In Ireland, sure.

Rest of Europe will be another story.

I seriously question your definition of "interesting"

This must be what it feels like to listen to our tournament commentary when you're not in on any of the in-jokes...

From a youTube search, dead man apparently was a no.1 KOF troll on GGPO.

Why? I know its the same in the US too, no one is stocking it.

the 1st hardter

So where is stocking it???

I'm was planning on picking it up on the way home. Guess I'm in for disappointment

UberPrinny_Baal

Anyone done any price checking on the places that DO stock this?

I'm sure if SNK had their way, every store in every country would stock 20 or 30 copies of the game.

It's probably more a case of retailers declining to stock what is (unfortunately) not a very strong brand.

Also Vesperarcade has started uploading KOF13 trials to Youtube, along with an opinon:

If the scale was 1 out 10 in difficulty

UMVC3 - 5
Blazblue - 9
KOF 13 - 10

Its not down to snk though its down to the publisher. Atlus is the publisher and they dont seem to give a ****.

Yeah it a real tech intensive game. With 5 different types of jumps (Neutral, Normal, Super, Hop, Big Hop) all being the same commands with milli seconds in the difference it can get pretty rough for new comers.

It's not that simple.

How many copies of the game the publisher print is largely influenced by demand from retailers, which is discussed at a head office level well in advance of launch.

If everyone except GAME has said to Atlus "Screw that noise, we're not stocking your stupid KOF", it's absolutely the correct business move by Atlus to not send a lot of copies to market for launch.

If KOF13 is unexpectedly and massively popular, they can always order a second print run to sate demand; but they'll probably get massively burned if they put the number of initial copies on the market you seem to be expecting.

Great doubt game in Tallaght will have sold out by the time I get home

Naphiel

Game in Henry Street didn't stock it but the game near Trinity got a small few. Pretty sure they only had 2 PS3 copies, which are now gone thanks to me and Joe.

the 1st hardter

Dam that sucks. Meh I can order it in anyway and go off KOF 98 for casuals. And look up shoruyken for combos ;P

Rising Star Games are publishing it in Europe, they're a small publisher who have published Cave's shmups here recently which people have also found difficult to find in physical shops.

Blazblue a 9 O___o kof a 10, I got this
3rd strike a 5, this must be wrong.

I got my copy of kof in game on dawson street. But I got the last ps3 copy, not sure about xbox.

Scavenger XIII

Pre-order hasn't arrived at work, so I won't have it 'til monday at the earliest. :mad:

5 minutes into the tutorial and I'm annoyed we didn't get the CDs with it.
It's really good, but I'm finding it hard to settle with a button layout that I like.

the 1st hardter

Yeah KOF really comes down to player choice really. I think I will like

ab
cd

or

ac
bd

Will know when I sit down with it

also Desk has a really good reason for the 10/10 for trials in his video

I don't think Vesperarcade (the video you linked) and Desk are the same person.

Oh my bad. I assumed

Scavenger XIII

The 2 generally accepted layouts are:

ac
bd

+

bcd
a

Anything else is crazy talk. :pac:

K.O.Kiki

So I guess the KoF XIII physical stock issue shows just how little game retailers care about niche titles.

To hell with them so.
Online is the new king.

the 1st hardter

Game in dundrum had 5 copies of each console this morning. No xbox left.....they called the square and they said they had 2 left. Whats the odds its gone when I get there???

chopperbyrne

Damn it. I couldn't remember if it was today or next week it was out. Was in Game earlier today and all!

is a=lp b=hp c=lk d=hk

cause I'm not liking the
ac
bd

I would prefer the

bcd
a

only prob is it to do certain super you need to hit ac which would be awkward.

Scavenger XIII

a = lp
b = lk
c = hp
d = hk

cheers, hmmm some super you need to hit lp/hp or lk/hk

which can be a bit awkward. but cool might try this set up.

Naphiel

So far I'm just using

LP HP
LK HK PA

Running into no problems but I'm not too sure about it. Might try something else.

the 1st hardter

I'm being forced to get this online....where is cheapest???
