This is probably going to start a whirlwind of rumours, but we are to believe Hokuto (and I do), the delay of XII by “several” months is a very good thing.

a) it means SNK have finally stopped rushing out products, learned from their mistakes and will produce a polished product.

b) players can now put more time into 2002um without worrying about everyone dropping it immediately because of XIII.  That’s not going to happen for a very long time now.

SO GET BACK INTO PRACTICE!  …. Or the speculation of DLC characters can start now in earnest.
