I wouldn't be surprised if these are still done by their intended release dates and now SNK are sitting on them to give the Stadia version some time.
Still shown for December according to the Japanese release schedule on Nintendo's site (SAMURAI SPIRITS), so this could just be for the western release as stated above.
I mean, probablty, but Nintendo and Steam aren't going to give them a sack of money so honestly i kind of have to respect the hussle.
Hope it doesn't take too long. Having that neogeo Samsho collection in the mean time wouldn't hurt either.
fucking snk just LET ME BUY THE NEO GEO POCKET GAMES
Fighting games, especially for PS4, X1 and Switch, should be out day 1, to both maximize on unit sales and smooth monetization through their live service in their first year from their active playerbase.
A separate release timeframe spoils them both.
They could at least throw in that season pass with the Switch SKU.

Good point. Not a stack of money, but certainly free advertising. Maybe not for SamSho though cause Terry ain't in it.
They already said multiple times they don't have enough people to work on multiple versions of the game at the same time so this isn't happening.
Well, their previous PC and Switch ports were farmed out to Abstraction Games (KOFXIV, SNK Heroines) to mixed results. Hopefully they've taken it inhouse, SamSho Switch already looks like a big step up from Heroines.
Completely different situation. Sakurai adores many of the SNK titles that served as the inspiration for much of Super Smash Bros. and they were largely brought in to Smash due to his love of their titles. Terry is supposed to represent SNK as a whole company and not just the super specific circumstances that probably had Stadia really pushing money on to SNK to get a version of Samurai Showdown going. Hell, Terry was probably decided and officially licensed well before Samurai Showdown on Switch was even decided upon anyway.
Let me preorder this right and get that NGPC version of Samurai Shodown 2 on my Switch ASAP. I loved the NGPC and carried that with me my last years of high school instead of my GameBoy that's how much I loved it.
Is really a delay? because we had no date (not even window) for the western version.. but I recall Nintendo reinforcing the japanese version with a December 2019 date
EDIT: Yep, it wasn't too long they posted this; December 12th release date for Japan

Looks like Nintendo delisted the video. I hope it's not because the NGPC bonus isn't coming to America.
Just a heads up; the delay was indeed only in western territories. The Japanese version of the game will be released December 12th; so anyone willing to buy from the JPN eShop, there's no much of a wait for that!
Any news if this game also come with the neo geo pocket game?
The delay is most likely due to a great rollback implementation that SNK has been testing for some time now and they're still working out quirks with cross-platform play, so they're just polishing the game to be sure it is everything a fan wants.
I'm sure that's the real reason anyways.

I think that was announced while ago for the Japanese version as well
My wallet was not ready! Too many games to buy for switch so I'm kinda glad it's not out in December.
I wish eShop cards for Japan were easy to get without a markup. These days I feel like I'm paying too much extra.
