Amazon is now taking orders.
Yup, I preordered on BB for $60 and Amazon for $80 just in case the first one falls through. Anybody on the fence about the limited edition should google SNK's artwork over the years and see what you can expect in a 144 page art book. No brainer of a purchase for me.
Also I know when the official thread drops it will pitch the game, but anybody even remotely interested in fighters should give this a shot. Do you hate having to only play against online warriors? There's plenty of offline modes and content (story, mission, gallery, tutorial). Do you hate not being able to learn from an online friend without the health bar, time and wins/losses being a factor? There's online training mode where you can spar with each other with no pressure. Do you hate small rosters? 50+ characters right out of the box. Do you hate that you suck at fighting games and wish they were easier? There's an easy operation mode where pressing square repeatedly will give you a combo. Like playing with multiple friends without having to wait forever? Party battle lets you team up against each other. Hate having to use triggers and shit? KoF is historically a 4 button game.
Etc... as long as the online is solid the package is a steal, whether you go for the limited or the standard edition. It doesn't play like Street Fighter, but KoF is awesome in its own unique way.
