrawn. The animation is very smooth for all characters, another departure from the graphical style of the second game.
