SNK has launched The King Of Fighters XIII Global Match Enhanced Edition for Steam this week, bringing with it an overhaul to the game in several ways. In case you haven't seen or heard the reviews for this one, this edition of the game launched last year and was met with heavy criticism for not being the very best it could be. It has taken some time, but the team has made a number of changes and overhauls to the title to make it better, including the addition of rollback netcode, online lobbies for up to nine players, enabling both battles and spectating globally, and making all 36 playable characters, including DLC fighters, playable from the start. The new version is available now.
