The KOFXII video shows a return to 2D roots
King of Fighters XII at AOU 2008
Some of you might remember our post about King of Fighters XII coming to the PS3 in 2009. That seems like a long time from now, but don't worry old school fighting fans -- 2008 won't be going down without a little SNK love. The SNK-Capcom website tells fans that the AOU 2008 expo in Tokyo's Makuhari Messe convention center will feature King of Fighters XII in video format.
Not much else is know about what will be shown at AOU, but we do know that KoF XII will use a whole new game engine and rehashed old character sprites will be a thing of the past. The game is expected to come out first in the arcades by June/July 2008, running on the Taito Type X². A PS3 port (and possibly an Xbox 360 port) will follow in 2009.
King of Fighters XII coming in 2009
Speaking with Kotaku, SNK Overseas Manager Yoshihito Koyama admitted that a good time for KoFXII to hit the PS3 and 360 would be in 2009. The game is going to be 3D, but shaded to look 2D, apparently. We're not quite sure what that means, but we hope it goes beyond standard cel-shading seen in many of those awful anime-inspired fighting titles. More news as it develops, though this one's quite a distance away.
