And isn't there a thread for live streams over there?

Yeah, I just figure I would post this news in the news thread because of a tournament announcement.

I confirm it being on the android market, since I sold my iphone to buy a galaxy note. I don't know yet if I'll buy it again. if they support external controls, it would be awesome to play this with a sony xperia play or bluetooth pad

KOF XIII: Climax release date revealed.

The release date for KOF XIII Climax has been set, according to Japanese arcade industry news blog “Aketan”. The initial release on April 26 will be a PCB bundle, followed by June with an HDD-only kit. The production will be limited to 200 units.

An early leak of the news was made by KOF XIII Tougeki/SBO2010 winner “Oeppu”, in which he revealed that the units will be sold at 390,000 yen and 250,000 yen, respectively.

What will the future hold for KOF XIII Console? We will just have to wait and see in the coming weeks I guess...

Mikel it seems pointless to think what'll happen to the console version as it stands it doesn't seem like this will kill or make the console version seem out-of-date. Climax still looks like just an adapted version of the console game for the arcades, there hasn't been any news to prove otherwise.

[Running Wild]

There are a few small fixes in Climax, mostly bug fixes.

[Eddie]

Nothing they couldn't do for the console version either I suppose.

Im still happy they made a game that doesnt need pointless DLC updates
