Check out this short video of the PAL version of KOF XI in action... it would appear that it has some pretty bad bugs in it:
Tizoc is labeled as Mai, some cut scene text goes off the screen, and the game freezes in practice mode under certain conditions. This video has been posted on a number of forums, but before people lose their mind over it, one thing does need to be pointed out: the game is NOT out officially right now, and the only version doing the rounds is a warez copy. The game is not out until the 6th of July according to Play.com, so the likelihood is that the version people have tried is a beta and not the final product.
This is pure speculation at the moment of course, and we won't know for sure until KOF XI comes out for real, but one thing is certain; if the game does contain these bugs, then it's quite unacceptable, especially considering the PAL version of NGBC had a few issues of its own, not to mention the problems that afflicted the US version of SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters on the Nintendo DS. Ignition Entertainment might be the ones to blame for NGBC and KOF XI, with SNK being to blame for SVC, but the simple fact is that people expect to get a quality product for their money, and should not have to put up with stuff like this on a regular basis.
I'll update once I know for sure if these bugs are in the final version (I'll be getting it soon after the official release). Thanks to boogiepop for the heads up on the video!
