So the Console Version of KoF_XIII will have streamed music, right?? by jonai at 3:55 PM EDT on April 6, 2010
So the official Website of "The King of Fighters XIII" of SNK Playmore is there for a while. So knowing that the arcade machine is nothing than a modded Windows XP embedded machine of course the internal music format could be "anything" So I wondered for some moments if the developers for this arcade system even dared to think to use some native Windows audio format for their music... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Type_X2 But then again if SNK would want to port this to a PC or a Console version than a vgmstream format that can be easily ported and has no or few license fees (Ogg Vorbis anyone ??) would be desirable.
I took a short look at the official flash-page, wiki, blog etc. I was disappointed from KOF_XII. It seems that it was just like a teasergame for the XIII and SNK knows that. So i was surprised that they even had already music for each fighting team on the flash page. Some of this (Iori, Ash and Kim) are really good, so I wanted them on my mp3 player device at least until a game rip or a soundtrack got released (XII has not one you know...). So Fire up the page in "Live http headers" or in "Firebug" and a few minutes later you got this on my mp3player device.:

Just fire this up into your favorite command line or use the links when your browser is on the referrer page.
Some guy (not me) even uploaded that files on youtube with the title "KOF XIII OST" which is an overestimation...
