Already released in Japan as Samurai Spirits Sen, the latest 3D installment of the classic series was supposed to hit North America sometime last November, last we had heard, as Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny (http://kotaku.com/tag/samuraishodownedgeofdestiny/). November has come and gone with nary a peep from U.S. publisher Ignition Entertainment (http://kotaku.com/tag/ignitionentertainment/). With North American fans reporting canceled preorders from GameStop, let's hope Rising Star Games does a better job of delivering the title to PAL regions.
Check out the latest screens for the game below, as we wonder if this game will ever make it to North America, and if it's even worth the wait.
