The real news is that they announced Mako as free DLC this summer

Oh she's free? Sheeeeeeit I was happy with her finally getting announced but I'll take it!

I hope the NA version isn't too far behind.

Edit: Just saw salromano's post above. Bless! Summer is getting more and more ridiculous lol.

Pretty tame box art for KLK.
Ha! I was thinking the same thing.
Check out the Animate pre-order bonus on the Gematsu article from the tweet above:

It's full KLK.
On scale of Battleborn to Crackdown 3, how bad will this game be?
I'm hoping for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

Yup. If I ever play this game, I'm definitely not getting it on disc.

Mako as free DLC is pretty sweet. That outfit of hers is by far the best in the show. God I hope this game is going to be at least a 6/10.

Glad to see a simultaneous release. Definitely picking it up. Any word on if it'll support dual audio?

I watched the anime in Japanese and would rather stay consistant if possible.

Really cool that it's a world-wide release. Between this, Dragon Quest Builders 2, and Fire Emblem Three Houses, July is getting packed.

I'm nearing the end of a KLK rewatch right now, in awe of how good it is all over again, so in theory I'd be the perfect demo to be hyped about this game. But. I just can't see it possibly being any good. Nothing about it excites me in the least. Not even the storyline which, while it's a cool idea, I have no faith they'll pull off well.

Not to be too negative! I'd love to be surprised.

Man it's been forever since I watched KLK.

Not exactly striking while the Iron is hot. I'll check out some gameplay though could be cool.

I wonder if we'll get characters in their "Nudist Beach" costumes.

I like how everyone is pointing out her back but is not noticing something way more out of line: Her left hand. Shows you what people are actually focusing on...

Mako confirmed as free DLC makes this a definitive purchase for me.

I'll be surprised if the box art remains the same for NA.

I'm hoping for the best but curious to see how it turns out in terms of the gameplay being fun...

How many playable characters are there?

And yeah, that box art isn't staying in tact for the NA release.

What the hell, why does it seem like they put a pretty huge amount of effort into this. I thought it was gonna be a pretty shitty arena fighter at first and it probably will be a pretty shitty arena fighter but it'll be one with at least some effort put into it. Worldwide release, actual lobbies (lol doa), free dlc, dual audio. Pretty impressed with that.
