[lemonflav]

Damn the price just keeps going up and up.

 

[NeoCverA]

lol, damn that sucks.

edit*
well the US cart is still within reason.
theres 3 Jap carts left, perhaps this is why.

 

[Insaneclown]

Holy fuck...thats just crazy.

I wonder what the last SSVS jpn aes cart remaining will sell for. I hope not $999.99.

 

[redrum666]

Samurai Shodown V Special

[KOF RUGAL B.]

Here we go again......i wonder what the price for a us version will go up after they are all sold out....OMGGGG teh rareeee

 

[Curt]

What about the supposed "Fixed" carts.

Did shawn still send some of his stock back to SNKP in Japan?

Or did that all fall through, after Razoola got the Unibios 2.0 to unlock the Fatalaties???


In any case, i'm glad I have my JP copy.

I really wish I didn't sell mine now.

 

[Curt]

I really wish I didn't sell mine now.

Doh, man.... Just "Doh!"

 

[mdog]

I really wish I didn't sell mine now.

I really wish I was the one who bought your Like New copy for $318.

 

[Force]

I think all retail stores should just jack up the price of new items it's running low on. How awesome would it be to go get the last copy of gradius V, only to bring it to the counter and have it scan for $90.

Fixed carts = worthless fucked-up shit

same is happening in Japan, brand new SSZS original carts sell for the DOUBLE of the original retail price.

Fixed version down and down, even below the haòf-price mark.

Just as forseen, I say.

 

[evil wasabi]

This is the textbook definition of price gouging.

 

[Amano Jacu]

Fuck the AES and its insane prices, all I care is about the price of the MVS kit. Any sign of it going down?

 

[BIG BEAR]

I'm thinking many of the English carts did'nt make the trip back for repairs.
Oh how fortunate most English fans are that SNKP does'nt give a rat's ass about them eh?
I've experienced the the uni-bios unlock and this game is NASTY..generic fatalities all the time,every time
My blade is no longer dull!! No Sankuro though
Why did'nt he replace Gaoh-X?

Any sign of any in stock? I think for the moment its dried up.

Loose cart here for TBA price.

 

[BIG BEAR]

BTW, it appears that SNKP has succeeded in making SSV and SSVS different enough to warrant purchasing and keeping both because I've been scanning for a 'used' SSV and have'nt seen too many in recirculation.

[Chicago Cheeseburgler Crew]

lol

 

[terry.330]

What did you guys expect? It sure as hell wasn't going to get cheaper.

I still want an unfixed jp. version

I don't think so. I think I bought my kit just in time...

 

[TonK]

My Xbox will have that game for free soon...

$495 in my pocket!

 

[finngamer]

Fixed carts = worthless fucked-up shit

So has it been confirmed, that the UniBIOS can't bring back full fatalities on fixed carts?

And why isn't my unfixed US cart rising in value?

 

[Spike Spiegel]

This is really lame. Shawn's not known for this low low prices to begin with. But, this does happen. Hell, Arcade Shock does the same thing. When it gets low, the price rises. Pretty dumb. What Matt said really made me think about Gradius V. Good point, and yeah, I'd be pissed if that's what happened everywhere else. But, to a degree it's understandable, as Shawn knows some of us are loaded and WILL buy it. Doesn't make it right, but Shawn knows that he'l get the money for it. Hmmm.

AES... pfft. MVS all the way. Hell, people are even price gouging on the MVS one now, too.

SSVSP isnt even worth 200$ in neo funds.
The additions are useless, and as far as im concerned, move wise they went lax on Mizuki. Its still just Shizumaru vs 'teh world', and even then theres little to salvage. I've seen enough Zankuro.
If you could get ssv over ssvsp for ten dollars less, IMO it would make no difference.

The gameplay gets to a level where it becomes a poke fest, and if you are a shizu player, you are pretty much set. Its fun for kicks, but serious matches are rare because it seems nobody cares to learn. SSV was a masterwork in using this simple gameplay, by having the ability to cancel so many things. Like my Suiva thread I wrote late last year, thats what made me come back to it.
SSVSP is a collectors piece as far as im concerned in this aspect. Sure you get the bosses and all, but they are just gonna sit while people use the godly tiers in this, instead of stupid zankuro and his missing sC only to have him get teh pwned.

Its not different enough from SSV to warrent a purchase. I would have liked to see cham cham, earthquake, gen-an and sieger to return. These characters people care much more about then stupid Mizuki to begin with. This is never taken into account, and I think the fans were supremely ignored for this release.
Cause SNKP is not SNK and is lazy as hell.

I myself could toss a few poorly animated bg's together and rip characters from older games ad nauseum, why is it okay for Playmore to do this? Then if thats not bad enough, censor the only new content right out of the fucking game itself, then you gotta send it back or comission razoola to do a bios to recover the retarded change.

There is to much hastle involved with this release.

AMEN! I agree 100%. I haven't played SSVS, and really how could I, but SSV was just fine, I thought. SSVS will always be a collector's item on both MVS and AES. If you're lucky enough to have one on MVS, don't play it. It's going to be worth huge money in the future, I think. Also, because so many people will never get to play this, everyone's going to say it's the best one out, and who can argue. Nobody will know any better.

SS2 and SSV are all I need for SS. Screw V special. I wish I could have bought it, still, but it's not worth this much trouble.

You can keep saying this to yourself, but it doesn't change the fact that SSVS IS the best SS. And no, I'm not just saying that because "many people will never get to play it".
