The King of Fighters XIII Official Preview." This will be held on March 25 from 18:00 to 19:30 at the Bellesalle event space in Akihabara.

 

Me thinks this will do much better.... there was nothing wrong with the first one other that the general lack of content in every department .. the game felt too rushed...If everything and some of the animations are fixed this could finally end being what it was meant to be.

nice to see this title back up again and no there is nothing on that site about an official release date, it just shows the date of the official preview and repeats the same junk for both the bullets. I've always found King a good all-rounder in this game.

 

While we're on the topic, best team combination? I generally liked

 

1 - Val

2 - King

3 - Iori

I srsly din think SNK could pull this ...this looks alot better than KOF12 and its smoother and faster...I just hope if it gets a console release the netcode is fixed...

King of Fighters XIII Beating Expectations in Japanese Arcades

 

While the following article will explain that the King of Fighters XIII is selling out and beating SNK Playmore's sales expectations in Japanese arcades, it is worth noting that they probably did a very small production run. It only makes sense to estimate low demand after KoF12's performance (or lack there-of) around the world. Thanks to SNK-Capcom for the write up.

 

"These days, it’s been pretty quiet in terms of gaming news from SNK Playmore Corp with some random news here and there for Xbox Live/PS3 releases, such as KOF Skystage and NEO GEO Heroes, which are surprisingly both shooters (both to be released as download format only). While console owners anxiously await for the release of King of Fighters XIII for both PS3 and Xbox 360, in order to get a taste of their much improved (over KOF XII) and praised fighter, you have to head to your arcades to capture the action. The only problem is, most arcades, especially in the United States (unless imported the unit from Japan/Hong Kong), are pretty much out of luck as all new units of KOF XIII on the Taito Type X² have all dried up and are out on the market. From the distributors that we’ve spoken to, used copies of this game are selling for more than the original new price itself (Sold as a NEW Kit: Taito Type X² Motherboard and KOF XIII Software ranges between $3500-4200 USD). A huge chunk of change considering today’s economy, but gamers are lining up to play, SNK Playmore Corp’s (and their former SNK JP) convincingly best product to this date. Well, all we can say is, when you make a quality product, you get results. As for the console version of the game, we will get a more detailed report on this in the next few weeks, but preliminary reports we received is that the online gameplay will NOT disappoint. We hope so because that could be a deal killer because these days, it’s all about the online gameplay."

awesome it looks like SNK learned from their mistakes and KOF is back :)
