The King Of Fighters XIII Global Match Gets A New Trailer Ahead Of Launch

I like the game, but it's roster is... Disappointing and boring, to say the least. One of the worst rosters in the mainline games series.
Edit: Dream Match games(excluding abysmal KOF XII), 2003, and XI had the best rosters of playable characters in the series.

I don't think I'll buy it (got way too many fighting games on Steam I yet need to try thanks to a few Humble Bundle deals in recent times), but any developer putting rollback netcode in their Switch releases gets nothing but mad respect from me! ^_^

Just waiting at the gate. Let me in!

I am a bit of a sucker for some well animated 2D spritework, do want to grab this at some point and get more use out of my 8Bitdo arcade stick

Just waiting for my physical copy from Pix'N Love.

@Magician Yeh, ditto - I think I owe you a 'Thank you' actually for giving me the heads up about it in some thread or another.

@gcunit No problem, my friend.

If it runs well, I’ll pick it up. Then I’ll see how my Mayflash adapter holds up on the combo trials.

@PtM who SNK is owned by has no relevance to the game. And he’s not going to lose money just because you don’t buy the game.

It’s like refusing to give a millionaire a penny because you don’t want them to become richer. I don’t think they care.

I’ll have to see how much it costs first before deciding to buy it. I had it on XBOX 360 and sold it but I am willing to buy it again on switch provided it’s an appropriate cost.

One of the best in the series. I still have this on 360 but I still might get on Switch.

This game is so advanced. I play on Steam. Its one of the best King of Fighters ever. I think only 2002 Unlimited - steam version and 98 Final Edition - Steam version, are better than XIII.

But playing it on Switch controller must be so difficult. The level of precision in commands here is relentless.

I have a joycom with dpad from Hori that works very well in games like persona 4 Ultimax, Chaos Code, Dragonball FighterZ, and others...so...it's possible that I buy this game for Switch too. For Steam I just have KOF XIII (one of the most difficult games to get 100% of achievements)

Great game
If There is a cartridge version let me at it 😁

They could had easily release a KOF Collection that includes KOF99-XII, I would buy that too. We already got the Orochi Saga collection which had KOF94-98 for the Wii and PS2, we need the NESTS Saga too.

@Rykdrew KOF XI is better than KOF XIII too!

@JohnnyMind Well... I can recommend you to start with classic NEO•GEO SNK fighting games. However, they are quite hard. Or, you can try and play anime fighting games, instead. They are a lot easier than classic SNK and CAPCOM fighting games.

@Serpenterror ACA NEOGEO. And, they are lazy or don't have enough money and/or experience to port Atomiswave games... But, I want a KOF XI port based on PS2 version, not Atomiswave(original) one. Amount of playable characters and game modes matters to me. There are no significant graphics differences between Atomiswave and PS2 versions, as far as I know. So, PS2 version is the one worth porting.

The last great KoF with excellent sprites. Will definitely grab.

“ We already got the Orochi Saga collection which had KOF94-98 for the Wii and PS2,”

Those were terrible rough ports though. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. I much prefer the NeoGeo games on Switch.

“ playing it on Switch controller must be so difficult. The level of precision in commands here is relentless.”

Yes it was. I never use joypads to play fighting games on Switch. I do love my 8BitDo SF controller though.

First İ thought this is a 1 April joke this game but it is true. Now İ believe. This is a really good fighting game.

"SNK has also previously confirmed physical ... editions." Then you shall have my money!!

@Vyacheslav333
I kinda like the cast though. Very classic and straightforward. To me it really stays true to a classic snk aesthetic. I mean this is what I like about snk when compared to capcom designs for example. Just simple, plain not too over the top fighters with tons of classic character designs, practically no weapons, lots of martial art references. Love it. And XIII was very much a return to classic in a lot of ways so it fits that game too.

ill always love fighting games in theory, but i cant get anyone to play with me IRL and playing online is so depressing to me for some reason.

so glad this series lives on! and its remained way more interesting to me than my original love, Street Fighter.

auto combo with Few move set please, not really wanna spent time on some imposible Timing input

Been a fan of this series since the '98 Dream Match on the PSX. I hope this runs with no hitches on the Switch. BlazBlue CentralFiction needs a friend on my system.
