Incomplete content leads to Disappointment

User Rating: 7.5 | Samurai Spirits: Rokuban Shoubu (NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 12) PS2
When I bought Samurai Shodown Anthology, I thought this was a dream come true. I love this blade fighting series. But after playing it, I realized that the dream was too good to be true. Let me go into details about my experience with the incomplete content of this collection:

Note: all the games have RED blood in it (a censored blood color (not red) would have made this collection worthless).

SS I & II
I don't know if it's me or my memory is failing, but I remember that I could chop my opponent in two given it was a fatal finishing blow in midair and coins will drop out of him/her. This feature is MISSING in both games.

SS III & IV
Apparently these two look complete (I hope I'm right).

SS V
Now here is were the BIGGEST disappointment lie. I own the Japanese version (Samurai Spirit Zero) (too bad I don't read Japanese), so when I played the English version of this collection, I thought, now I will know what the background story of this game is about.
I was SHOCKED to find out that the scenes of interaction between characters of the Japanese version were completely GONE. There are NO small pieces of dialog that usually exist at a given moment in the game. It's just fighting from start to finish. There is NOT even a dialog before you fight the final boss. In short, this game was totally BUTCHERED (WHAT were you thinking, SNKPlaymore?).

SS VI
This game is new to me, so I DON'T know if there are any changes.


Well, I hope anyone who reads this will know what they are getting in this collection, that with my point of view IS INCOMPLETE. Which resulted in my DISAPPOINTMENT.
I will be more careful with future collections from SNKPlaymore.

And I will say this to them: SNKPlaymore, you CAN do better!
