Is it REALLY coming out on March 25 as stated on SNKp's website or has it been pushed back? I am curious because aside from a few early screenshots and some info about the hidden characters, there is not much news at all or any new screenshots about this upcoming port which is supposed to be released next week.

A few conclusions I came up with:

1) The release date has been pushed back. Sometimes it's hard to trust SNKp's release dates IMO especially when it comes to ports.

2) SNKp is going for a "quiet" release.

3) SNKp is releasing it with other ports in a compilation.

It's definitely out today. Importers got the game a few days ago. I wouldn't exactly call a port of a two-year old game big news for the PS2, that's why there's not a lot of attention about it.

I'll have my copy tomorrow and will post impressions; you can't even find large enough screenshots to see how the backgrounds look now, so I'm very curious as to how it's going to look.

The hidden characters are as follows: Rugal (Playable from the start), Shingo, King (both from the DC version), Orochi Iori, Geese, and Goenitz. O. Iori, Geese, and Goenitz are all taken right from SvC Chaos, so expect those move sets.
