I'm actually a game programmer who presently works in the industry, just so that you know.

I'm really not bothered by it. Get bored of the game, pay 10 dollars for a couple new characters. For a series like KoF, I think it's the most logical route. It's much better than paying 60 dollars for a few new backgrounds and reshuffle of characters. I really don't see why you guys would be against that.

Now if we're talking about the PS3 only Clan mode, or if this was about the 360 getting Mature and PS3 getting Elizabeth, yeah THAT would be reasonable for complaints.

I agree, and in fighting games it is worse since the addition of a character to the game if done wrong could effectively throw the entire game off balance.

Now that I think about it though, this should have been more obvious from the start. There is no way that SNK would leave out Mai unless they planned on using her in this manner. There are posters, books, and statues of her with her tits hanging to her knees than any other character in the KOF line. It would be like a Disney fighting game having every character except Mickey Mouse. In many ways she is the face of the series. Mark my words, $10 for Mai. Somebody has to pay for her implants.

I’d rather play Samurai Shodown online.

My only hope to see Angel return to the stage.

I think DLC is a great idea! I'm all for SNK on this one, I hope they do add characters you can download.

I cant wait for Blazblue though! Its going to be just as good if not better.

I'm with you, Q. DLC is effectively killing my enthusiasm for most of my old favorites. Soulcalbur IV is still fresh in my mind so it looks like KoF XII is joining it on the shelf… in my mind.

Hopefully SNK Playmore will survive lon enough to make XIII

Now I'm 100% certain on not purchasing this…

Banzai for BlazBlue!
