Actually SNK was shocked when Shane Bettenhouse told them that their netcode sucked ass and that Japan was roughly a little bigger than half of California. SNK was shocked to realize how big the US is. At least that's what it was when it was posted on the Ignition boards for KOF XII way back when.
Who the f**k is that Shane Bettenstuff...?!
And what are you talking about, "Actualy..." so means KOF XIII, or KOF XII in Ignition boards?!...
And finaly, what is pertinent in your post?! Srry Just asking causes I dont see anything...
Wrong spelling. His name is Shane Bettenhausen. He's the one that used to be editor of EGM, he was also the Director of Business Development for Ignition entertainment and it was his call for King of Fighters XII console release. He was the one that talked to SNKP about the netcode for KOF XII and talked to them personally to fix the netcode and what America wanted.
He's also famous for his journalism and telling everyone point blank that the reason Xbox is preferred is because Microsoft gave EVERY magazine journalist FREE 360s. FREE copies of the games and FREE years of Xbox live.
Shane is also called Mangod for some odd reason.
The reason it's important is because he was on SNKP's ass for over a year about their netcode. He actually tried to hold them accountable for it and tried to get them to fix the shitty netcode. SNKP did the Japanese thing and said "Not possible" when in America you crack your fucking back and MAKE it possible.
I still wonder why SNKP went with GSS again. They make a great game that sold more in the western world but still has shitty Japanese netcode that can suck my balls.
