KOF XIII trailer is a combo of combos
Atlus is showing off its North American release of King of Fighters XIII with the above trailer, which strings together combo after combo, of varying styles and intensities. If you like seeing well-drawn cartoon characters being hit several times in succession, you came to the right place.
In a press release accompanying the trailer, Atlus confirmed an October 2011 release date, and that the North American version would share Japan's recently announced console-exclusive Billy Kane character. He's been away since KOF 2003! Well, he was in KOF Maximum Impact 2, but that only kind of counts.%Gallery-128136%
