It's been a while since we last heard anything about the planned Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S upgrade for 2019 Xbox One fighter Samurai Shodown, but now it's officially been announced as arriving on March 16th.
The headline feature for this version is the introduction of 120 frames per-second gameplay, which appears to be coming to both consoles according to the trailer, although a press release only highlighted it for Xbox Series X.
Samurai Shodown's next-gen upgrade will be completely free for existing owners of the game on Xbox One, and a new physical edition of the game will also be hitting shelves across various parts of the world this March.
Looking forward to this? Let us know if you'll be playing this one in the comments below.

Nice! And free too. Still a bit salty about the full price upgrade fpor Devil May Cry 5. A bit of good will goes a long way.
Disappointing its not on the S too by the looks of it(although it may be they are using Series X as a catch all for the next gen)
Edit - the trailer list 120fps on X|S
@elpardo1984 You're right, thanks!
@FraserG I’m confused is it just the XSX or the XSS too.
@mousieone The game is coming to both, and according to the trailer, it's getting 120FPS for both as well.
The press release I received said this though:
"On March 16th, 2021, the latest installment in the series will be released on Xbox Series X|S. On Xbox Series X, the game will run at a smooth 120 FPS."
This is great news! The first 120fps fighter (on console, at least). Hopefully it's not just a frame-doubling cop-out
This is the way ...
@FraserG thank you =]
Excellent! I feel like the Series S could be a great console for the fighting game community. Small, no drive, and capable of high frame rates. It would be really nice to see the FGC return to Xbox.
@Zochmenos completely agree! Losing Street Fighter V was a heavy blow. Really want to hope VI makes it, and GG Strive, and KoF XV...and so on
@mousieone No problem!
@Poskito I'm probably going to scoop the Samsho passes in hopes of moving the KOF needle ever so slightly. A man can't live on DBZ alone.
@Royalblues I didn't know. Send a link my way if you can.
Edit: Mighta' found it.
@Royalblues No worries, I'm confident I got it. (Ryu silhouette with green bandana).
