The King Of Fighters XIII Uses GameSyncSoftwares Netcode

The King of Fighters XIII’s online mode uses GameSyncSoftwares (aka GSS) netcode from F.I.N.E. (short for Future Interactive Network Entertainment) as its backbone.

SNK Playmore has been working with F.I.N.E. since the PlayStation 2 days. The online enabled NeoGeo titles use GSS. The King of Fighters XII used GSS netcode as well, but SNK used different code for Samurai Shodown Sen. Since The King of Fighters XIII is not out yet, it’s too early to assess the netcode.

The King of Fighters XIII comes out in North America next week and first print copies come with all a four disc "King of Soundtracks" music collection.
