Apparently, worldwide release date is July 28th 2009!
I have a feeling the PAL release will be later though, August something :(

Apparently this was confirmed way back in September or something, I must have missed it. Confirmed release for both 360 and PS3 - although no mention of a EU/PAL release at all so far (sucks for 360!)
Tentative release date is May 2009.
SO loooooong time.... :o :o :o probably release date same as da movie Terminator :Salvation Army same time lol
Sweet, I should be 'coming down' from my SFIV induced high right about then... its a good time to be a fighting fan!
More updatage, July release this time (worldwide though apparently!)

Kick. Some. Ass.
Additionally, about 3/4 of the way in, Chin is REALLY going to town on Clark's crotch.
:o :o :o :o clark's been pumping iron

Great news. Can't wait to try it out. Hopefully the arcade version will be in Yifans around April as that's apparently the arcade release date/month.
beta be not April fool...................
Any1 have a clue where I can buy the game? I can't find anywhere that has it on the 16th or did dates change?
I think it has been delayed
The game broke street date last night, which is technically false because it wouldn't have had a street date unless it was called HALO or something. But anyway, a fair few homes in the US have it now, courtesy of GameStop.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!
Supports 1080p! Wooo!
Loading times! Wooo!
Shitty netplay! Wooo! (So far, it hasn't even been out a day yet, wait for proper release date to make sure)
Other gaming sites still list it as July 28th! My pre-order is still sitting there!

Netplays got me worried. Looks helluva fun though. Maybe I'll rent before buying. I'll hit you up online for some games crusty netplay and all if I get my hands on a copy.
getting mixed reports now, some people are loving the netplay, but it's about 40% so far, should be a day1 patch anyway
cool , let you know what its like online later tommorow
Wait until after the 28th, the game should get a patch, it's not even technically out yet.
People are however, noting that the game feels really good, which is a plus.
shit net code.
wtb> street hoop, magical drop 3, garou and bubble bobble with good online netcode. go.
Yeah, lets all jump on the bandwagon before it's departed from the station!
New servers are being implemented tomorrow along with updates for the games when they're officially released.
I took my copy over to lennys this weekend .
I really really like it , need to spend some more time with it but it looks good and its a nice change from SF4 .
Yay KOF12 :)

Euan's gone to the dark side :(
Oho, someone else in NZ has it ?
Awesome :D
I've been playing it with my friends, everyone is really keen on getting into the game properly, I'm so happy
I can't remember when I last saw so many negative reviews / hate for a fighting game.
But glad to see you guys enjoying it - maybe it is worth a closer look.
I did see B1ackstar's copy running in the weekend & looked like fun, though it will take a lot to drag me off BB :)
There are some bad points, but if you get it for a pure VS fighter, you're going to enjoy it for a long LOOOONG time.
Unless you want to play online, which they're having an announcement for this week regarding a new patch. (They're testing new netplay atm)
Thats actually cool of them doing that. Usually once the game is out and it plays online then that would be all they gave a shit about.
Im actually really enjoying this. They have made it nice and simple.
One thing that always detterred me from KOF is having to learn a whole team, and normally your average KOF dude has multiple specials normals and other stuff to learn. Its heaops easier this time round as all the characters are nice and simple.
Also the redone graphics are AWESOME!!! I fucking love the new Clarke and Ralf. When Clarke does the Argentine Back Breaker I pee my pants just a little bit.

Yo Lenny, got a team yet? I'm really digging Leona/Mature/Random, Mature is a BEAST.
Yup. Raiden, Goro, Ralf/Clarke. Team Fatties!!!
Im diggin ralf a bit more than clarke atm. Hes got a bit more comboability, but i keep playing clarke cause argentine backbreaker makes me moist in my happy spot.

Dammit you're making me regret not ordering a copy yesterday. Well now I'm going to have to order a copy so that it turns up at my work on Monday.
I doubt it bothers anyone, but Arcadia tier list:
S Rank: Kyo, Iori
A Rank: Terry, Andy, Joe, Shen Woo, Kensou, Ralf, Kim, Ryo
B Rank: Robert, Ash, Chin, Raiden, Daimon
C Rank: Benimaru, Duo-lon, Leona, Athena
D Rank: Clark
Was thinking about using Joe/Duo/Clark, but i dunno, Joe might be a little high for me. :P
If only I could have a team of 3 Clarks ;D
The game is pretty balanced even with that tier list

Yeah. Clarke is low tier, but he can still drop a quarter of your life bar from a crouching light kick.
Today marks the first of many KoFXII sessions at OLDBOY gaming den in Wellington, may move the days to Tuesday after this.
Anyone in Wellington interested, the fun starts at 20:00, I have enough credit to last until/past midnight.
I've already got a handful of people coming, I'd like it if people came down even just to get a taste of the awesome-fun gameplay.
GONNA START ME A SCENE YO.

Demo on Japanese PSN!
Only Kyo and Terry 1p vs computer. Edit, actually 2player not bad ;D
I was presently surprised to find it. I gotta have a look for a tutorial regarding the new system.
Only 85MB download. Makes me wonder why the load time is so long.
Load time shouldn't be long if it's running off the HDD... may be a demo problem
