The King of Fighters XIII

[eastyy]

ahh i love this game played the arcade version enough its just a far more complete game so i am expecting the home version to have more features

wish they kept the sprites the same size as kof XII though

[crocky-chocky]

Think shopto.net are selling the special edition on both formats.

[monel]

Are shop.to a decent firm? Does anyone know if Amazon aren't doing the bonus for defo? Otehrwise, it's shop.to, since HMV remind of the dark days of paying ?22.99 for import CDs.

is this game is good as I hated the last version last year. I regret importing it.

[monel]

It has a lot more characters and more stages, if you like the older KOF games I don't see how you can go wrong with this one.

[Neon Ignition]

Everything about this one makes KOFXII look like some kind of advanced alpha stage version

I only buy from Shopto for games that aren't out yet because I like their delivery policy(send it out asafp) and their prices. Even if a game is a few quid more from them I'll use them.

I think they used to have a delivery date promise where you'd get ?3 credit if you didn't receive your game on release but not sure if that's still the case. I bought GT5 from them when it came out and never received it. I bought it from HMV after a week or so of waiting and then got a refund from Shopto(which was painless and straightforward to do).

HMV have it as well but it's pictured rather than in the description

Shopto are pretty decent but only use PayPal with them, the only company that let my details get into the wrong hands and I was a victim of Internet fraud because of them

So I made sure I found it elsewhere before I used them

Ditto. I'd wait for reviews tbh.

[monel]

Thanks for the information guys, I have to really consider how badly I want the CDs. I'm tempted to wait till a week or two after release as bills are killing me right now.

Jesus, "now loading" between every single round. I'm avoiding this, its using the same code as last years. Loading screens between rounds? Didn't even get that on the PSOne ffs.

It looks good but that constant loading is horse****. One to pick up when cheap then

Maybe it wasn't intalled, installing cuts the load times greatly. The arcade version between rounds is like this

I'm really looking forward to it, unlike the last one It's got lots of great features/modes and is packed full of content, but it's the gameplay that really puts it above the other new fighters that have been coming out.

SCV and VF5FS are the only other fighters I'm looking forward to, SFxT is looking pretty bad.

I don't think it is going to make any difference, it will still say NOW LOADING between every round. I pointed this out on the last game, I just don't exactly know why it would need to reload the level you are already playing. Shoddy code.
