| history | The Last Blade 2 (c) 1998 SNK. Much-acclaimed swordplay fighter with 16 selectable characters and one end boss. Another SNK triumph! - TECHNICAL - SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware Game ID : 0243 Main CPU : 68000 (@ 12 Mhz) Sound CPU : Z80 (@ 4 Mhz) Sound Chips : YM2610 (@ 8 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 320 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 59.19 Hz Palette colors : 4096 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 4 => [A] Weak slash, [B] Strong slash, [C] Kick, [D] Repel - TRIVIA - Released in November 1998. This game is known in Japan as "Bakumatsu Roman Dai Ni Maku - Gekka no Kenshi : Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana" (translates from Japanese as 'Bakumatsu Romance Episode II - Swordsman in the Moonlight : The Flower That Blossoms In The Moon, The Flower That Turns To Dust'). Kojiroh Sanada is a homage to an ancient Chinese legend about a girl disguising herself as her father (the same story was also used in the Disney movie Mulan). Lee Rekka is a homage to the Cantonese hero, Wong Fei Hung. Akari and Juzoh are the comedic relief characters in the Gekka series : If Akari is fighting someone other than Juzoh, Juzoh can be seen next to the elephant. If Akari is fighting Juzoh, Akari's three friends (Hijiri Nanase, Aoi Yahata and Shizuka Kujou) can be seen next to the elephant. If Juzoh is fighting someone other than Akari, Akari can be seen with her friends. Pony Canyon released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Bakumatsu Roman The Second Act Gekka no Kenshi - Flowers Blooming on the Moon, Flowers Scattering on the Wind - PCCB-00350) on 18/12/1998. - UPDATES - In the original (Japanese) version of Last Blade 2, each of the 3 modes is described by one kanji : Chikara (red), Waza (blue) and Kiwame (green). Chikara means 'strength', Waza 'skill' and Kiwame 'extreme'. These 3 modes were made into 'Power', 'Speed' and 'EX', respectively, for their English release. However, one case where the modes were literally translated remain. If you look at the English 'How To Play' intro in Last Blade 2, you will see 'Strength and Skill' where they should have said 'Power and Speed'. A slight mistake in the English renaming, or a tribute to the Japanese and therefore correct, names. - TIPS AND TRICKS - * Play As Kaede From Last Blade : Highlight Kaede at the character selection screen, then press C(x9), B, C(x4).
