The King of Fighters XII

May 6, 2008 – 10:38 pm

The next and much talked about installment of The King of Fighters series, The King of Fighters XII (KOF XII) will change the looks and feel on the series we used to know. Aside from SNK-Playmore abandoning the Atomiswave system and moving the series to Taito Type X2, KOF XII will also have a drastic change in the visuals. Replacing the sprites used in previous games over ten years to a newly-drawn high-definition 2D sprites. Nothing much revealed from the game but some rumors say that they will be returning the old fashion one on one (yeah, no more tags) fight and introduced new systems like The Guard System, which allows you to guard and counterattack an opponent, Attack Offset System, now you can collide opponent’s attacks with your own, and Wall Stuck State, you can land additional attacks with your teammate if your opponent is stuck on the edge. The game to be released in arcades on late 2008 and in consoles (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) on the first quarter of 2009.
