Samurai Shodown Anthology PS2

[DarkOrochi]

When this game will be released in the U.S.A? The release date is still in March 10, 2009?

Looks like it. Amazon and EB Games both have that as the set date. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. That release date could change on a whim, knowing SNK.

I'll be getting the Wii version, however. It's just more convenient than the PS2, since it's in my room and the PS2 is not. The one thing that has me is that they didn't include SS5 Special, when at first, they said they were. Why didn't they just cut SS5 out, since it was apparently unbalanced anyways, and put SS5 Special in it's place? Oh well. Maybe they will include it, thanks to all the delays.

I have this feeling that SSA port is gonna be bad. I wish Ignition was handling it.

Ok, what the hell? There's like three different dates I've seen for this, and it's supposed to be out this week. EBGames.com says April 7, and they've been wrong before with SNKP's games, so I'll rule them out. Buy.com says March 24, and Amazon says March 13, but also has a seller called Hubbagames that claims to have it in-stock for the Wii.

I'm not sure if I should order it, then have them tell me it's not actually in-stock. No one else seems to have it, except this seller. Anyone know about the actual set date?

[Rock_Dash3X]

Yeah, I post on Gamefaqs and people have brought the dates up. Gamecrazy system has it listed as the 24th (website may still say 10th). I do remember when I think it was Neogeo Battle Colosseum, Hubbagames said they had the game in stock when sites were changing their dates back and they did happen to have the game in. They had the game like a few days after the date they claim to ship which isn't bad since most companies were changing the date 2 weeks after. So Hubbagames may be right and you may get it close to that date.

But who knows? I'm not gonna be real mad if it doesn't come out next week. Still trying to make up money for my Fightstick.

Reminds me of all the date confusion over the Metal Slug Anthology PSP and PS2 releases.

Well, I asked Hubbagames and they said it was on pre-order. It still says in-stock too. I'm going to wait until I know it's 100% out in stores so I don't have to go through a bunch of trouble for a return.

[Rock_Dash3X]

I'm hearing that alot of online stores have actually shipped it and some people found it in small game stores. It's safe to believe that it does come out this week. I won't really officially know till Friday cause that's when my store usually gets SNK games on Friday. I hope I have enough money to get it. I'm super poor.

It's just not worth it to me anymore since 5 Special isn't on there anymore.

True. I was a little sadden when they said it was gonna be in it, but more info seem to not include it. It seems a little odd to say it's the complete SS collection with 5 Special not in it. Good thing is people are saying it's arcade perfect and runs great. That news always makes me happy.

I'm into learning to play games like tournament players and from what I have been told about this series is that all but 2 games in the series are horrible to play due to unbalanced characters and glitches/exploits. And those 2 games are 2 and 5S. I do like having fun playing games but I also like playing as balanced as possible games. I already have SS2 on the VC on my Wii so I'm happy with just that.

I already ordered my copy of the game way back in January, I just have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. I'm basically buying it just for the chance to play SSIV again, because I think that game is so amazing.

I'm use to play SS2 but some of the moves is kinda hard to pull off especially Hanzo's Portal Drop move. But now I'm giving the chance to play all of the Samurai Shodown series. Can't wait to play SS6.

IV was also my fav SS. It's mainly the fact that I've played that the most compared to the others in the series. Can't wait to relive it!

On a good news, my game was shipped out yesterday. It should arrive today when I'm at work. Glad I don't have to close today! YES!
