"Atlus narrows down the fall North American release for the console version of The King of Fighters XIII today, promising console-exclusive characters, stages, and game modes galore. Until then, expect screenshots and trailers galore, much like these. See if you can spot some of the console-exclusive content in the trailer of the thirteenth King of Fighters title, and keep an eye out for the new NEO MAX desperation moves, eating up the power gauge three bars at a time. That's why they call it desperation, folks.

Look for The King of Fighters XIII on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this October."


Well, looks like another source is saying "characters", plural,  so billy isn't the only one then. Also more stages, so looks like HD ports of the ones we saw for KOF-I are comming too. The article also mentions NEOMAX moves taking 3 bars. I could really only see them costing 2 bars in 1v1 honestly. It makes the most sense, you only have one character without a team backing you up shit is going to be intense.

would look nice on the vita, wouldnt want to see this on 3ds or normal psp though. same way i wopuldnt want to see this for the pc (piracy) and 360 actually (most people i know still pirate 360, only a select few actually buy their shit).

Yeah, sadly piracy is on every platform now. Microsoft seems to do a good/sneaky ban job on most pirates though. I've been tempted to pirate before but for games like this they NEED our money, on every platform they can put it out on. I know SNKP makes a lot off of Pachinko but if we want them to continue their awesome legacy of solid fighters people should be buying this game. Games like Black Ops or Gears 3 probably aren't even going to notice. It's like take a gold bar from Scrooge McDuck.

Has anyone else been having issues viewing the KOF I gallery in full resolution? All i get are thumbnails

Time for my first post.

I gotta say all this kof content on the iphone is really making me consider switching from android to apple. I'm really excited to see where Atlus takes the franchise in the market. I'm hoping it can make it into the spotlight at least for a bit. I know a lot of attention is being divide up between SxT, soul calibur V, and tekken tag 2 but it's games like this that make me proud to be a fighting game fan. Capcom's latest offerings have been good but they seem to be missing the part that matters and that's solid mechanics and a usable roster.

Rant aside, I don't think we'll see Atlus make too big of moves on this game until Catherine is released. They are an awesome company but they are going to put their own game first. I'm hoping we'll get some announcements from comic-con.
