Oh god... that's the worst news I've heard in a long time.
I really hope SNKP isn't dying for real this time.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
One can only hope that the decreased popularity in the arcades will lead to a console port finally being made.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
Well you do have to factor in the new NesicaLive thingy with BBCSII and the arrival of SSF4.
But the game is out for 6 months already. We know it's not going to last forever, and if you ask me 6 months is okay. It's not like the game's totally taken away from cabinets anyway.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
The future of SNKP looks so grim, i hope XIII makes them some money if they ever release it on consoles. Then maybe just maybe, we can see garou 2 or a new Samurai Spirits, that's abit of blind faith though.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
Well we got KOF XIII for awhile now but they decided to put it at the back of the arcade while everyone was playing SSFIV AE at the front but I decided to give XIII a shot while playing with other people and... it's actually fun! My interest in KOF is back although I'm not so sure how long it'll last because most people STILL play 98 or have moved to SSFIV AE.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
by the time they even bother with a console port, it'll be too late and everyone will have moved on to other fighting games and kofxiii will end up even more niche than it already was
in fact they'll probably have blazblue 3 on the way, ANOTHER update to ssf4, SUPER mvc3, arcana heart 4, random doujin fighter #95083140, etc, before snk even thinks "hey don't you think it's about time kofxiii was on consoles"

everything must come to an end. You should cheer up by watching my 2002um LIVE match videos! Fun fun fun! KOF will never die as long you keep playing!

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
Yeah, i actually haven't played KOF in a good while. Really used to cheer me up a good bit, could be that. Will watch some videos ;)
...Still it's not even a proper end, which could have its dignity and power. The uncertainty annoys the hell out of me.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
According to the Professor, only 1 out 5 of the main Tokyo arcades have the game now. This stems from the fact that pretty much every old Taito X2 cabinet got discarded and switched to a nesca live compatible one and KoF XIII is not available on nesca. I doubt that SNK is gonna do something amazing such as having a version 1.5 with extra features released for the nesca, but we can only hope.
edit : I miss typed the quantity of arcades that have the game, so *whoops*

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
All of this grim news for SNKP is making me a very sad panda. I'm very much hoping that SNKP will be able to make a Nesica-compatible KOFXIII, because if that works, that might give them the courage to port KOF XIII to consoles. If not, then KOF will die, SNK will fall to sh*t, and we won't see another KOF game until I become a game developer and get permission to use any and all KOF fighting game (not pachinko) licenses and make the single greatest KOF game in existence.
Until then, I won't be able to play KOF XIII until I go to Japan in July, assuming that they haven't completely removed the game from arcades. Considering that the chances of KOF XIII making it to Australia are depressingly low.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
If you haven't heard already, french player frionel, who actually used to post here, has leaked a little more information about xiii. He was the source of the last bit of info that hokuto mentioned in our interview. I didn't mention frionel's name to make sure he didn't get in trouble with his source. Anyway, he's in the open now, with an interview (check front page). Translation coming soon here.

Re: KOF XIII General Discussion/Rant Thread
Don't know if you can take this with a grain or a boatload of salt (or more), but as according to this link from the Chinese online eBay-like site called Taobao, there's going to be KOF XIII for the PS3 soon (or it's out already)?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9076874496" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (everything's in Chinese)
One thing I noticed is the images' associated text (right click on image properties). It says: 《拳皇13》7月14日正式推出营运 which means KOF XIII will be out on July 14th. However, if I recall correctly, the arcade version's release date was also July 14th (countdown site as proof).
So if you ask me...take this as a rumor. Or a fake. We'll see by then.
