SNK Playmore's latest entry in the long-running King of Fighters series won't make its previously scheduled October release. Publisher Atlus, no stranger to minor delays, has pushed The King of Fighters XIII to November 22.
Atlus narrows down the fall North American release for the console version of The King of Fighters XIII today, promising console-exclusive characters, stages, and game modes galore. Until then, expect screenshots and trailers galore, much like these.
Arcade fighting game The King of Fighters XIII not only features jiggly ninja Mai Shiranui, it also features lots of bugs. That's why the game needs special rules for tournament play.

SNK Playmore is going to keep this King of Fighters thing going, unveiling the latest version, The King of Fighters XIII, in Tokyo this week. The most notable addition? The return of Mai Shiranui, the series' bosomy fan (service) favorite.
