Good thing there are so many 2D fans. I thought I was one of very few getting more and more retro. games nowadays are pretty boring compared to the stuff that was published till 2003
u know i have to argeed with u there, around time from maybe 03 or 05 when i started to get bored with this games fro m now, sure god of war was fun and all, but after while i got bored with 3d games really eazy, started to go out collection old school games or systems, like nes snes genesis, and now recently dreamcast games, ya what u said is sooo tru...
hey any ever played rival schools or power stone those games were awsome i was playin power stone 1 and 2 yester day for dreamcast and rival schools on ps1 at my cousin house
i wonder if samurai shodown 5 have fatalities i see blood bu i havent killed no 1 yet and part 6 is great do any 1like the survival mode on part 6 i like it but it feels different any survival modes i played over all its great
Samurai Shodown 5 does not have fatalities. Now SS5 Special is different. It has fatalities galore! Unfortunately, it's not part of this collection. Unless you have the original game for Neo Geo or some download online, it won't be available for the USA. It was officially one of the last games for Neo Geo so SNK did not want to release it for other systems.
i got this game and it's one of the greatest 2d fighting game collections i ever played. My favorite ones are 4 and 6 but i had thoughts about breaking this game cause haohmaru whooped me about 20 times straight in amakusa's castle in part 4 and the game was on normal. He knew exactly what 2 do against my every move and while I do enjoy a challenge he was really pissing me off!! I felt like kicking my tv in the stomach
i played samurai shodown since 96 in the arcades. now... i wonder what i should do with my SS: blades of blood for the psx, its pretty much useless, collection-wise. i still play SS: warriors rage 2 so im keeping that. :D. its' US release for people wondering. ebgames isnt going to see my copy ever again.LOL
yeah its not a big deal. there's only few graphical tweaks, 4 leader change, and arts that was in it. the anthology has more. just expected it i guess since thats what the commercial or the japanese trailers showed. later
the reason it didnt came in collection cuz, v special was last neo geo games, it only came out in arcade in japan, and it was last neo geo games to come to system, soo they wantedf it to be only for neo, since it was last game for system, so u wont be see it at all, that sucks but o well
i know im late but i finally got the game and me and my friends were playin it rera and ukyo kicks ass in this game most people say ss2 is the most favorite but my favorite is ss6 ss5 ss4 they are the best to me overall this game is awsome
The whole SSA compilation is good but my favorite is SS4. I feel at the end of a match with a friend, there should be body halving, blood bursts or some kind of fatality.
guys i know im late with this but i finally got it and it is wonderful me and my friends were playin it and yoshitora and rera kicks ass in this game most people say ss2 is the best but my favorites are ss6 and ss5 ss4 this game is awsome
I finally got the PS2 version of SSA 3 days ago. I am thrilled to say this game is awesome. This will keep me busy for a long time and I haven't stop playing it. On the PS2 version you can also play as "Kuroko" (which is my top 3 favorite). He is pretty much powerful character with a large range of projectiles and the flag strikes are super quick and deadly. You can play as Poppy and Pak Pak the little monkey. Anyways, it's one great package and no regrets that I invested in such a classic!
i finally ordered mine this time im waiting for it say wait if we only had to order it do you guys think it might of came out eralier than we thought?
I don't think the sellers thought it would be a hit. Now it's backordered and all the fans have to wait for it. I actually ordered online through a company and they told me it was on backorder. They gave my money back so I ordered through another company. Got it 5 days later.
I'm posting this for people who want to know if the game is censored. Just played roughly 2 hours of Samurai Shodown 1 and 2. From what I read in posts online (for SS2), it seems easier to show blood burst deaths and body halving in VS Mode. Well all I have to say is.... VICTOLY! It's random so the computer decides what will happen on the finishing move. I was only able to get the blood burst on SS1. If this game was censored at least SS2 seems ok. The game is still awesome regardless. :)
i think i have 2 order mine online cuz i dont see it but the gamestop clerk was nice enough to tell me oh the wii and the ps2 wont be in stores only online you must get it i was like well atleast he told me
does any body here know how to slice them in half, i havent done it yet in 1st ss game, i only got them bleed to dead, but havent slice them in half, like so of videos i have seen on y.tube.. if so leave comment back to me aight peace
@swl9380 I'm still waiting for my copy. Can't wait! From what I read online, some of the moves are disabled. I read you can cut someone in half on the SNK Classics game for PS2 but no blood fountain death move. From what you posted it looks like the blood fountain move is available on the PS2 Anthology. I don't think you can get both. If not, I guess I'll have to get SNK Classics too. I'll have to try both out to confirm it.
swl9380 , i just read on a site that it does happen but randomly when doing a finishing move. the site mentioned to try in VS Mode for SS1 and SS2 because it happens more there than in Single Player. please test that out and post if it's true. i can't try it out until i get the game. thanx!
Bought it from amazon,my copy is also on the way...i cant wait!!! how can i say no to a game that i grew up with...my highschool years!!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED THIS GAME LIKE CRACK!!!!!!!! FUCK SOUL CALIBUR, THIS IS THE SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!! JUST THE SOUNDTRACK ITS WORTH 20 BUCKS.....THIS IS SOME GOOD 15.00 DOLLAR SPENT RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!
well its ok, im not goin bitch or cry over it, thats ok, all it matters that game plays really well, and its like in arcade one, so im happy camper, sure would of be nice ot have blood in 6 but its not END OF WORLD FOLKS, I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS ON Y.TUBE, THAT GAME LOOKS TIGHT,
Im glad u got tha game homie! i told u it was smooth. everybody sayin part 6 has no blood or fatalities....PPL COME ON LIKE MY BOY SAID ITS NOT D END OF THA WORLD!!! B HAPPY THE FUCKIN GAME IZ OUT! now wit dat bein said glad i got my copy 2 and it does play well who kno's maybe they will release SS5 special on its own game what u think?
hopefully if they make a new samurai shodown it can be hand drwan graphics. thats how i think 2d graphics should look. wario land shake it did it now kof doin it
The only shitty thing about the game is the Intro sequence. They could have made a better intro to it, and you can tell they didnt take much creativeness to make the Intro sequence really good. Anyway overall its a well rounded game. There is no SSV special on this game, sorry to say
i live in united arab emirates, and i have USA version samurai shodown anthology ps2, in my home in abu dhabi where i live and brought from USa amazon, and new and sealed.
i went to toys r us in new york today they get SSA in april 7th but the gamestop near my town says they will get it tuesday. hopefully its the wii version if not then ill get it for ps2
I have the PSP version that came out recently and as what others have said, NO SSVI Special. The older versions I've played on this game was great and brought memories back in the days when everyone gathered together to compete in the arcades. I've already ordered the SSA for PS2 (got it on eBay) it actually is going to be delivered from Canada. My only opinion for SSVI for PSP is that it was okay and I guess it's going to take awhile to get adjusted to the timing and the execution to play it.
I'm getting straight to tha point, THERE IS NO SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL!!!!!! So six(6) games instead of seven. I-IV are awesome, but V and VI are downers, due to missing gameplay elements, and NO FATALITIES OR BLOOD, which helped make tha series as great as it is. Overall, I'm estatic about having the series to play on my PS3, but other than that, I'm a little hurt!!!
In a way i agree wit u part V is cool but... where are the fatalities? where is the hidden version of yumeji??? and on part VI how the hell do we unlock Goahs other version??? i want 2 play as dat dude so bad!
this is SNK for you they always delay their games and what kills me is that they are only fighting games not big title hits that takes time to release
I just got my Samurai Shodown copy today. It only took the next day to arrive with FREE FAST DELIVERY through UPS. The game is so good so far, but I am having a bad feeling about SS6. It is my first time playing SS6 for the first time but the sprites and background doesn't seem to fit quite well or maybe the sprites don't look right to me for some reason. I really don't know so far but i will post a video if I have the time. Thank you.
it happens the same thing as SNK arcade classic vol .1 , the two games is Magician Lord and World Heroes. it doesn't save the high score. that's fucked up.
I received a notice from Amazon that my game just got shipped today (3-26-09) and possibly arrive tomorrow. i know a store that is getting them on friday and you can only get them if you are on their waiting list. Actual release date was 3-24, but they have been pushing the date back due to high preorders. they didn't expect a lot of people to preoder, so they are trying hard to match that number.
It pisses me off too that they keep holding the game back week after week which is crap. What's really funny is the fact that IGN's date is 3/24 or 3/something and gamespot has always been "TBA" for the PS2 version. I can't wait to try SS6!
Unfortunately no but it's a great game! mines justed arrived. it has samurai showdown 6 in it's own game,a vs mode a arcade mode and a practice mode. color edit save load sound setting and game option. they really did make it a classic game it has blood except for SS6 but it's definetly worth getting! ^_^
that's kind of shitty after they said SS5 special would be included in the U.S. version. I wanted to play that game but once again snk got on some lazy shit and left it out like mark of the wolves in fatal fury collection. I guess they just forgot but That really burns my ass in three different ways but ima still get it since it's such a great fighting game collection even without the sexy samurai shodown 5 special
it has galleries and music that is unlocked by it self when you startup the game. (you don't need to follow like beat the game, get the high score or something).
i finally got it on psp version, but the problem is.... it doesn't have samurai shodown 5 special. the worse part is the high score of all SS games will never going to saved. that's mess up. i am so angry that it won't save my high score.
What? No 5 Special? If that's the case, SNK Playmore should have given the game to another company for release in the US. Crave ( same company that released KOF Orochi Saga) which is in charge of the US release took too long. Ignition which was in charge of the PAL version didn't take too long. ignition should have been in charge of this one. Maybe they could have added 5 Special.
It's been in some reviews from IGN. Also, if you look on Amazon, pay attention to the description at the bottom. It lists all of them and mentions V Special.
ya that how they are, i think they dont really care to help u , all they care talkin bout dumb as shit or taklin bout newiest game like r.e 5 oooooo or what ever newest game it is, im not hatein on games now, but older games for me are better then now, i guess too much bout graphics not enough gameplayed thats y i get bored with most 3d games of this era
ya thats sooo tru, i notice that a few times on street alpha collection and sf avy collection, fuckin dorks retrards of this era, not sayin u guys are, but fuck dumb as at the stores
thats the same thing i was talkin about because they only talk about games that every1 else is talkin about see if it was gears of war or resident evil 5 then they would see it in there computers. but games like samurai shodown the have never heard of it. my mom tells me to call them before i go but i tell her they wont even kno what im talkin about.
i call today at my local gamestop they told me they only have psp and wi, i was like ooo hell no dont tell me they wont be ps2 one, but i saw on best buy web site have ps2 , states that comes out march 31, soo il have to wait til 31 then, its better be on ps2, il goin to be piss as hell, if i have to go get only psp, i rather play it on my big screen tv 42 inch, and my surround system ....
I don't really trust GameStop employees in general. The experience I had with them is that they are too busy having conversations with each other to do anything else. On top of that, if the game you're looking for is not mainstream, they don't seem too intersted in helping you. Back in February, I asked a manager when KOF 98 UM would come out. He told me nothing was in the system. He then went on to do something else. Excuse me but I wasn't done asking questions. I ended up leaving the store.
u know i notice that my self here, too if not fuckin halo game or something else, they wont give fuck bout u , or what gameu askin, whole time i ask for ssa, they was like yaaa, its not in system, how fuck its not in system its been sayin that shit for month and still not in ssystem thats fuck b.s
il hope its comes out on best buy at 31 fuck gamestop, they take control on video games stores im sick of them ass
when i do get samurai shodown anthology for the wii im goin to play 3 first then 5 special cuz those are the ones i didnt get to play. i hate my friend right now this fool downloaded the japanese version for psp thats how i played. he teases me a lot lol
i still like the 1st one for snes thats the one i 1st played. even if i played it now it will still b good cuz its cool but i do no what u mean. sum classix are like that. lol i guess u will soon realize the graphics when u get older.
U and me both....they prolly kno how much this game is gonna sell,the more we wait the anxious we are 2 play it! i think its gonna be worth the wait though...lets all hope its the 24.
hey every1 i think i know the reason they r holding it back i hear they r having graphic animation and sound problems with the usa version thats all they need to fix thats what i heard. if they r goin to make it glitch free im willing 2 wait
Crave is the company that's working on this. They worked on the US release of King of Fighters Orochi Saga which had glitches. That was released 4Q last year. I'm hoping there are no glitches in Samurai Shodown Anthology.
yea man i hope soo, i like kof o collection but if wasnt some fck up glitches il be happy with it, but i pray to god, this is as good like metal slug collection that was pretty good with out any glitches
Yea that game is collecting a lil bit of dust ....i was so upset at how many glitches and the fact u have 2 play team mode on every single 1! i mean come on no single player or vs mode??? i do hope they are setting Samurai Showdown Anthology glitch free.
Did you get KOF 98 Ultimate Match? That was done by Ignition which is glitch free. It includes the original KOF 98 and the new version. This company also released Samurai Shodown Anthology (PAL/European version). No V Special but at least it's glitch free. Wished they worked on the US version as well. Not too sure of Crave which is in charge of the US release :(
Not yet but i am prolly goin 2 buy it 2morrow so i can take my mind off of the Samurai showdown Anthology...=( so it's now the 24? man i sure hope it's worth the wait because the KOF orochi saga had me very upset. but im gonna wait and see if the 24 is the official release date is the KOF 98 Ultimate Match on point? im pretty sure it is but it'll be good 2 hear sum feedback about it.
Hopefully the date is right but I've been watching this and it keeps getting delayed. I'm getting KOF 98 UM soon too. If you go on Amazon, you can see reviews for it - all positive. Other reviews say skip KOF Orochi Saga and get KOF 98 UM since you'll just be playing 98 anyway.
Yea i own orochi saga and it's garbage...i was hoping it was a lot more fun but the glitches and playing team mode all the time made it kinda dull. i usually shop at amazon myself that's where i might buy the KOF 98 ultimate match. and yea i kno what u mean i been hearing all the time Samurai Showdown Anthology will be released on the date they say it will be released....but noooo now it's March 24 or maybe April 7. =(
i havent got kof 98 um, but im planing of getin it soon, but 1st i got to get my hands on ssa, 1st i been waitin for that game for years, for collection like that, most of my wishies have come tru, if they only make double dragaon collection but arcades version and nes game included
that would be tight as hell, but u know and i know that wont happen
I went to a different GameStop yesterday and actually found someone helpful. Was looking for KOF 98 UM and SSA. He said they were sold out of KOF 98 UM. Now here's the weird part. He says they don't carry new SSA for PS2 but will carry used ones. WTF? Will have to get new ones online then.
4 better il dont mind wait,, but it better be worth it, shit i been wait for this day, many many many maannnnnnnnnny years, to have complete collection is dream come tru
no truer words have ever been spoken I can't wait to play each game in it's original form. I had part 3 for the playstation and played it all night until I got blisters. The next morning my cousin sat on it and broke it. Life was never the same. After that i had to play the less attractive snes version of part 1 and it felt nasty
ya thats sucks man, sorry to hear that, but its was funny part u said bout snes, ya now lookin back it sucks, but i use to think it was the shit back then, booy i was wrong
i really hope so because king of fighters is a little bit of a dissapointment. for some reason i think they will do the same thing with just acade mode and no vs mode i really hope they dont do that but im a real samurai shodown fan.
i see you didnt get it. hey man dont worry its bound to come out some how i just hope the wii version come out at the same time the psp or the ps2 version cause im getting it for the wii
Hopefully, it will come out soon. Everywhere I look it shows March 24th or April 7th. I don't think anyone knows for sure. Heard that the publisher making the US version is the same one that did King of Fighters Orochi Saga. There were some glitches in that collection. Guessing they are fixing any glitches in this anthology before they release it.
please be specific they say 17/03/2009 tomorrow on the USA ebay site, and please please please will be samurai shodown 5 (special) i hope so because we have waited so long for it and i am very angry from USA SNK.
I look every day on websites to see when this will come out. Amazon and Walmart show 03/24/09. Bestbuy shows 03/31/09.Gamestop doesn't show a PS2 version coming out but shows PSP and Wii coming out 04/07/09. Target shows it will be available in 2-6 weeks. Ebay says 03/17/09. The point is no one knows right now. 5 Special? From what I've read, it's included at least in the US version. I've read it's not included in the European version. I'm with you man. I can't wait!
yo im very angry too! that the game didnt come out i mean they could release snk arcade classics and kof orochi saga, but they cant release ss anthology thats horse piss
the psp version will come out in march 10, but it switch to april 7 (it backed out on me and i hated it when they change release date). i order it 2 months ago. i am not worry (or i am worry), i can wait for for myself and 4 the world when it release this game on psp. "but the month will go fast".
how hard is it to make a collection of some old 2d fighting games and put them on a disc and send them out? It's not like they are creating these games from scratch so what's up with all these delays. Well at least kof 98 ultimate battle will hold me off until they decide to stop teasing us and drop this. Out of all the 2d fighting games snk have been bringing out i have been wanting the SS Anthology the most
the home ported versions were horrible, especially the snes- they never got neogeo games done right. i use to play it a bit with my homies in the donut shop. that place is still there, except for the arcade games
When will Samurai Shodown 64 come out in North America arrgh?

hey guys check out kof 12 that game looks fucki hott!
leothefox1 2 years ago
I got the game this past weekend and its awesome!
The only shitty thing about the game is the Intro sequence. They could have made a better intro to it, and you can tell they didnt take much creativeness to make the Intro sequence really good. Anyway overall its a well rounded game. There is no SSV special on this game, sorry to say
Peace!

Yes SSA is out NOW for the PS2 and PSP. It will be limited for the PS2 and only a few retailers will carry it.
Gamestop will not carry the PS2 version.
Gamecrazy will not carry the PS2 version.
Target will carry it but online only.
Walmart will carry it but online or pre-order online for in store pick up.
Best buy will carry it but online only.
Good luck finding one.

i went to toys r us in new york today they get SSA in april 7th but the gamestop near my town says they will get it tuesday. hopefully its the wii version if not then ill get it for ps2
leothefox1 2 years ago
I have the PSP version that came out recently and as what others have said, NO SSVI Special. The older versions I've played on this game was great and brought memories back in the days when everyone gathered together to compete in the arcades. I've already ordered the SSA for PS2 (got it on eBay) it actually is going to be delivered from Canada. My only opinion for SSVI for PSP is that it was okay and I guess it's going to take awhile to get adjusted to the timing and the execution to play it.
fsabado 2 years ago
I'm getting straight to tha point, THERE IS NO SAMURAI SHODOWN V SPECIAL!!!!!! So six(6) games instead of seven. I-IV are awesome, but V and VI are downers, due to missing gameplay elements, and NO FATALITIES OR BLOOD, which helped make tha series as great as it is. Overall, I'm estatic about having the series to play on my PS3, but other than that, I'm a little hurt!!!
sadiq2008 2 years ago
In a way i agree wit u part V is cool but... where are the fatalities? where is the hidden version of yumeji??? and on part VI how the hell do we unlock Goahs other version??? i want 2 play as dat dude so bad!

this is SNK for you they always delay their games and what kills me is that they are only fighting games not big title hits that takes time to release

thats odd, i dont understand y fightin games takesn soo long to come out, and too games over 10 years old, so u think should be eazy to master it ,,,
swl9380 2 years ago
I just got my Samurai Shodown copy today. It only took the next day to arrive with FREE FAST DELIVERY through UPS. The game is so good so far, but I am having a bad feeling about SS6. It is my first time playing SS6 for the first time but the sprites and background doesn't seem to fit quite well or maybe the sprites don't look right to me for some reason. I really don't know so far but i will post a video if I have the time. Thank you.

you kno i really hope they put samurai ss 5special cause from what im hearing it might not be in it
leothefox1 2 years ago
Yeah, a friend of mine got this on PSP and it does not have SSV Special. Although the PS2 version WILL have SSV Special in the US.
And I hope so... since I'll also have this in a few days.

it happens the same thing as SNK arcade classic vol .1 , the two games is Magician Lord and World Heroes. it doesn't save the high score. that's fucked up.

Yeah, I heard confirmation elsewhere PSP does not have SSV Special. Although I'm 95% sure it WILL still be on the PS2 version in the US.

man i havent palyed this game in ages
tristar1215 2 years ago
I received a notice from Amazon that my game just got shipped today (3-26-09) and possibly arrive tomorrow. i know a store that is getting them on friday and you can only get them if you are on their waiting list. Actual release date was 3-24, but they have been pushing the date back due to high preorders. they didn't expect a lot of people to preoder, so they are trying hard to match that number.
jc48573 2 years ago 2
hey if do get get game, can u do vidoe givein out review of it and stuff thats be nice, if u could do that
swl9380 2 years ago
It pisses me off too that they keep holding the game back week after week which is crap. What's really funny is the fact that IGN's date is 3/24 or 3/something and gamespot has always been "TBA" for the PS2 version. I can't wait to try SS6!
NAI917RAH 2 years ago 2
Is this game out yet and will 5 special be included for the ps2 version?
str8kila 2 years ago
Unfortunately no but it's a great game! mines justed arrived. it has samurai showdown 6 in it's own game,a vs mode a arcade mode and a practice mode. color edit save load sound setting and game option. they really did make it a classic game it has blood except for SS6 but it's definetly worth getting! ^_^
rednosechulo 2 years ago
that's kind of shitty after they said SS5 special would be included in the U.S. version. I wanted to play that game but once again snk got on some lazy shit and left it out like mark of the wolves in fatal fury collection. I guess they just forgot but That really burns my ass in three different ways but ima still get it since it's such a great fighting game collection even without the sexy samurai shodown 5 special
str8kila 2 years ago
it only saves it when you change difficulty levels, audio, bright, screen change, save/load profile option, and auto save option.
seclusionloner 2 years ago
it has galleries and music that is unlocked by it self when you startup the game. (you don't need to follow like beat the game, get the high score or something).
seclusionloner 2 years ago
i finally got it on psp version, but the problem is.... it doesn't have samurai shodown 5 special. the worse part is the high score of all SS games will never going to saved. that's mess up. i am so angry that it won't save my high score.
seclusionloner 2 years ago
What? No 5 Special? If that's the case, SNK Playmore should have given the game to another company for release in the US. Crave ( same company that released KOF Orochi Saga) which is in charge of the US release took too long. Ignition which was in charge of the PAL version didn't take too long. ignition should have been in charge of this one. Maybe they could have added 5 Special.

i call today at my local gamestop they told me they only have psp and wi, i was like ooo hell no dont tell me they wont be ps2 one, but i saw on best buy web site have ps2 , states that comes out march 31, soo il have to wait til 31 then, its better be on ps2, il goin to be piss as hell, if i have to go get only psp, i rather play it on my big screen tv 42 inch, and my surround system ....
swl9380 2 years ago
I don't really trust GameStop employees in general. The experience I had with them is that they are too busy having conversations with each other to do anything else. On top of that, if the game you're looking for is not mainstream, they don't seem too intersted in helping you. Back in February, I asked a manager when KOF 98 UM would come out. He told me nothing was in the system. He then went on to do something else. Excuse me but I wasn't done asking questions. I ended up leaving the store.
pmgpc69 2 years ago
The game ends up being in the store by the 3rd week of March. I's sure some employees are helpful but overall, they are not.
pmgpc69 2 years ago
u know i notice that my self here, too if not fuckin halo game or something else, they wont give fuck bout u , or what gameu askin, whole time i ask for ssa, they was like yaaa, its not in system, how fuck its not in system its been sayin that shit for month and still not in ssystem thats fuck b.s
il hope its comes out on best buy at 31 fuck gamestop, they take control on video games stores im sick of them ass

when i do get samurai shodown anthology for the wii im goin to play 3 first then 5 special cuz those are the ones i didnt get to play. i hate my friend right now this fool downloaded the japanese version for psp thats how i played. he teases me a lot lol

i still like the 1st one for snes thats the one i 1st played. even if i played it now it will still b good cuz its cool but i do no what u mean. sum classix are like that. lol i guess u will soon realize the graphics when u get older.

leothefox1 2 years ago 2
ya i already pre-ordered the ps2 version. i think that is the reason they r holding it back
SnoWboarDer6553 2 years ago
Crave is the company that's working on this. They worked on the US release of King of Fighters Orochi Saga which had glitches. That was released 4Q last year. I'm hoping there are no glitches in Samurai Shodown Anthology.
pmgpc69 2 years ago 2
yea man i hope soo, i like kof o collection but if wasnt some fck up glitches il be happy with it, but i pray to god, this is as good like metal slug collection that was pretty good with out any glitches
swl9380 2 years ago
Yea that game is collecting a lil bit of dust ....i was so upset at how many glitches and the fact u have 2 play team mode on every single 1! i mean come on no single player or vs mode??? i do hope they are setting Samurai Showdown Anthology glitch free.
rednosechulo 2 years ago
Did you get KOF 98 Ultimate Match? That was done by Ignition which is glitch free. It includes the original KOF 98 and the new version. This company also released Samurai Shodown Anthology (PAL/European version). No V Special but at least it's glitch free. Wished they worked on the US version as well. Not too sure of Crave which is in charge of the US release :(
pmgpc69 2 years ago
Not yet but i am prolly goin 2 buy it 2morrow so i can take my mind off of the Samurai showdown Anthology...=( so it's now the 24? man i sure hope it's worth the wait because the KOF orochi saga had me very upset. but im gonna wait and see if the 24 is the official release date is the KOF 98 Ultimate Match on point? im pretty sure it is but it'll be good 2 hear sum feedback about it.
rednosechulo 2 years ago
Hopefully the date is right but I've been watching this and it keeps getting delayed. I'm getting KOF 98 UM soon too. If you go on Amazon, you can see reviews for it - all positive. Other reviews say skip KOF Orochi Saga and get KOF 98 UM since you'll just be playing 98 anyway.
pmgpc69 2 years ago
Yea i own orochi saga and it's garbage...i was hoping it was a lot more fun but the glitches and playing team mode all the time made it kinda dull. i usually shop at amazon myself that's where i might buy the KOF 98 ultimate match. and yea i kno what u mean i been hearing all the time Samurai Showdown Anthology will be released on the date they say it will be released....but noooo now it's March 24 or maybe April 7. =(
rednosechulo 2 years ago
i havent got kof 98 um, but im planing of getin it soon, but 1st i got to get my hands on ssa, 1st i been waitin for that game for years, for collection like that, most of my wishies have come tru, if they only make double dragaon collection but arcades version and nes game included
that would be tight as hell, but u know and i know that wont happen
swl9380 2 years ago
I went to a different GameStop yesterday and actually found someone helpful. Was looking for KOF 98 UM and SSA. He said they were sold out of KOF 98 UM. Now here's the weird part. He says they don't carry new SSA for PS2 but will carry used ones. WTF? Will have to get new ones online then.

no truer words have ever been spoken I can't wait to play each game in it's original form. I had part 3 for the playstation and played it all night until I got blisters. The next morning my cousin sat on it and broke it. Life was never the same. After that i had to play the less attractive snes version of part 1 and it felt nasty

Hopefully, it will come out soon. Everywhere I look it shows March 24th or April 7th. I don't think anyone knows for sure. Heard that the publisher making the US version is the same one that did King of Fighters Orochi Saga. There were some glitches in that collection. Guessing they are fixing any glitches in this anthology before they release it.

please be specific they say 17/03/2009 tomorrow on the USA ebay site, and please please please will be samurai shodown 5 (special) i hope so because we have waited so long for it and i am very angry from USA SNK.
sadiq2008 2 years ago
I look every day on websites to see when this will come out. Amazon and Walmart show 03/24/09. Bestbuy shows 03/31/09.Gamestop doesn't show a PS2 version coming out but shows PSP and Wii coming out 04/07/09. Target shows it will be available in 2-6 weeks. Ebay says 03/17/09. The point is no one knows right now. 5 Special? From what I've read, it's included at least in the US version. I've read it's not included in the European version. I'm with you man. I can't wait!

how hard is it to make a collection of some old 2d fighting games and put them on a disc and send them out? It's not like they are creating these games from scratch so what's up with all these delays. Well at least kof 98 ultimate battle will hold me off until they decide to stop teasing us and drop this.
