Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This Game Rocks! Buy this physical.
Great graphics, gameplay, music, and sound effects. And...it is a lot of fun to play! Graphics take a minor dip in handheld mode, but not performance. It was to be expected and I’m okay with it because I get to enjoy this awesome SNK fighter on the go. Also, a very pleasant surprise was getting some Samurai Shodown joycon overlays inside the game case. Sweet!

Decent Switch port with exclusive bonus
If you are a fan of the Samurai Shodown/Spirits series, the Switch version is a really decent port of the newest Samurai Shodown game. There are a lot of reviews and analyses that mention the occasional drop in frame rate, but as a casual player, I didn't really notice any slow downs that affect gameplay. Probably the 3 more prominent issues of this Switch version are: 1) Long load times for each fight (but no load time between the rounds though), 2) Low resolution on handheld mode, and 3) Lack of players playing online. However, playing docked, the visuals are very good for a Switch game. Controls are decent too. I found it much easier to pull of combos with analog stick than I anticipated. An added bonus that comes with this physical Switch copy is a code for the Switch port of SAMURAI SHODOWN! 2 (from Neo Geo Pocket Color). As of now, the game is not available for purchase in the US eShop, so this is probably the easiest way to get a copy.

Excellent game!
I'm a fan of the series and this port is pretty good. This is also a great starting point to get into the series as its a bit more accessible than say SamSho 2, 4 or 5. Obvious visual downgrade to get it running on the switch and some slight frame rate drops in handheld mode but overall excellent experience in both docked and handheld mode. Also, came with a copy of SamSho! 2 NeoGeo Pocket Edition and a skin for joy cons which was a nice treat.
