SNK Playmore promises optimized online for KOF XII photo

We all know how frustrating it can be when an intense online battle is crippled by lag or poor network performance. It's enough to make you want to punch somebody in the face, especially if you were ... well, about to literally punch a guy in the face. But if SNK Playmore has anything to say about it, you won't be experiencing any of that with King of Fighters XII.

After receiving a small number of reports from players who've run into some minor issues while playing online, SNK Playmore has already jumped on it with an official patch to be released same-day with the PS3 version, and one for Xbox 360 following closely behind.

The company stresses that the majority of players won't have any trouble at all, but it's nice to know they're on top of things just in case. Here's hoping whatever bugs might be lurking out there are long since squashed by the time we're ready to start beating the crap out of each other.

Won a copy through the Twitter party today, really looking forward to losing some matches against fellow DToiders. Hopefully while everyone is focused on that I can work my game up in BlazBlue.

I got some lag. After this, DLC. I want SNK to innovate and be the first devs to release completely new downloadable characters and stages. Cus I still believe K and Mai will be dlc and only 5 stages (and one color swap) is sort of bullshit.

...but it IS snk and I don't realistically expect them to innovate.

Wait, wait, wait. PS3 gets patched before 360?

BIAS!

Yup - Despite all this.. this game is pure fighting. Almost like it as much as BlazBlue. :D

What about the netplay of every other SNK game released on XBLA? How about a patch for that you lazy fucks? Or translating the rest of KoF98UM? SNK already has an amazing line up of games that just need a few "minor" fixes to be awesome. Maybe they can steal Capcom's netcode from SSF2T:HDR.

As much as I love SNK, I'm afraid Rabite's comment just nailed it perfectly.

So SNK Playmore promises something, that should have been included in the first place. Nice.

Let me be the first to say I downloaded this patch this morning and I'm still kinds noticing some lag... In street fighter iv even if someone had very bad signal strength that game still ran smooth... Not so much wit kof xii and that's being said WITH the new patch... It's improved but only SLIGHTLY

I wholeheartedly agree with @Rabite, SNK needs to really shape up on the other games that are on XBLA. God knows I've tried playing online with people, and it's really painful to the point I *will* punch someone in the face. :/
