I heard a while ago that Samurai Shodown V Special probably won't be in this. SNK doesn't seem to mention SSVS being on the anthology in their website.

It better be here on April 7th, I'm beginning to lose my patience. Just because it's a compilation of one of the greatest fighting series ever created doesn't mean you can keep us waiting all the time. I mean, Japan doesn't even have a release date yet!

It's already released in Japan & maybe Europe too. I heard the NA version won't be released until April 14.
