I don't recommend buying new if you're fussed about receiving sealed copies but very good price for a preowned copy. CeX price is £30 for this at the moment. Could be even cheaper if you've got one of those 10% off codes for buying preowned.

• Climax Cancels: KOF’s trademark special move mechanic has deeply evolved in KOF XIV. Now chain your special moves together to create ultra-destructive combos!
• Improved MAX Mode: MAX mode returns deadlier than ever! Unleash EX specials to enhance your attacks and execute even deadlier moves
• Party Battle Mode: Duke it out together with friends as 6 players in the online “Party Battle” mode! Fight alongside your friends in 3-on-3 versus battles and use the built-in chat features to cheer your team on!
• Enhanced Online Modes: Create a KOF XIV profile to easily join the action online and fight on the vastly improved netcode. Train with friends in the ‘Online Training’ mode, or spectate battles and capture replays to analyse fights frame-by-frame.
• A New KOF Saga: Set several years after the last KOF tournament, KOF XIV continues the tale in the robust single-player story mode. Turned into a worldwide business, individuals and companies partake in a new KOF tournament on a grand scale that could decide the fate of the world!

Games these days should actually be released at a lower price and then be sold at full price after 3-6 months.
People pre-ordering or buying on release pay FULL price and get a **** ingame add-on and a crapload of bugs and performance issues.

The patch is out today so its an ideal time to pick the game up. For what you get out of the box its a fantastic deal. The gameplay is no slouch either with a familiar combo system that allows everyone from beginners to pros pull of flashy moves and gain a stylish victory.
Support the game and show SNK that their efforts were worthwhile. We need to show that there are more great fighters with 3D graphics than just Street Fighter V.

Game looks miles better with the graphics patch. Thinking to just buy the game first, even though I don't own a PS4 yet. Someone tell me this game's price is going to go down anyway.

yeah...does feel more and more like we're being charged full price for early access games when they're first released...even games that get delayed for years, or their release dates pushed back for "polish", end up getting massive patches that first week they're out. Bit of a joke... especially when they drop in price so much after they've been out a month. Everybody should hold out till the games are actually finished...they'd soon learn.
This gen must suck for the people with limited internet, or don't have their consoles hooked up at all.

I hear the net code is abysmal for this game. Been watching a few matches online and it's rare that the game runs smoothly, especially if playing against people abroad (let's face it, the U.K. Following for games like these is pretty low.)
I would definitely wait for that to be fixed before jumping in, KOF fighting games historically plummet in price after a couple of months.

Would you confirm what you've heard is for after today's patch or was prior to that?

I was really into the Fatal Fury games and loved the crossovers with SNK vs Capcom but I could never get into KoF. Im more of a SF guy. Is this version any good?
