The King of Fighters XIII: The King of Soundtracks Official Unboxing

[sniperclown]

thats persona 4 kuma :D

[AloofBox]

Whoa! Quality is important to Atlus.

[FantasticFranco]

2002 soundtrack was the BEST

[Perion]

@FantasticFranco Unlimited Match yes, original 2002 soundtrack was the worst.

[OutrageTH]

I didnt preorder the game and i still got this 4-disc soundtrack :3

[slipknotemo123]

he should have used Kumas persona to open it lol.

[MrAlonzoHill]

im playing the demo its fucking AWSOME!!!!!

[somemadcaaant]

What what what Aram didn't smell the rich full colour bi-lingual manual?! What gives?

[VikingPhobos]

I got that music for free without preorder!

[TheSteadyingMeat]

Why do they always unbox the 360 version? Ah, whatever.

[DarknessMadeFlesh]

awesome good thing i pre-order the game. i love the soundtrack!!

[waverazor]

i dont regret the pre order! fuckin rad soundtrack!!

[klyzTV]

silky smooth online gameplay? maybe compared to kof12 or if your very close to the other person >.> . but progres is progress i guess

[MelficeVKM]

Loving this compilation, but my Cd's don't have any track info on them, and it can't obtain them on iTunes, WMP or PS3. I have the EU version so no track listing on the box either!

Does anyone know where I can get the track info from? Thanks

[Darkrai002813]

Pre-order bonus? I got it a Toys'R;Us and it had it included. None-the-less Atlus, Thank you.

[picoaga]

IM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS "KING OF SOUNTRACKS" THERE'S ONLY 6 SONGS FOR KOF'99 '00 '03 and 5 FOR KOF '01 '02

COULDNT FIND ZERO's nor CLONE ZERO's TRACKS ANYWHERE!!!!

NOT HAPPY FOR THIS!

[VirtuaFighter5R]

THANK YOU atlus for making the US version codefree!!

i imported it cause the european OST bonus is crap.

[airgilbert]

@VirtuaFighter5R It's the same thing...

apart from EU getting extra stuff

[VirtuaFighter5R]

@airgilbert wrong...

the EU OST got an very ugly package....

[LioYony]

LOL TEDDIE FROM PERSONA 4 ROFL xD 

[kermit1986]

The UK Boxart for the CD is hella lame in comparison to the US one. Annoyingly theres no track listing on the box art for the UK one, nor is there the cool collage of artwork and such inside. Heck...it's not even called "The King of Soundtracks" in the UK, just KOF XIII 4 CD compilation :P

[eltoneoc77y]

i got the one for ps3... it looks great but it has a different set from the xbox360 though

[IkariAin]

if i buy today from amazon, do i get the King of Sountracks compilation?

[popo237]

Smooth, Silky Online play? Not as of today. I played two matches today one Ranked and one Player, and they both had at least 2-3 second lag. Unfortunately that stopped me from playing it for awhile, popped in the coaster that is MVC3. After awhile I decided to play it again for Color Edit, but that seems lacking too. They need to add more colors to it.

[LoryuoFSE]

@popo237 the more you use characters, the more colors you get. =)

[enditend]

anyone can give me a link to the EU version?

[gsusgazetto]

i used my fingers using iori's techniques to open the dawm boxxxx



[AzureDarkGod]

I bet Aram just picked up some random things laying in his office and went "Hey, I can use this to create a comedic moment of epic proportions!" Well, it worked, mister Jabbari, it worked.

[SephirothXAllen]

*--------------* full ost!!! wow

[takeaimnfire]

Thanks for only charging 50 bucks too. I don't know why you did, but I sure as hell appreciate the 10 dollar discount. I almost feel as though I'm ripping you off. Specially with the whole arcade version PC leak thing. :/ Obviously much better men than the guys at crapcom.

[popo237]

@takeaimnfire How? They sell their fighting games at $40.

[takeaimnfire]

@popo237 Only re-releases of the same games they already released for 60...

[popo237]

@takeaimnfire Exactly, like KOF12(new$60 now $40) to KOF13(new$50).

[takeaimnfire]

@popo237 this is in no way a re-release. completely different, and much better game. the fighting engine is completely different.

[popo237]

@takeaimnfire Same thing can be said about Capcom.

[takeaimnfire]

Just picked up my pre-order a couple hours ago. The soundtracks are awesome, but imo this game has the best soundtrack yet. So fucking good. Thank you SNK for making this game soooo good!

[wolfexlx]

I got the game yesterday and opened up the 4-disc soundtrack and saw that it only had 3 disc, has anyone else had this problem

[AngelOfGeass]

@wolfexlx Which one is the dics that you dont have?

[wolfexlx]

@AngelOfGeass disc 4

[SilentStalkerX]

.....Mad Fantasy comes from KoF 99...not. >_> It's from 98

[vegeta353658]

Wait, so Flame Iori doesn't come with the pre-order?

[jmek08]

Siiiick. Definately getting the Tekken Tag 2 ost also, the sounds make a badass fighters compilation.

[picoaga]

wow wow just a sec, what exactly do you mean that i would NOT find my fav track on 4cd's; that's 50% of the reason why im buying this

[then3wbie1]

is that how you get game packages off???? I've always used a stapler -_-

[GabinRevolution]

I can use a teddy to open the game.

[pgh3424]

how come Iori DLC isn't included?

I heard Japanese version includes DLC when you pre-order....

[Yagami201]

kudae!, kurai igiarareeee!!!!! (take this, i burn with this!!!!)

[Riku2005]

AH YOU OKAY? BUSTA WOLF!

[Riku2005]

MY DICK IS READY

[StreetFighterJoe]

FIRST july next october and now november 22? enough for me! i just cancelled my PRE-ORDER!!! fuk snk and fuk atlus bye bye for ever

[Gamewitzer]

@StreetFighterJoe

Good riddance.

[vegeta353658]

@StreetFighterJoe Dude, you only had to wait 3 more days. You seriously couldn't wait 3 more days?!

[primeevil41]

I don't really care about the fighting game, but can I have the Teddy doll? =O

[Alysonbsp]

Please, show me the PS3 box also!!

thx!!

[Freeroamgamesftw]

@Alysonbsp why? it has the same box art as the xbox version.

[VikingPhobos]

@Freeroamgamesftw No it doesn't, PS3 doesn't have homo ash on the front cover.

[G9King]

Man, ATLUS sure knows how to hype his stuff.

[samuraispiritsx]

MY BODY IS READY

[Supahx]

Slow clap for 1:50-1:57

[defghui]

dang why is it delayed on amazon!

[1994silent]

i need it now i want it. I hear Terry caling.

[marcusuzumaki]

I look Teddy for Persona 4

[elkiller2002]

wow, siempre quize tener los soundtracks de kof en cds originales y junto a este juego es un sueño hecho realidad. grande KOF

[kadosho02]

Pre-ordered a few months ago. All set for next Tuesday! =D

[christopherxoxo]

oh shit, this comes with a game too!?

[martinithechobit]

ash crimson is so hot. no homo.

[dan10701]

why not go with the compress air!!??, that would have made the unboxing much more easier!!!!, although the teddy was a good choise to...

[lneh]

The netcode would have to be pretty bad for the gaming press to notice.

[TheRudeAmerican]

Hi! We get a spot on PSN and unbox the 360 version! Derrrrr! We're Atlus!

[Sol3Chris]

el rey ya xasi esta aqui

[theXXaftermath]

I punched a hole through my screen because I was trying to GIVE YOU "MAI" MONEY ALREADY!!!!

[Nightmare26]

ATLUS = LOVE

[BabelLafin]

El rey ya viene, ya puse alfombra roja en mi consola.

[Supertheeyes]

Jajaja tantas opciones para abrir el empaque, yo habría utilizado el robot.

Siiii !!! el Rey ya se ve cabalgando en el horizonte.

[DiegoRC4]

I need it!! but for PS3 :P

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

*drools*

[icegryphon]

IS THE NETCODE FIXED!?

[TheAngriestPumpkin]

@icegryphon

If you watched the movie you'd realize that he made note of the completely revamped netcode.

[ABXYFightLeague]

6.More.Days.



[GinkoArtEtc]

lol Did anyone else notice that Ohio is on the video link text?

[G0dspeed2000]

wtf Teddie?

[BielPonce]

not fair! I'm from brazil so I can't pre-order it, TT wh can't you give it as a special box????

[segasaturnsnk]

Is that Ben Herman? Btw, loving this vid.

[HaipaSonikku]

Any reason in particular that you decided to showcase the 360 version of The King of Fighters XIII despite the fact that it was Sony that gave you a spot in The Official PlayStation Blog, Aram Jabbari?

[Mightfox]

@HaipaSonikku Any reason in particular that anyone would spare even a millisecond of thought to this ridiculously trivial subject?

[TheRudeAmerican]

@Mightfox Yeah, people who visit the PSN blog... moron.

[Mightfox]

@TheRudeAmerican lmao, who cares? I find it incredibly hilarious that such a childish and zealous console fanboy would call me a moron for not caring about whether a video of a multiplatform game presented one version or not. People like you need to get a little perspective.

[TheRudeAmerican]

@Mightfox And I think you need to chew the hair off Aram's arms... that man needs to shave... damn!

[Mightfox]

@TheRudeAmerican Aww, baby too angry that his beloved console didnt get priority that he has to resort to random insults? I hope you do well on your GED.

[TheRudeAmerican]

@Mightfox Enjoy playing KOF on your RROD box dumbass.

[Mightfox]

@TheRudeAmerican Hm, yeah, you're just a troll. I'm having trouble believing such a dinosaur from the beginning of the so-called "console wars" 5-6 years ago could still exist...

[LoryuoFSE]

@TheRudeAmerican That's pretty funny, considering fighting games on ps3 are awful because of frame lag.

[SpanishFly120]

@LoryuoFSE That's funny you should say that because the reason Tekken 6, Soul Calibur IV, Blazblue:CS/2, and MK9 are tournament legal on PS3 is because they have much better and LESS frame lag than their 360 counterparts, and that's mostly the same with KOFXIII too, so you should probably do your homework before saying things like that.

[LoryuoFSE]

@SpanishFly Seems you're uninformed. That's fine. The reason why the PS3 is used in tournaments is because most tournaments are sponsored by Sony, so they require Tourney runners, to use their hardware. Despite using their hardware, the PS3 has a 1 frame lag, that is non existent on the 360 hardware. Many top level players has pointed this out over the years, and have favored the 360's hardware over the years. There are even videos showing the frame lag. Please do your homework next time.

[SpanishFly120]

@LoryuoFSE I said what I said because I DID do my homework. That "1 frame lag" is only present in MVC3 and AE. There have even been videos showing not only the lack of lag on the PS3 versions of the games I listed, but 360 problems with some games. The problem doesn't have to do with the hardware (since the 360's hardware is older than PS3s anyway), but has everything to do with the conversion method. MVC3/AE were converted more to better suit 360, the other games, were made to better suit PS3.

[LoryuoFSE]

@SpanishFly120 Fast reply. The namco games being better on PS3 is obvious anyway, seeing how that's their origin. Not sure about BB or MK9 though since I never see those game at tournies i go to anymore. I guess my fault was the fact that I was referring mostly to the Capcom fighting game scene. I'm sorry, but I was just basing it on the more popular games played highly at tournaments. You don't know if Kof13 work better on either yet though.

[SpanishFly120]

@LoryuoFSE Well, you're right, I don't know 100% or not. I was just basing my opinion off of what someone who got an early PS3 copy told me, and stuff like that. So naturally, it's possible he could be wrong, and in that case, my bad.

[TheRudeAmerican]

@LoryuoFSE Wow, just wow. I've heard some over exaggerated bullshit in my day, but you win the coveted dumbass award for this statement. Do you make this BS up on your own or do you have a team of dipshits to brainstorm this half-baked horse turd? Don't forget to add peanuts next time, amigo.

[LoryuoFSE]

@TheRudeAmerican And this my friends is what we call an ignorant dumbass. Let us watch as he continues to make himself look more stupid by the second.

[TheRudeAmerican]

@LoryuoFSE I've been laughing so hard my side started hurting. You base your claims on what exactly? An opinion? You have presented NO FACTS. But here is a fact: even the new Xbox 360 Slims suffer from the dreaded RROD. Search eBay and you'll see thousands upon thousands of RROD Xbox 360 Slims for parts or repair. See kiddio', that's making a claim while backing it up with facts. An opinion is just an opinion; facts backing an opinion turn it into the truth. Motherfucker.

[LoryuoFSE]

@TheRudeAmerican Lmao why are you still talking you retarded bastard? You obviously haven't read anything and just jumped in a conversation that was squashed. Shut the fuck up.

[TheRudeAmerican]

And how is that pay-to-play online service coming? It's nice having useless pay features Xbox fanboys like you defend. At least I have an education and I am smart enough to know that 'free' is the way to play. LOL

[mybigleftnut90]

@TheRudeAmerican hahaha someone is butthurt

[TheRudeAmerican]

@mybigleftnut90 I'm not the one being ass raped for online services. So if anyone's ass is hurting, it'd be yours, BOXboy.

[TheRudeAmerican]

@HaipaSonikku Because he's a fucking moron and an Xbox 360 elitist. And Destructoid sucks.. LOL

[Mightfox]

@TheRudeAmerican I have no idea whether or not he is a 360 elitist and I am not a fan of destructoid either, but nobody cares about which version they showcase since its the same damn game on two very similar systems anyway.

[beanertowel]

I shaq fuued all over my pants.

[TommyD758]

I didn't know it was $50 :/ now I got more money to spend.

[sdragon21]

Skyward Sword on Sunday, followed by this on Tuesday.

Ooh boy, this is gonna be good!!!

[gameblack86]

@sdragon21 NERD.

[Renrussian]

This game will not leave my ps3 EVER.

[thejhornerfactor]

Mr. Destructoid!

[justchilln6190]

Don't forget to take a whiff...

*sniff*

Oh My Gosh~

[vandalpir9]

I WANT



[akaimizu1]

The funny thing with Ash is he's the current lead character of KOF, and somewhat of both a protagonist and antagonist at the same time. His motives seem dark. In fact, with each main trilogy, they switch lead characters, and each time, the motives of the lead character gets darker and darker. Next KOF? Would it star the villain? :)

[ryukenxx2]

@akaimizu1 Yes! your absolutley right if SNK follows what they planned to do, the next main character should be Adel a villian.

[akaimizu1]

Odd. There was only 1 girl known for looking kind of boyish and there's actually a story behind that. (See Art of Fighting 1) As for the rest, best check your eyes, most of the guys look definitely male. You're probably looking just at Ash and maybe Benimaru, but they aren't exactly the norm. Ash specifically looks feminine. More than the rest.

[Xmayro]

awesome, but could you tell me :why do mostly of the guys look like girls and mostly of the girls look like guys!?

[vegeta353658]

@Xmayro You must be looking at the wrong game.

[mmking9999]

Lame...I could've opened that shit with Teddie.

[heeroueruni]

Danm i wan a teddy!!

[goku3809]

pick the teddy!!!!, pick the teddy!!!!, pick the goddam theddy!!!!! i wanna see how you open the packege with the teddy

[dizi13]

@superbree93 i'll add u ;)

[KOFcollector]

I like and I hate you, why?? Because you have the game in your hands and I'm not buuu ;'(

[Mature]

The king of fighters 96 has got THE soundtack

[winkawak]

ATULUS

why is this not on PC ver.?

it just crush me that my fav fighting game is not on my fav console

always has been a hug kof fan since 94'

i dont care if theres a crack pc verison out ther

i want a official copy

ATLUS MAKES THIS HAPPEN!!!

[AtticusRh0des]

@winkawak sony, microsoft, nintendo, and most gaming companies dont consider a pc a gaming console.

[winkawak]

@AtticusRh0des

lol

ur funny....

[Mightfox]

@winkawak a lot of companies think that their games would suffer in sales due to piracy if put on pc is probably why :(

[winkawak]

@Mightfox

pc might be little higher than other console

but im pretty sure ppl hack their console

and download games from piratebay all the time

[lawrencemiguel22]

The King of Fighters 99 music is the best



[kyuubiflame]

@lawrencemiguel22

AGREED THEY WORKED ON 99s soundtrack the most i've notice and same with XII+XIII

i still love the france theme and stage XD 

[ANIMEman0519]

even the cover artwork and manual looks beautiful i cant wate 6 more days i want the damn gae now

[KrownClown]

I screamed!!! I was playing persona while watching this. When you scrolled to Teddy it was crazy.

[RunningWildVidya]

World War III is one of my all time favorite tracks, but I am a little disappointed Beauty and The Beast from KOF2000 is not there.

[dizi13]

PS3 owners please send online IDs i want to play right after getting the game XD! Btw i'm very decent player at this KOF games

[drexciyan1]

Ohio to you too, Atlus!

[dizi13]

FUCKING EXCITED!! Can't wait till next week i really want it now , and yeah thats why i didn't buy UMVC3 this game kicks ass , THANK U ATLUS

[MegaLUXUN]

i feel pain 

[akaimizu1]

And in North America, for the US, only English is promoted as the most important text. In Canada, French is just as important to convey as English. As you say, oddly, Spanish is not as paramount...unless you are conveying certain warning signs. Quite a few of us took some Spanish, because we expected it to be the other language of the US, like French is for Canada,

[akaimizu1]

Definitely can't fit all the soundtracks in 4 CDs. So I'm excited to hear what their favorite picks are. I know personally, from my collection of CDs, if you were to rip all the arranged versions only from KOF94 to KOF11, that would fill one CD up with MP3 compression. KOF has a lot of songs. Choosing is no small feat.

[MrKzimir]

GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME

[theXXaftermath]

OH THE AGONY, GIVE ME NOW!!

[cirmothe9]

You didn't peel off that annoying sticker on the side.

[AhGweeV2]

@SuperbRee93 ... :(

[hundjsiegfried]

wow. colorfull manual...rare

[darkmaggot]

Why English and French?...I am expecting these days to be English and Spanish for North America, really weird...anyways.

A great fighting game plus a huge soundtrack for 50 bucks wow very nice.

[TommyTonsuls]

@darkmaggot French Canadians my friend. Though Spanish would make more sense I agree

[darkmaggot]

@TommyTonsuls Don't Canadians talk English and French? or is there a difference between French Canadian and French?

[solaris32q]

I pre-ordered this and I don't like fighting games. Go Atlus!

[13thmarch1988]

Why don't you use Teddy?

I want to see how you use Teddy to open the package.

[HatedGreatness]

I can not wait till I get my copy!

[lfish87]

Well at least they give you a physical copy of the sound track i hate downloading the sound track because I rarely carry blank CDs

[cbarrett4]

Ohhhhh Canada! Our home and native land!

(I dig the well placed Canadian flag in this video!)

[Renrussian]

@cbarrett4

not if you're caucasian ;)

[hundjsiegfried]

NTSC is better

[cmkofan]

NO!! you should've picked the stapler to open it up.

[ryanc519]

Activision and EA please learn from the people at Atlus

You should include a thick, full-colored manual for a game for which your customer paid 60 dollars plus tax.

[justchilln6190]

First thing you do when you open the package: take a whiff...

*sniff*

Oh My Gosh...!

[MrDeathSmiles]

Color manual! Atlus rocks!!!

[Akumashadow]

The reason why I didn't buy UMvC3

[AhGweeV2]

The European pre-order bonus is looking slightly better. Here are the contents below of what you'll be getting:

The Game

Reversible Sleeve

A2 Poster With Move List

Digital Art CD

4 CD Soundtrack.

Thank god I live in the UK.

[Stenerify]

Hahahaha, nice Dtoid statue^,^

[kyuubiflame]

so no one has to wait for someone else to do it :p

[AhGweeV2]

BLARGH! I'll be getting mine a week later. :(

[seanj666]

This man put this video up to taunt me with this game. I don't appreciate that lol......

[shion16]

blame canada!

[Johnni23]

Too bad theres no spectator mode
