I thought KoF was the 28? At least that's what it says in the system at work.

TWISTED PIXEL LETS DOWN PRESIDENT, COUNTRY WITH WEDNESDAY SPLOSION MAN RELEASE
Thanks Obama For Slamming Video Games Right Before Our Release Date

AUSTIN, TX – July 21, 2009 – Twisted Pixel Games was thrilled to hear President Obama’s directive for parents to start “putting away the Xbox,” an announcement made right on the eve of Splosion Man’s release. That’s cool. We weren’t excited to be kicking off the Summer of Arcade or that early reviews have been so positive about our game, or that it is practically a steal at 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00 USD). Go ahead and tell people not to play games. But answer me one thing, Mr. President: If not us, who is going to teach our nation’s kids the unimportance of spelling or about how scientists will turn into slabs of meat when you splode them?

Splosion Man doesn’t just lure families apart with its 50 level single player campaign and separate 50 level 2-4 player multiplayer campaign, it also dangles several treasures sure to corrupt even the most tight-knit household. A free unlockable premium theme headlines a package containing two free gamerpics and, perhaps most troubling, hidden within its codey depths, the ability to grant two male and two female free avatar accessories once the functionality becomes available on Xbox Live.

The den of evil that is www.splosionman.com contains further temptation, offering downloadable faceplate templates, desktop backgrounds, and the entire musical score from award-winning composers John DeBorde and Joshua R. Mosley. The siren call of each piece is divided into several layers, which react dynamically during gameplay, offering much more stimulation and interest than homework or family time ever could.

Official PR for Splosion Man. God bless America.

i too thought KOF was the 28th too, but i talked to the guy at gamestop and he said according to their computer they would have it this friday. ymmv obviously, but its worth a call anyway.

slash000

Eh fuck it i'll put KOF XII in the OP, and if it comes out next week, well, then I'll have to remind people again!

PikaPuff

Well, Gamestop says it ships on the 23rd, and according to Hasting's email it's a soft release date, so we're supposed to put it out whenever we get it. So it's possible that it could come out this week.

yea i mean KOF12 isnt suffering from overexposure thats for sure. nothing wrong with a friendly kick in the ass.

El Fantastico

Fuck you Disney for mass-producing your drek across all possible platforms. I hope Little King Story outsells your ass on one platform than all of yours combined, even though I don't particularly care for that game either.

Here's hoping KoFXII does well, however. I've been a big fan of the KoF franchise and it'll be interesting to see how well it does compared to Blazblue and it's 3 week headstart.

Ah_Pook

well its really down to the net code for KOF. im not buying it until i hear that its solid, and i wouldnt be surprised if other people follow suit. especially after how bad ive read it was on their recent xbla ports.

Lunker

Part of me really, really wants Little King Story, but I'm going to have to hold off; the only game I'm picking up with cash in the next few months is Wii Sports Resort, and some XBLA downloads since I still have some credited points on my account. Having to save up for grad school sucks.

Hey, nice hotlinking on the Wii part

So buying KOF once it comes out

Zell

Wipeout HD Fury is going to be released this week and everyone should buy it.

It is? Forget anything else, that gets the money first

Fig-D

Well, if KOF comes out this week then that'll give people a weekend to try out the netcode and tell me if its any good.

Capitalizing on the success of BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, Aksys also plan to rock the DS with their newest game offering of high octane metal.

slash000

wtf

is that

Rehab

I think that was one of the seven seals.

Have to say, I'm pretty stoked for Wii Sports Resort next week. I thought it was this week but it looks to be a Sunday release with what Best Buy has. Hmm, Crystal Chronicles? That could be cool.
