The $359 price tag is less than I expected. I thought that this final release would be at least $400. So I guess putting down $368 ($9 shipping) isn't too bad just as long as the product is good. I am glad that I didn't drop the money for Samurai Shodown 5 since this game is a little bit better. I seriously doubt that there will be an English translation though because the game was only release in Japan on MVS format. The only way to get an English translation of this game is for Shawn to drop the money down to pay for it. An English professor in Japan would do the job for probably less than $1,000 since there really isn't that much text to translate. Then you would need a programmer to input the code and that should be pretty much it. I don't think that this will happen but if this game did have an English translation in it, that would be a huge selling point IMHO.
