Why does KOF XII suck so much? (Was "So KOF XII is delayed?")

Seems to be according to Famitsu.

Anyone have details?

BanishingFlatsAC · Jul 3, 2009

Last I checked it was pushed back to the 20th, but knowing delaymore a later date would not surprise me.

Thanks.

I checked the official site and it just says July.

Let's hope they give us a decent product in the end...

Still says 7/20 on Gamefaqs and Gamestop webpages.

hanafuda · Jul 8, 2009

30th of July according to Amazon Japan.

Psycho_Kenshin · Jul 8, 2009

Amazon.com has it as July 28th for the USA release, hopefully it's not pushed back any later than that.

Rade K · Jul 8, 2009

Fawq this suxoerz

no clear date of release.

LWK · Jul 8, 2009

Why is this shit so hype? Its like the weirdest most alien engine for a KOF yet.

Kim Kaphwan · Jul 8, 2009

Blazblue should hold me over until it's XII's release. Hopefully they're working on the netcode.

It seems like all the games that have a big hype about them...always get pushed back before release. Sometimes I wonder if they go and look at presale values and then go..."Well not enough people know about it, lets push it back another month and try then"

Replace "a big hype about them" with "any direct link to SNKP" and you'd be 100% correct.

I really hope KOF XII is worth a damn. I looks great but gameplay wise SNKP has never wowed me.

Ajax · Jul 8, 2009

It is weird when compared to other KOFs. It has fewer characters than past KOFs, it's way slower and characters have less moves. This game will be worth it though. For once, you can see that SNKP spent a lot of time on something.

Neo Alec · Jul 9, 2009

As things stand, it seems to be July 28 in the US and July 30 in Japan. The English trailer they just released a couple days ago still says July, so they shouldn't be able to delay it any further.

How do we know the move list to be lessened? Has it been revealed?

If so I hadn't seen it.

Ilovejapangirls · Jul 9, 2009

Reguardless of a date, and reguardless as to if I will love it or hate it, still going to pick it up on whatever release date they give the damn thing.

If it hasn't changed since the arcade release then it's a little smaller (1-2 moves for each character less)

Thanks for clarifying.

they ought to delay it indefinitely until they can put in a boss and some story.

The game has already been reviewed in Japan. I doubt they would add anything at this point.

Those must be of the arcade version. On the very same page it says the release was delayed until July 30 in Japan as well.
