Some video of the game that's not actually competetive play. Shows some menus and stuff from the console version, as well as Mature and Elizabeth of course.

I wish there's an option to change the background color of the sprites in the dot art page. I couldn't make the Kim and Ralf ones. *goro

Now in English.

I like how they claim that the new sprites are drawn at 'quadruple the resolution' when their own sprite gallery proves otherwise.

Maybe it's quadruple the resolution of a Metal Slug sprite lol

Well I guess they're sort of right, in that the display area these sprites are meant to be displayed at (720x480 widescreen) is just over four times what the old sprites were displayed at (320x224). Of course people are going to think purely in terms of horizontal resolution and think 'ZOMG 720P!' instead...

Yup, but sadly, the worst has happened (there is terrible lag when playing online). As I read this from other sites.

I heard somewhere that Ignition will release a patch for this game.

Honestly, I don't have one, but that is what I heard from other sites.

Ohh, yes, SNKP will be in hot water in this one.

Looks like there will be a patch on Tuesday (which, interestingly, is the actual release date).

Some people seem to be saying that there's slowdown even in offline mode. GJ SNK 10/10

This makes me a sad, sad penguin.

By the way, does the majority of the people here have a PS3?

Found this on Fighters Generation of all things:

It suggests that there will be three additional characters. Not sure if they're unlockable or will be made available as DLC...

And no, Elisabeth and Mature aren't included - they're further up on the list.

I hate to be the negative one here considering I am excited about the game, but I don't think there will be 3 more characters. Since there are 5 characters per page, I'm guessing that the three empty slots are just there to fill out the page.

Copy came in today. I like the feel, though it is different than before. It takes some getting used to corner CD combo rape madness. It is definitely a no frills title with little to do other than arcade and versus. A survival or challenge mode would have been nice, but we all know this was a title that was put out with little time put into any polishing outside of graphics and balance. Basically, what is there is good, but it's weird not having a boss, etc. Because of this the game relies heavily on the people you can get to play with you. Which brings me to the online, which I haven't tried yet. I like the game, but I have to admit at $60 it does feel like an investment in KoF XIII more than anything. I hope the DLC is worthwhile, more than just colors or something. If it is characters it is understandable, considering Liz and Mature being added to the console version it seems like some characters were just not done in time for the deadline, unlike other games where the characters are already on the disk.
