[Ninja Dom]

Nobody gonna ask?

Okay, I'll ask.

Isn't there a HUGE spelling mistake here??

Shouldn't it be 'BORN to Fight'? If not then what does 'Burn to Fight' mean?

[SAB CA]

Thanks for the BB lookin' out, Het_Nkik!

And Ninja Dom... Naa, this isn't Battleborn! "Burn to Fight" doesn't seem any more engrishy to me than JoJo's "Battle Tendency". I figure it's just a way to say "A raging desire to engage in combat!", in a way only the Japanese

Spoiler

(fanboys?)

would say.

My nitpick has always been how SNK games keep your win record by saying "Beat By __". It's like they're saying "You were smacked around by ___ people, but won!" It's so odd. But I'm glad they still keep at it, to this day, just like I'd be happy to see Samurai Shodown keep "VICTOLY!" on occasion at a match conclusion.

Looks good. A little disappointed how bland Joe looks and how bland his moves are. He is my main, so it's disappointing watching his moves having no major impact.

KoF has a bit of a history with characters with fire-based abilities in particular, and SNK has a bit of a history with getting English right in general.

 

[nephilimdj]

Why couldn't the LE come with a Angel figure

 

[klee123]

Day 1 for this.

Love me some KOF.

 

[Dragun619]

Is there any particular reason this isn't coming to Xbox One? Sony didn't have any part in it's development, did it?

Don't think Sony directly helped them, But it seems they do kept in touch, so.

 

[OmegaDL50]

I already had the standard edition pre-ordered on Amazon.

Will have no problems canceling my regular in place for the Premium instead.

Besides, Prime pre-order discount means it still fall within the $60+ price range of a regular full priced release anyways. So not a big deal.

Amazon is now taking orders.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Shouldn't it be 'BORN to Fight'?

No.

Spoiler

it should be "IT'S LIT"

 

[qcf x2]

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.

 

[frogg609]

Preordered the CE. I suck at KoF, but I love it.

 

[Fersis]

Any news about PS3 Stick support?

 

[Lucinice]

Are there any Canadian retailers selling this?

Pre-ordered one. Thanks!

 

[Menitta]

Totally gonna get this. I really want to get on the KOF train.

 

[Boke1879]

Got that premium edition for 50 bucks thanks to GCU and that pricing error.

 

[oneida]

Of course Mai would be on the cover.

that's kyo silly

 

[Shauni]

Is Mai naked on the cover?

On the soundtrack cover, you mean? No, she obviously has clothes on, even if the angle is maximum boobage show.

 

[Vaughngief]

It's up on Amazon.

That so, eh?

Pre-ordered me one, then.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Canceled my regular pre-order for the Premium.

Eh...I got a pay off a difference of $29, since I had Amazon card balance on the regular. Not a big deal. August can''t come sooner.

Now that No Man's Sky might possibly not be here before KOFXIV arrives, KOFXIV is the next game on my purchase list.

Well I still have The Witcher III Blood and Wine to look forward too as well. This year has been good in terms of gaming thus far.

I still have to complete the Nathan Drake Collection too, and I never even started Uncharted 4 yet too.

Whatever happens I'm totally covered for the next few months.

 

[Shauni]

The Prime pre-order discount brings it down to just over $70, if you have to pay tax in your region (like I do, bleh) or just over $63 if you don't.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Got it cause I need my bustah wolf but I suck at kof since SF is my main thing.

 

[oneida]

or take advantage of the BB price error and lock it in for $47.99 before taxes (after GCU) !

This?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-kin...tation-4/5260100.p?id=bb5260100&skuId=5260100

That's cool, I don't have GCU, but I guess it is actually cheaper than Amazon right even without it. Is BB good about honoring errors?

 

[Yekshemesh]

Its a full featured game at launch and count the roster.



You're getting your money's worth. And watch it in motion. It looks fine.

Gameplay looks KOF but it's got that early X360/PS3 look to it, where everyone looks like plastic dolls.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Got it.

Amazing CE. Was a no brainer purchase for me.

Can't wait.

 

[oneida]

yup!

 

[Shauni]

yup!

Very cool. If I activate GCU afterward, can I apply it to previous orders? Curious, because I'm toying with the idea of getting that.

 

[Koppai]

Thanks for the heads up, ordered it for my husband!

 

[oneida]

GCU is amazing
and probably? idk it's only wonky since it's a price error, otherwise I'd say definitely. might take some customer service talking.

I've thought about GCU for awhile and all, but the nearest Best Buy to me is 2 hours away. Why they don't just sell membership online, I don't know. I'd probably jumped in by now if they had

 

[Vlaphor]

Damn. I'd love to get the special edition for $48...but I'd rather get it on PC (which would be more surprising if they didn't eventually announce a PC release at this point). I really wish more companies were willing to do physical special edition PC releases.

Thanks for this. I just cancelled my Gamestop preorder that I put in back when they said they would have a preorder only steel case. Now I've got a paid for preorder of Premium Edition from Amazon with all them goodies. Neat thing is it came in at $67 with my prime savings

EDIT: If there is an edition with a stick I WILL OWN IT.

They sorta do, now - you can add a GCU membership card to your online order and it'll take 20% off your cart, although you'll still need to go in to a store to activate it at some point.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Thanks for the heads up on BestBuy!

(^_____^)

 

[dreamlongdead]

Nice collector's package.

PS4 practically has all the fighting games.

 

[Zetta]

To be on the safe side I got mine off of Amazon with prime, now the wait begins.....

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Cool...wish they'd had this sort of thing back in the SNK/Shinkiro days.

But it's hitting the same week as Deus Ex...that probably needs to come first.

 

[Boke1879]

Nice collector's package.

Yup. PS4 has pretty much made sure it's the home of fighting games.

 

[oneida]

bestbuy already charged me?

 

[Sayad]

Okay, I'll ask.

Isn't there a HUGE spelling mistake here??

Shouldn't it be 'BORN to Fight'? If not then what does 'Burn to Fight' mean?

Nope, it's 90s Japanese Engrish and it's awesome.

 

[Grim Patron]

bestbuy already charged me?

Yea they started doing this often. My friend preorders for me and he got charged for Splatoon amiibos already. Earlier it was charged now if PayPal and later if credit card. Now credit card aslo is charged early.

 

[kunonabi]

bestbuy already charged me?

The charge should go away in like a week and then they charge for real when it ships.
