Samurai Shodown V Special AES
Recall Instructions
| SNK Playmore has authorized a recall of all Samurai Shodown V
Special (Samurai Spirits 0 Special) home cartridges. This recall will
involve bug fixes and the addition of fatalities. (The fatalities were
originally removed at the last minute due to the Nagasaki incident, a
murder caused by a child killing her classmate by knife.) Bug fixes: improvements on Voice, Back Ground Music, and Practice mode Fatalities:
SNK PLAYMORE says they will modify the game program by including the removed "Zetumei Ougi"
in a modified version. You should know that this new version will not show
the complete fatalities, they will instead be replaced by what SNK
PLAYMORE refers to as "lessened fatalities". |

RECALL FAQ (under construction)
When is the deadline for participating in this
recall?
The cut off is August 18th, that is the day we plan to ship all cartridges to to
Japan for reprogramming. To meet this deadline, you should return your
SSVS or SS0S cartridge(s) as soon as possible to allow time for delivery.
What if I ordered from NCS?
You would need to send your SSVS (SS0S) cartridge to NCS. You should
receive an email from them, or you can contact NCS for return instructions.
What if I want to order the original version with the bugs and missing
fatalities?
SNKP asked us not to ship any of the remaining stock so that they could be
returned to Japan for reprogramming. However, it is understandable that some may
prefer their cartridge to be in top condition without cart sticker creasing. You
can order the original
English or
Japanese version
SSVS now, but understand that you would not be able to return this cartridge for
reprogramming.
Will copies of the fixed version be offered on the NeoStore?
Yes. Our large portion of our remaining stock will be returned to Japan for
reprogramming. When the return shipment is received back from Japan the
programmed version will be offered at the current retail price of $359.
Preorders for the “fixed version” are being considered.
What sort of condition guarantee is there for anyone who
orders a cart once they return? Scuffs, marks, creases etc are all valid
concerns. Sorry to sound like a stickler, but for $359, there's a legit reason
to want minty fresh.
Of course we would hope that all remaining stock would be returned in mint/new
condition. Unfortunately, they would need to open the cartridge case in order to
access the chips. 90% of home cartridge repairs sent to SNKP will result in a
creased cartridge sticker at the plastic seem. Additional scuffs and scratches
created at the factory are also a possibility.
