The Playstation port was also released on the same day, while the Dreamcast version was released on December 1st, 1999. The original game was scheduled to be released on late 1998 for Nintendo 64 and early 1999 for PC, but both versions were delayed to August 31, 1999.The 2021 rerelease fixes these by restoring the two Liveside areas they were originally planned to appear in. Orphaned Reference: The pre-fight cutscenes with Pike and Cruz both allude to the locations their encounters were meant to take place in before being cut, with Pike's rambling about you trespassing on his "property" standing out as somewhat odd, considering he's occupying a prison cellblock in the finished version.Keep Circulating the Tapes: Upon the release of the remaster, Nightdive Studios delisted the original from GOG.com along with stopping purchases of the original game on Steam, which means those interested in playing the original version who didn't grab the original on Steam may have to look for secondhand copies.
The PC version is now available on Steam as of November 2013, and a full Remastered version by Nightdive Studios released in April 2021.One has to wonder if Shooter forgot that it was Acclaim who gave him his chance with these characters again with Unity 2000, after the Valiant shareholders booted him out of his company.Shooter started Valiant Entertainment, bought back the rights to the old Valiant properties and rebooted them his way, and in the process the Acclaim versions of the characters have been all but buried. Executive Meddling: Post-release, one can sum up why this game and the other Valiant-based Acclaim games haven't been released on the download networks, despite years of promise that they would be- Jim Shooter.However it's worth noting that Akuji was exclusive to the PS1, and Shadow Man's PS1 port is regarded as the worst version of the game, so at the very least Akuji provided PS1 gamers with a good alternative.
Shadow Man is by far the most well known thanks to being ported to multiple platforms, still having a modern means of availability (unlike Akuji), and receiving a sequel.
