TGS: King of Fighters XII in 2009 News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

24 September, 2007

SNK has said the new and completely redesigned King of Fighters XII will be available in early 2009 across the US.

Confirmation came by way of Kotaku, who heard the news from SNK marketing manager Yoshihito Koyama at the Tokyo Game Show 2007.

This PS3 and 360 instalment will be a significant step for SNK, as it will discard the character sprites that have been used in the fighting series for almost a decade.

Instead, everything is being redesigned, creating a style described by Koyama as “3D mixed with 2D". It also goes some way to explaining the lengthy development time.

King of Fighters XII is currently unconfirmed for Europe.

King of Fighters XI was released here in the summer at a budget price, and earned itself a pat on the back from us for a splendid return to form.

How many times have we been promised a complete overhaull for KoF eh?

Well, I guess it did happen with Maximum Impact..... sort of. I'm not sure that counts though.

/Still wont be supprised if the new game just has the old sprites passed through a horrible blur filter.

all 2D fighters that go 3D have failed.. Unless they are going to rip off DOA or Soul Caliber it could be poor... Jsut look at that recent Mortal Kombat 3D game - compelte tosh.

hi res characters this time please!! Guilty Gear has been doing it for years now - no excuses! Surely it would be easier on the artists too to an extent.

As much as I like KOF XI, the visuals make my eyes bleed. This redesign is, therefore, welcome news.

Yeah, what's the point of finely honed gameplay and immense playability if the sprites are a bit blocky?
That'd sure ruin any game for me!

SNK redrawing all its sprites for a 2D KoF game? I'll believe it when I see it.

If they do, though, I'm definitely interested.
