King of Fighters XIII

The game is looking damn awesome, this is probably going to be my favourite game on next gen overtaking Blazblue and TvC when it is released, cannot wait:

The King of Fighters XIII is the upcoming thirteenth installment of The King of Fighters series published by SNK Playmore. There was an official preview of the game that was held on March 25, 2010 at Akihabara. The game will also be the conclusion of Ash Crimson's story arc which started in The King of Fighters 2003.

The game removes some of the gameplay systems used in the previous game; the Guard attack system, the Critical Counter system, the Clash System as well as the dynamic, zooming camera. In their place however, there are new systems that have been confirmed to be added, the first of the three is the new EX Mode, which convert each characters' super moves into more powerful versions that allows one bar from the player's power gauge for EX Special Moves and two bars from the player's power gauge for EX Desperation Moves. Another new addition is Hyper Drive mode, which gives the player unlimited use of Drive Cancels for a while once the Hyper Drive Gauge has been maxed, and the last new feature confirmed for the game is the Drive Cancel system, which opens up new combo possibilities. The game also marks the return of the multi-bar power gauge that was introduced in The King of Fighters '97. In addition to standard and EX Desperation Moves, a new class of Desperation Move entitled "NEO MAX" are included in the game and require that three stocks of gauge be exchanged in order to perform one. These can also be canceled from standard Desperation Moves, making them similar to the "Dream Cancels" from The King of Fighters XI

It's also by far the best looking fighter to date, the sprites are amazing.

This looks awesome so glad they bring back the KOF characters including Mai and Yuri. Hope this one is better than KOFXII.

Its also nic to see the proper power gauge has returned as well.

Looks much more promising.

Nothing wrong with XII, it's a great title with awesome gameplay it's just an unfinished title. It's also a great addition to get new players interested in KOF since it isn't really that popular in the west.

Looks like the Loketest starts tomorrow which has all the characters, looking forward to that
