For those looking forward to the Xbox 360-exclusive 3D fighter, Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny, there’s bad news, good news, and, well, more bad news.  First off, the bad; Ignition will no longer be publishing the game.  The good: XSEED has taken over publishing duties for the SNK-developed fighter, and will release it under the name Samurai Shodown Sen.

The switch-over is part of an odd series of trades between XSEED and Ignition.  In April of 2009, Ignition announced that it would be publishing Muramasa: The Demon Blade, originally to be published by XSEED.  In October, the same happened with Arc Rise Fantasia.  It looks like Samurai Shodown was the “trade bait” for those two titles, though another trade-off in the future isn’t out of the question.  Oh yeah, the other bad news; all indications are that the game is underwhelming to say the least.

Depending on which Japanese translation site you believe, “Sen” translates to either “hermit,” “thousand,” “wire,” “gland,” “boastfully,” or “flash.”  I hope that, in this case, it means “flash” because “Samurai Shodown Gland” just sounds ridiculous.
