Overview
Samurai Shodown V Perfect (or, as titled in Japanese, Samurai Spirits Zero Special: Kanzen-han) was a title that was being developed as a final upgrade to Samurai Shodown V and Samurai Shodown V Special. It was to be the final game to be released on Neo Geo hardware before all work on subsequent SNK titles moved to Atomiswave. The game fixed some bugs and balance issues, and presented a new story for its Arcade Mode. However, despite some localization tests, the game never formally released to the public.
As a final title on the Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection released in 2020, a fully playable version of the game (with English translation for relevant locales), was announced and included, for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. In August of 2021, it was confirmed for release the following year for arcades using the exA-Arcadia platform.
