The game was digitally re-released for the Wii (via Wii Virtual Console) on Septemand was included in the Samurai Shodown Anthology compilation for the PlayStation 2 and Wii. The game received a port to the Neo Geo CD on December 29, 1995, Saturn on Novem(for Japan only), and PlayStation on Novem(ported by Ukiyotei as Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood, later re-released in Japan only for the PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in June 27, 2007). The gameplay style was also nearly overhauled, adding a variety of new mechanics (such as air-blocking, an alternate moveset for each combatant, and optional difficulty levels), while revamping the control scheme (switching the Light Kick button for a Strong Slash) and removing/replacing some older mechanics (such as the removal of weapon breaking and the simplification of movement techniques into a simple Dodge technique). The story takes place between both of the previous games, focusing on a powerful sociopath known as Zankuro.

Samurai Shodown III (known in Japan as Samurai Spirits: Zankuro Musouken, which is loosely translated to "Samurai Spirits: Peerless Blade of Zankuro", and in Korea as Fighters Swords) is a 2D historical-fantasy weapon-based fighting game developed and released by SNK for arcades (running Neo Geo MVS hardware) and the Neo Geo AES on December 1, 1995.
