The King of Fighters XIII Global Match release date

Original (8/5): SNK just announced a final release date for The King of Fighters XIII Global Match. News dropped a short while ago at EVO 2023.

The King of Fighters XIII Global Match is due out for Switch on November 16, 2023. This follows the original announcement back in April, which did not include a release window.

The King of Fighters XIII Global Match physical

Pix’n Love is working with SNK on a physical release of The King of Fighters XIII Global Match for Switch, the company has announced.

Three versions are planned: standard, collector’s, and deluxe. There’ll only be 1,300 units for the collector’s edition and 150 units for the deluxe edition.

SNK is developing The King of Fighters XIII Global Match for Switch, the company revealed today. A release window has not been announced.

Note that despite it being April Fools’ Day, this is apparently an actual announcement. SNK shared the news at Evo Japan 2023.

NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2

Original (8/3): SNK will be releasing NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 2, the company has announced. Specifics, including the lineup of games, have not been shared just yet. There’s also no word on a launch window at this time.

NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 debuted on Switch in March 2021. It included Big Tournament Golf, Dark Arms, Fatal Fury First Contact, King of Fighters R-2, Metal Slug 1st Mission, Metal Slug 2nd Mission, Samurai Shodown! 2, SNK Gals’ Fighters, SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, and The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny.

King of Fighters XV XIV Switch

The King of Fighters XIV and King of Fighters XV have yet to appear on Switch, but SNK would have interest in releasing ports.

In an interview with Gamereactor, SNK’s Yasuyuki Oda indicated that the company has looked into bringing both fighting titles over to the console. However, technical limitations seem to be preventing ports from happening. Oda mentioned that SNK “would love” to put both The King of Fighters XIV and The King of Fighters XV on Switch and “are always thinking about it, but at the moment there are no plans.”

Terry Bogard Smash Bros Ultimate SNK

According to SNK’s Yasuyuki Oda, Terry Bogard was always planned as the company’s rep for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In other words, it was never in the cards for a character like Nakoruru to be included.

A previous leak revealed that SNK would be a featured character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, though Terry wasn’t confirmed at the time. That led some fans to originally believe that Nakoruru could have been added to the game.
