The King of Fighters XIII 2ND |OT| Thread: Final Edition

[MetalThrashingMadman]

So the release date for Japan is Oct 27 and the official release date for NA has not been announced. If the release date for NA was to be something like Nov 29, would any of you import the game to play it a monthly early at home? and then buy the NA version again?

Remember JP/Asia PS3 version is not region protected and you can go online with it.


My response? Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!

I would definitely not import this game. Atlus is going to the trouble of bringing this game to us and I would hate to deny them what they deserve. Also, how is SNK to know how well the game is received in america if we all import?

That's why I ask? would you purchase the NA version again? How great would it be for Atlus if we purchase both versions?

Sorry, I assumed you meant importing instead of getting the US version. I got no beef with anyone who wants to get both versions. I personally don't have the kind of money to be buying the same game twice (or in my case 3 times since I am planning on buying a copy for a friend that I am desperately trying to convert to KOFism), but to each his own I guess.

As for the release date itself, I'm confident that the 25th is accurate. We did get KOFXII 2 full days before the japanese did if I recall correctly.

does someone have a translation from the famitsu thing? i read something about being able to choose between neo-maxes (neo-max blablabla kimero) but i can't make the rest out due to the low res.

And Ignition is publishing the game in Japan!? WTF?

[Ashspiralingblood]

Really, why cant we have both neomax choices (if its true) instead of picking one, unless they share the same command input

[THE ANSWER]

Wtf?????

[sibarraz]

WUT?

Better Scan by SpekSNK:

And they translated it into spanish, but nothing new really.

EDIT: It just says what we know, about the NeoMAX's, it just says that they are back from the old game. So nothing out of what it was translated already.

[sibarraz]

mmm, I will translate it.

Intro: Finally has arrived, the fighting game that was released on arcades in the summer of 2010. With a roster of 30 characters, it will start an incomparable fight

In the console version there will be more than six game modes, this game will conserve the NEOMAX moves which were introduced on the arcades. (so yeah, no new neomax)

BIG LETTERS: BILLY KANE ON SCENE, ONLY FOR KOF XIII ON CONSOLES

Billy: With his fighting technique using a 3 part stick, and making his return since KOF 2003, Billy Kane is back to make their enemies suffer with fire.

NEW STAGES INCLUDED

There are plans to include  new varied stage.

WITH ONLINE GAME TOO!

Tons of aspects had been fixed from the last entry of the series, and one of them is the online game, which is now more fluid



God, my english sucks

The new stage looks really nice. It's not full of people or anything, but it looks as if it'll possibly be a return to form of having some "Gorgeous water/nature stage" in SNK fighters. And if they keep up the trend, we should have a nice sweeping pic of it up on their website before release, lol.

Should be interesting to see what they pull off with Billy's color palette... hope they have one that looks just like Franco Bash!

Thanks to SpekSNK for the better screenshot, and thank Sibarraz for the better translation!

I think that new background is for Story Mode, I can definitely see that, it reminds me to a garden, which is most likely by Elizabeth Mansion? And after seen that, is the Story mode taking place before, after or during the tournament?

Call me crazy, but I think the Story mode will take place After the Tournament and it will be a story mode to bring back Ash. I doubt SNKP will kill the "Hero" of a saga that easily.

[sibarraz]

judging by the screenshot, it seems that will be within the tournament


I don't know, if they want to explain why Ash Died, just say that everything was a dream from bao who was watching a snow globe (that had the rose stadium within it) after he played Psycho Soldier (Explaining why athena and kensou were wearing their old outfits, same the other characters)

[solidshark]

Thanks for the translation sibarraz.

Excited at the look of the new stage, almost reminds me of the nature stage from SVC, minus the waterfall. I was hoping for the return of the Russia stage from XII, but now they give us one that looks too real to be spritework.

Should be interesting to see what they pull off with Billy's color palette... hope they have one that looks just like Franco Bash!

Franco is fine, but I'm hoping more for Lawrence Blood.
