Any word on King of Fighters 12 for Europe yet?

Not UK listed sites. Apparently there’s a few in Europe (France/Italy) but I dunno. All the major online retailers here (Play.com/GAME/GameStation/Amazon) don’t list squat.

Been up for preorder a few days on Game.co.uk :stuck_out_tongue:

(Didn’t come up in search though when i last checked, which may be why you couldn’t find it)

bloody hell!
40 a bit of a ball buster. sf4 was only 30 brand new.
good that it is listed in uk at last but i think i’d be better off waiting till release and shopping round the super markets.
moggies is a good one for 360 games.

ignitions european website has a KOF countdown ending on the 28th august, and a few places are offering preorders (game, hmv), although they are quite high at 40 as mentioned… :frowning:

for anyone who wants to buy an import, just go to eBay, that’s where i got my copy of blazblue. Although I havent bought KOF yet, people have been offering it since its american release date.

The problem with imports is DLC, if and when it happens…

Yeah it’s coming late August, already preordered.

While the price is high in most countries, it’s probably the cheapest decent game in Australia for a damn long time, it’s still probably $20 more than it should be, but it’s a start.

It seems the regular price to me, EBgames is selling it for $90 or $120 depending on the Standard or Limited editions, which is the same as most other games I think,

The cheapest I’ve seen a good game go for on release is $100 since the PS2 days.
Most of the hyped games go for $110-$120 now.

been pushed back to end of september now!!!

i’ll be too old to remember what an arcade stick is by the time we get this over here.:sad:

Confirmed :frowning:

Got my email today saying that it’s now the 25th of September before we get our hands on it. Anyone got any news as to why it’s actually pushed back again?

I’m reasonably certain the netcode patch has something to do with this. Ignition aren’t taking any chances with this.

I’m from Portugal i figured i couldn’t hold out for the European realease so i went ahead and bought the American Version and been rocking it since Monday.

Also this past weekend i went to 2 Local gamestores here and saw the French version of the game on the racks(for ps3), so i advise ppl to check out stores and stuff… maybe some more stores have it allready.

Tbh not sure what is going on with this last push back to September, maybe it’s just for ppl not to return the game cause of the shitty netcode, making it more late improves the chances of them having it fixed by then.

well its doubly stupid because tekken6 come out then aswell i think.

2 fighting games at same release time.

It’s called PAL: nobody wants to fuck with it, but they want that money, so they just postpone the chore of PAL encoding. They know eventually they have to do it, just…not right now. That’s why Euro releases are always WAY behind.

i want somebodies balls for this.

G3nshir0’s not using his. You’re quite welcome to them.

Fucking hell, I thought the delay from July to August was bad enough, now I was expecting to finally get this game next thursday and it’s been delayed by another month?

Damn, thats frustrating…

Oh well, more reason for me to visit that arcade that I haven’t been to in ages with the KOFXII machine I guess. I hope there are still people playing this online by the time it gets to Australia.

So Kof XII is really not coming out today? Man… I was shocked, I was so excited about this game this sucks balls man…

I own a Xbox 360 and I live in germany so I have to wait a month again.
I hate SNK for it… -.-

I want that game now and not in a month.

Ive just found out right now, while debating whether or not I should go and get it today…

Ignition had a countdown to today that says ‘out now!’, but when I looked for prices online, no shops had it in stock, and the GAME website says 25/09 like others have mentioned.

It seems like this whole KOF rebirth thing has just become a farce now, maybe they cant be bothered with a PAL release because of poor sales.

I don’t blame ignition, but once again I find myself laughing/disgusted at SNK’s piss poor attempt at acting like a games company.

Even if it was out I wouldnt buy it until I see what the upcoming patch does. So the delay isnt really bothering me.

well since online isnt the only way to play and i at least need to practice, this being my first kof game, the delay is a big ol’ bitch for me.
