@TVS_Official 64 Yep, it's a bootleg as SNK themselves pulled out of any NES work after 1990 to work on Neo Geo games. Most games during the Neo Geo days were licensed to other companies even though allegedly they did help out on certain versions such as Street Smart and Art of Fighting on the Mega Drive.

Besides Samurai Shodown was just a bit too late in terms of the NES for the likes of Takara to license, I think the only game that could have legally made it would have been Fatal Fury, maybe Fatal Fury 2/Art of Fighting at an absolute push and even then couldn't do the latter justice due to "BIG SPRITES".

Now, I'm no Samurai Spirits expert, but I'm pretty sure we're looking at a bootleg here.
