Here's another Neo Geo classic! This is Samurai Shodown II from SNK. It was first released in 1994 and it's the sequel to the original Samurai Shodown that came out the previous year.
Like the original Samurai Shodown and the games that followed this sequel, it is set in feudal-era Japan. As you can obviously see from the screenshot, it is a fighting game. However, you have to fight your opponents with bladed weapons like swords.
The fact that you have have to fight with weapons is the thing that made the Samurai Shodown series really stand out from other fighting games at the time.
You can get the game from the Virtual Console section of the Wii Shop Channel for 900 points. It is also available on Xbox Live Arcade for the slightly cheaper price of 800 points.
