Kind of came out of the blue, it's coming out on the 24th July.

I really do hope this release reflects the quality of say the Fatal Fury battle archives volumes.

It should.

It is being done by SNKP Japan unlike that horrible SNK Classics which was handled by SNKP USA.

:rolleyes:

Out of the blue? This shit was announced more than two years ago!

Oft-delayed, forgotten (by many)...maybe. Long overdue, abso-fucking-lutely.
I'm going to play this into the ground this weekend, until my fingers are worn out little stumps that resemble the cast from Time Bandits.

And when I wins my first round, you'll have your grandfather come on dressed as a fireman and give a wink to the defeated player. Just to confuse them as much as Sean Connery's cameo.

Um, this date is for the Japanese release.
I have no clue when it arrives stateside, nor do I have any faith Playmore release dates. Neither should anyone else.

Well, I do have a modded PS2, so I wouldn't mind getting the Japanese release if it has an English option, a la Last Blade I & II Compendium. I know Garou didn't and those are the only two import versions I've played, so I'm a little weary of buying the Japanese version. I need Inglés!

When you buy it, please let me know if it does in fact let you switch the language to English.

Well, Garoudensetsu Battle Archives 2 has the English option, and so did AoF, so I'm inclined to believe it will, but I will be posting my impressions of it regardless. Me and ChunkyLover should be getting ours by Thurs/Fri courtesy of NCS.

Getting a release from SNK-P is like ordering shit off the back of a cereal box when you were a kid..

You got all excited..
Then you waited.
and waited...
and waited..
then the 6th (of the 6-10) week came...
Nada..
10 weeks.
Nothing...
Then you forgot all about it...
And one day it was just there.

Even the KOF Orochi collection has an english language setting. I would assume that this would as well. Even if it doesnt it's not a real problem.

I'm really looking forward to this. I still haven't had a go at SS6 which looks amusing enough.

If the import winds up having an English option, I really will have to get off my duff and start picking up this and some of the others mentioned as well.

IGN has some impressions of the US version up. They state outright that it does include SS5 Special (which the Japanese version does not).

If those pics are legitimately of the US PS2 version, then blood appears intact.
