Didn't see this anywhere else, According to 1up.com:
SNK Playmore plans to release an upgraded version of Samurai Spirits Zero (Samurai Shodown V to American players) in Japanese arcades this spring, according to order solicitations from arcade distributors. Samurai Spirits Zero Special will feature adjustments to gameplay balance based on player feedback from the original version, as well as new playable characters.
Those characters may cause some balance problems of their own, though. They're all boss characters -- Amakusa Shiro from the original Samurai Spirits, Zankuro from Samurai Spirits 3, and the trio of Yumeji, Sankuro, and Gaoh from Samurai Spirits Zero proper. Mizuki, the second game's boss, is sadly nowhere to be seen.
A PlayStation 2 version of Samurai Spirits Zero is in the works, although its release date is unspecified. Hopefully we'll see the improvements from the Special version included in the home release as well, when SNK chooses to update the world with more information.
I should be elated. The game is going to be re-balanced and new characters are being added. But somehow I I feel slighted because I pre-ordered the original for $350, just so I could play one of the best versions of Samsho. Well hopefully, these changes will be in the Playstation 2 or eventual X-box versions (means I have to pick up another Xbox).
