KOF XII

Apparently King of Fighters 12 has a worldwide release of July. That's good news, but even better news is that, despite the recent trailer being stamped with PS3 and ARCADE, it's also going to be coming to XBOX 360.

This hand drawn beauty will no doubt be a part of my collection, but I gotta say, I really miss seeing the other two opponents sitting beside each other and waiting for their turn in the backgrounds in some of the earlier years. I always thought that was a smart idea for team based fighters.

Say what you will about KOF 2006, or the other somewhat recent PS2 versions of the 2D franchise, but I thought they were so much fun. They were doing what SFIV does now, then. In all honesty, I prefer SNK's art style, even though Ash is a complete weirdo.
