For reasons unknown, SNK gave this game an extremely similar English title to that of its predecessor, Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage. This generated considerable confusion, and led many to the assumption that it was a port of the second Hyper Neo Geo 64 game. It was also released in relatively limited numbers outside of Japan, as the gaming market was gearing up for the release of the PlayStation 2. This meant that few people had actually seen either game, and so the title was the only thing they had to go on. Even a cursory comparison between the two reveals that they are two very different entities. To help eliminate confusion, Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage is now frequently referred to in English-speaking circles as "Warriors Rage 2", or "SSWR2" for short.

The game also spawned a two-volume manga adaption illustrated by Takashi Kujira. It also has a drama CD that predates the start of the game. Short novelization of the game was published for The Playstation magazine in late 1999 through early 2000.
