Okay let me "break it down" for anyone who thinks Special is going to be even remotely playable.
In Japan SNK still wants to honor the NeoGeo and keep Special as an AES/MVS exclusive. SNK USA however is a different story entirely. They don't care, and were quoted as saying something along the lines of "if its not in there, we will get it in there."
As far as I know, SNK Playmore USA handled SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1. Do you all know how horrid that compilation turned out?
What SNK Playmore USA is planning to do is take Japan's code and shovel in SSV Special.
Don't get your hopes up at all. Be very skeptical. SNK USA is going to crap all over this release.

No word yet, however if you pay very very close attention to the intro video for each Japanese compilation, it shows none other than *drum roll* Ninja Masters. I guess they had the intentions of releasing it, but hadn't yet. I don't think we will know until the next TGS, because by that time 98 Ultimate Match, Sunsoft, and Samurai will have already been released.Anyone know what SNK will be releasing next in the Neo Geo Collection series? Any word on Ninja Masters??

Yeah, I'd noticed Ninja Masters quite clearly on the intros for Online Collections which is why I'd asked of anyone knew anything about the release... I wasn't expecting the SS collection until much later on in the year... Guess we'll wait until TGS then, not that there's much left to port now.

Just wondering if you found any evidence to support this. Because I'm curious too.

Here is the best information I have to go on thus far:
1.) Every NeoGeo compilation developed by SNK of Japan has been released in Japan first, then North America. SNK Arcade Classics hasn't even been released in Japan yet.
2.) So far SNK of Japan has managed to release 11 compilations in their NeoGeo online lineup. None of them are as horrid and unplayable as SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1.
3.) In an interview with SNK USA, they stated "SNKP: When I personally make the title of our first collection, SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1..." Notice how he says "I personally" and "our first collection".

Good stuff. I hope you're right, it would explain a lot. Usually collections of this size are not released in Japan. The Capcom ones, the Taito ones, all compiled outside of Japan.
What ever happened to that Japanese cover someone posted a while back? All I can find for sale is the Asian PSP one, and that has that cover. If it really does get a Japanese release, it will be sort of unprecedented. Too bad it's also such a shoddy release. They ought to clean it up first.

If anyone was looking for the stateside release of SSVS (like myself), you're in for dissapointment.
Contrary to earlier reports, the SNKP website now only says 6 games are in the collection - looks like SSVS is staying right where it is.

"Tons of unlockable bonus content material" seems a bit ambiguous, but it's the last hope for it to be included in this collection. Still highly unlikely.
