Rumor: KOF XIII console release details in next Famitsu?

Found a pretty cool interview on Orochinagi with ATLUS and SNK

Fingers crossed it does get a PAL release and hopefully an Australia PAL release since we never got KOF '98 UM, but Europe and the UK did. Still slightly ticked off about that. I could probably get Gametraders to import the game for me if worst comes to worst (Ebgames Australia wont do imports) but I can assure you I’ll be paying a huge amount for it.

You might not need to import after all, Rising Star Games is publishing KOF XIII in Europe. Don't know If it means they'll publish it for Australia too, but I have a feeling they will.

Import again huh, Yeah that's sounds about right! Ah, well just have to wait and see what happens.

Found this on Dream Cancel. Just when it looked like KOF XIII was only a month away, SNK Delaymore is back

Really? A week after UMVC3? KOF is officially screwed
On the bright side though, this gives SNK some time to fix some bugs and improve the netcode or put the DLC chars on disc, not to mention it'll be out a day before my Thanksgiving break starts so I'll have more time to play it.

Some good news KOF XIII has made its way to Australia. I was at JB-HI-FI over the weekend and I saw four brand new copies of KOF XIII, they were the European release of the game imported here. The shop just went and slapped the Australian PG classification stickers over the European rating stickers. However they were charging $70 AUD for the game. I’ve never had to pay over $50 AUD for a single SNK game I own. So I never bought a copy.

I ended up getting Muramasa for the Wii instead for $35 brand new. I’ll wait for a price drop before I try out the thirteenth instalment in this series.

Also on another note from what I’ve heard EBgames Australia refuses to sell the game in store on their selves because they know how unpopular the series is down here. So the only means of getting KOF XIII through them is on their website but apparently they’ve now sold out all their copies of the game.

I still haven’t been to Gametraders yet, but they do video game imports and sell rare games like this for cheaper prices so fingers crossed for when I visit them next.

Let me just say I've been playing KOF XIII on an on-and-off basis since it came out and I'm loving it. Half of the time I just like to mess around with the color editor, so I might as well share a few. The color selection is decent, but not vast enough (there's not even an orange for most characters) so the edits aren't perfect.

I thought your Iori was Rolf until I got to the red shoes and double checked how you labeled it. Nice work on the Duo Lon edit. It's a remarkable resemblance.

Glad you like 'em Thoul! And I've got plenty more colors, so I might try posting 4-5 a day.

Also, SNK's planning an arcade update based on the console version.

Made a few more edits.

K' as Harley Quinn, Two Face, and Lois Griffin


Ryo as one of the Cheetahmen from Action 52 and Akuma


Leona as Leela from Futurama

I'm not familiar with most of those characters, but that's a good likeness of Akuma and Two-Face. Well done.
