^ topic.... did anyone? If so, what are your impressions? :)

How well does the game play? IF you have played the older Samurai Shodown games on the Neo Geo, how does it compare to those?

Post it up!

I havent seen it, but I have heard numerous rumors that this game was released in limited quanities it seems. Nobody knows why. 5 reports of people claiming that they have searched everywhere to obtain one single copy of this game.

Either the shipment is late or there wasn't enough made.

This game is also not compatible with the Xbox 360 even.

SSV on Xbox is more so of a hybrid of SSV and SSV Special, which means you can later unlock the hidden characters from SSV Special.

Those that have played say it's a pretty fair port.
 
It's a good port, although SS5 is IMO inferior to other games in the series (particularly 2 and 4) It does benefit from a lot of characters to pick from. I will say that Mina (the girl with the bow and arrow) is probably the most broken, unbalanced non boss character I've ever seen in any fighting game.
 
I am getting a few in stock here... in case anyone is interested. That would be crazy if it was limited... but that happened to Phantasy Star Online 1/2 plus - Gamecube.

So no one here has really played it? Or does that mean you played it Z-force?

I got it, I didn't have any experience with 5 prior to the XBox version, the cheapness of the bow girl is a major part of my impressions of the game since I pretty much blew through arcade mode with her without continuing, which is pretty much impossible in any of the other SS games.
