Is this bundle truly a Killer one?

View Results
[Buy] Wow, what a Wonderful deal! How can anyone say no to that?
[Have] I had a sudden Surge to press the buy button. On a second though, I realized I already bought these titles before.
[Skip] I would have expected more from such a highly anticipated bundle.

Guys, the reissuing of the keys from the other publishers was probably conditional on the amount of money they'd receive per redux bundle sold, so they couldn't drop the value of the bundle to sub £2, given they're already only giving the other publishers about 20-30 cents/pennies per sale.

SNK just refused to play ball... blame them!

Nah, I won't blame them cause Fanatical has been doing this for years: not getting enough supply for the obvious demand there always is, and then relaunching the same bundles with less titles to milk more money.

Indeed, would have mugged friends and family rather than waited until the next morning to see it sold out, and then a week longer with the money ready for the return just to see this.

Borrowing money for it would have been worth it for the original bundle, and could have paid back the next day. I would have loved the SNK games. Really annoyed I skipped some low entry group giveaways for them since I planned to buy it myself.

With the way they tend to act, you would think I was taking their organs instead. :P

Rather than SNK or Fanatical, I'd blame the greedy resellers who totally purchased dozens of copies of the original $4 bundle, with the intent of reselling the games at $4 each (if not more) afterwards on their grey market of choice.

Bundle is back, and now I don't want it. I was buying it for three games, now it only has one of those, and I already own that elsewhere anyway. For such a minor decrease, I'm not wasting my money.

Well, I'm completely fine that the king of fighters is out, didn't wanted it anyway; and it's good that price is down (I would prefer a little bit more, but that's probably just me being greedy). But the loss of SNK collection is a bit sad. But it's still a pretty good deal I think, I'm glad it got restocked.

+1 to all the rages. If you can't offer the same and also can't lower the price more than 60 cents after cutting the content by half, then better do nothing.

Unfortunately, consumerism hype will count a lot for this case, and many people will bite the bait :(

Although I expected bigger price reduction it is still a great deal, original price was a little low in my opinion. Have no idea why they keep niche game such as KoF XIV at full price 2.5 years after release (3.5 if we count original version).

It's sad, I used to love fanatical / bundlestars. Between crap like this and their mystery bs I don't want to give them any money.

Shame. But still a good deal. I don't know why SNK is being so pathetic about The King of Fighters 14 keys, considering the game should be free (because it's dead).

I was missing 4 and willing to spend $4 but spending $3.50 for 2 missing games is far less tempting... Gonna have to think on this one and risk it going out of stock again

Same. It's just a bit bummer that there was an audience for the removed games, I planned to make giveaway for them/gift them. I'm still content about the deal after I skipped over Sherlock and The Surge in HB Monthly.

Sherlock holmes is 2.34 on gamivo (i bought all sherlock holmes games when it was rumored they all would disappear) the surge is about 2.70. well atleast you now got an extra game for that price.

At last, it's back... except they removed 2 out of 6 games (and 2 of the most wanted at that), but only cut 1 sixth of the price.
Which is definitely what I had expected to happen (the delay was likely due to negotations with the involved publishers, and I guess SNK bailed out of it).

Pay more, get less. Well, at least that's something, I guess. Except it went from "must buy" to "it's alright".
In any case, still better than waiting for a better sale on Wonder Boy (this is half the historical minimum + comes with 3 more games), if that's what you wanted.

Mhm, and two of the most expensive games at that. oh well... At least I won't cry if this gets sold out before I decide on this significantly worse deal.

Edit: Considering the new price we can conclude that SNK and The King of Fighters were only worth €0.64 in this bundle. Odd

Shame, very very very shameful. I'll doubt I'll buy again from a store who makes something like that.

I think difference in price should be bigger than 0,5$. No buy. Not the worst bundle anyway, but original was much better.

Seems like Fanatical do not know the meaning of „redux“, since it is supposed to contain more than the original version. They should have named it „Killer Bundle 12 reduced“.

Isn't it more like brought back or restored? It does seem like they're mixing it up with reduced though.

Exactly. You take material that was not used before and put it in or restore stuff that was cut before. So in the end it should be more :)

KoF was the only worthwhile game in the pack from my perspective. Sad to see this sort of thing happen. I think I will be taking a break from Fanatical. Their business practices have slipped a lot over the last few years. Ignoring the predatory mystery bundles, it just seems odd that they would put out limited bundles without making the public aware of this (I don't recall Bundle Blasts selling out before, especially with the one/two brand new bundles...). I mean, why is it that Humble Bundle, Indiegala, and even Groupees can list lowstock key numbers, but Fanatical can't? And keeping the "sold out" page for KB12 up just seemed like a tactic to drive up sales for other bundles (because you never know if any of the other bundles will sell out wink wink). It was a pretty crappy move on their part. Also, I have never seen them keep a page up for so long for a defunct bundle. Hell, the Rising Star bundle was removed immediately after it sold out. Why couldnt they do that for this one?

I was waiting to see how they handled this situation before throwing any more money at them. Guess this is a Bundle Blast I will just have to pass up.

Don't care about the removed games, the only one I want is Sherlock. I like crime stories, is it worth the money? I'm kind of tired of blowing all my points on trying to win it and getting a bit salty when I don't.

On the other hand, I have other games to play already so I'm really not sure. Help?

You could organize a bundle split and keep only the game you're interested in.
I'd say it: if you plan on playing it this year, then go for it; otherwise it's a high chance that it will be more discounted or again in a bundle, maybe at a better price.

It's the worse Sherlock game, there are way too much casual minigames and action parts. And the stories are not that interesting.

If you haven't played it already, on Fanatical there is also the All star 12 bundle, with "The testament of S.H. " , that's miles better.

They took out two of the four games I wanted this bundle for. I mean, I'm still going to get it and they clearly know that. I can't find the two games in this bundle that I do want for as cheap as that.

I took myself off their mailing list because they were spamming me with emails and so I found out about this bundle just a couple hours after they ran out. Guess I'm going back on their mailing list and just dealing with the ads now..

Not trying to come off too negative, I am grateful I at least got what I got, but now I'm that much sadder that I missed the bundle the first time.

Pretty low of SNK to seemingly deliberately supply a small number of keys with no apparent intention of restocking them. Still an excellent price for four games but apparently the two removed games were only worth $0.50?

Fanatical should really limit how much of the same bundle people can buy.
