17!!Non-canon games
18* ''Samurai Shodown V Special'' - An [[CapcomSequelStagnation update]] of ''V'' with various changes, between them the replacement of Sankuro, Yumeji and Poppy for Amakusa, Zankuro and Mizuki.
19* ''Samurai Shodown VI'' - Stated to be a DreamMatchGame as opposed to a canon installment, occurring in [[AlternateTimeline a parallel world]] where all characters are alive, complete with [[AlternateSelf alternate versions of them]] [[MesACrowd coexisting]] in the same universe.
20* ''Samurai Shodown RPG'' - Set during the events of ''II'', but with [[RetCanon different versions of the same events]] as well [[OriginalGeneration new characters added]].
21* ''VisualNovel/NakoruruAnoHitoKaraNoOkurimono'' (''[[DubNameChange Nakoruru ADV]]'' outside Japan) - Set between the first two games. Although it works as a backstory for Nakoruru and her relative characters (Rimururu and Rera), it is unclear how much of this story is canon.
22* Platform/NeoGeoPocket games - Both games served as ports for existing games (''Samurai Shodown!'' for ''IV'' and ''Samurai Shodown! 2'' for ''64-2'').
23* Mobile games (i-note, Android, iPhone, etc.), Pachinko games and in general all other SpinOff titles.
24* All CrossoverCameo appearances of ''Samurai Shodown'' characters in other SNK ([[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom and]] [[VideoGame/CapcomVs other]] [[Anime/QueensBlade companies']]) CrisisCrossover games, especially ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'' (excepting the aforementioned ''XIV'', wherein Nakoruru's appearance is canon).
