There’s so much news about what will be one of the biggest fighting game releases this year. King of Fighters XII has always been a top tier fighting game and this new upcoming game looks like it will deliver. The new Game Informer has a great feature that gives some insight to what may make this the best King of Fighters game to date. “The size of each character is much larger than before with a much higher level of resolution. Both their length and height are almost twice as big. However, the density (detail) of the dot-pixels are about four times as much. The color palette has also increased. With these character graphics you can say the level of expression has expanded a great deal.” says Nona, the art director. The game informer magazine features an interview with illustrator Eisuke Ogura and Nona the Art Director Director.

On Saturday, May 30th there will be a King of Fighters XII Tournament in Hollywood, California. A total of 128 players will compete in a single elimination, five round tournament. The grand Prize will be a brand new KOF XII Arcade Machine from Japan.

“2009 marks the 15th anniversary of SNK PLAYMORE’s fan-favorite THE KING OF FIGHTERS series, and Ignition Entertainment wants to reach out to the elite hardcore fighting community with this exclusive KOF XII tournament.” said Shane Bettenhausen, now New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. We all know Shane from EGM and the greatly missed 1UP Show podcast. We know Shane is a fighting game fan so things are looking good indeed for King of Fighters fans this year…. read more…

I’ll look out for it.
Is it 2D/3D Like Street Fighter or is it all 3D.

Definately give it a try. I say rent it first, because the learning curve is a lil steeper. Ultimately learning both games can only improve your abilities! Kyo, Terry, and Andy are beastly!!

Cresent Waves for ALLLL!!!!

King of Fighter was really Art of Fighting vs Fatal Fury. I thought that was amazing. Two of SNK biggest fighting games at the time. That photo is from the recent Game Informer.

I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]
