If you were expecting to finally get your eager hands on King of Fighters XIII in late-October, you're going to have to wait just a tad longer. Atlus announced earlier this week that the fighter won't be available within the original release window of October, but instead on November 22nd.

Atlus VP of sales and marketing Tim Pivnicny explained the push was made to "ensure that the game delivers on its promise of becoming the finest entry in the series' 15+ year history." That's an awful bold promise to make, but an exciting one nonetheless. To help tide you through the extra time you now have to wait for KoF XIII, Atlus put a nice little trailer together for you to get excited over.

King of Fighters XIII delayed [CVG] --Thanks Epic-Kx!

Played this version in an arcade that has a lot of imported titles. It's thankfully a LOT better than 12 was and is a blast to play. I just don't know if I want to pick up another fighter.

@Mon thunder you're 12.

Shame that this got delayed. Hopefully it will be a better game because of it.

No normally it is because the developers need more time to finish things up , it can be sad when you look forward to a game and it gets closer and closer to release, then it get's delayed but you should know it is most of the time for the best. No one is behind anything.

Really wished Blue Mary and Vanessa would be playable but I'm still excited. Only fighting game I'm looking forward to this year.

I don't see how this is a bad thing, provided they're not removing code from the final build in order to sell as DLC. If it has any this will be the first entry in KOF to have DLC, not something to be happy about.

Played a bit of the leak and I'm still looking forward to buying the console version for online MP and the extras.

I've always liked to learn how to use every character in KOF, the thought of paying $8 dollars per character to be able to say I have a full roster makes me sick to my stomach. Fuck character DCL on fighters.

Sooo... to tide us over for an extra month, Atlus has given us a 1:36 minute video? Yeah screw you too buddy. Anyways Dark Souls is all that matters to me right now....my pre-order for KOF XIII has been in since August and will get here when it gets here. More time for DS if ya ask me.

@Epic-Kx:

I own KOF XII, I think I didn't even finish it once, felt so burnt with that demo of a game that I never inserted it again on the console. Was there actually DLC for that game? lol

Yeah man I know this is one big government conspiracy like how you can't play Xbox games you downloaded on two different systems I have one in each room of my trailer and I'm like what the hell what does it matter I bought all of these and I should be able to play whatever I want and fighting game dlc is so stupid because u have to pay money for stuff that should be in the game anyways but man I love king she's so handsome and OH YEAH VIDEOGAMES.

Played this at PAX Prime, and that was enough to sell me. Fast, fluid, and fun to play! For sure a day one purchase, however, a little iffy about the DLC. Know 98 Iori is gonna be there, gonna wait for the Geese announcement before throwing down some extra cash for it though...

Played this back at Arcade Infinity before they closed it down and I loved it. Best KOF I've played in awhile. Can't wait....even though we have to for a bit longer.

Maybe they wanted to improve the netcode some more? I have no idea how much Atlus could improve on a game that they were only publishing.

The way they rebalanced this console version seems very intelligent, on top of beautiful graphics and a ton-of-fun gameplay system, this one should be a winner.

That's pretty pathetic on EA's part, but it's probably because they have a bunch of uneducated, vindictive little baboons wearing mittens moderating all fourms. Watch as they try to find a way to ban me even though I'm not on their shitty VPN reviews
