King of Fighters XII on PS3 and possibly XBOX360

For those lucky enough to attend AOU 2008 on February 16th, SNK Playmore JP and Taito will be displaying King of Fighters XII (Twelve) in video format. KOF XII has been in production for the longest amount of time, compared to any other King of Fighters produced and rightfully so, as SNK Playmore JP decided to start from scratch with a new game engine and completely overhaul the sprites.

King of Fighters XII will first be displayed on Taito's Type X² and later ported to Sony's PS3 in 2009, with a possible release on the Xbox 360 in the same year. Tentatively, expect the Taito Type X² release of KOF XII in June/July of 2008.

X² is the arcade system that the game is running on correct?

killer_trap5942d ago

thats what i think it is, I'm not sure though.

ErcsYou5942d ago (Edited 5942d ago )

The "Taito type X2" is a arcade mother board...

besides KOF12 it also has "KING OF FIGHTERS MAXIMUM IMPACT"(3D KOF) and Battle Fantasia (Jpn 2D fighter)

Strange Its been listed in every 360 list as coming to the 360 with every site with any credebility for over a year.

ruibing5942d ago (Edited 5942d ago )

Unfortunately, unless there has been a change recently towards its development, he is right.

Thats Unfortunate...

Didn't even know it was multi platform.

Unfortunately. lol We don't have to like what eacchother says but DAM I'm not rabid, sheesh.

Genki5942d ago

looking forward to this. Shame that Garou: MotW never got a sequel.

DarkSniper5942d ago

The coveted King of Fighters series does not deserve to be on XBOX 360. Given the Japanese presence that PLAYSTATION® 3, King of Fighters will rightfully stay where it belongs. PLAYSTATION® 3.

Woot new 3d Samurai Spirits too, Genjuro is the man!! http://www.taito.co.jp/ICSF...

As far as KOF is concerned, I hope the sprite overhaul is massive because on a PS3 and 360 I don't wish to see old pixelated sprites. High res 2d is what we need, since Capcom dropped the ball on that with SFIV I'm hoping we get it in KOFXII.

Keowrath5942d ago

What SS title is that from Skerj? Genjuro looks badass!

Skerj5942d ago (Edited 5942d ago )

Samurai Showdown: Edge of Destiny/Samurai Spirits Sen. It looks dope as hell so far, check out video from the beta test:

Four Terrible Fighting Game Mechanics

GameDynamo - "Fighting games have enjoyed a period of spectacular growth after being a nearly nonexistent genre for so many years prior. Because of this sudden growth, we're seeing a lot of companies taking different approaches to the traditional fighting game formula that has stood since Street Fighter II first came onto the scene."

The one that comes to mind most is the tripping for SSBB.

No sequel for Star Trek Online

Star Trek Online developer Cryptic has ruled out the possibility of it releasing a sequel to the game in future years - telling CVG it would rather constantly update its existing MMO.

Wrong story type
Should be
Remove Dev News. It doesn't involve development tools or software so therefore Dev News does not belong in the channel listing.

slow down, why release a sequel to an unfinished game?

Elven65135d ago

They never said they were going to do a sequel.

An expansion a few years down the line? Maybe, Star Trek Online is pretty good, it was released a bit early but most MMO's are now a days due to the "release now patch later" mentality. =/

maxcer5134d ago (Edited 5134d ago )

i took part in the closed/open beta and it was voiced by many people that the game needed more time. i understand mmos are an ever evolving process but the sheer amount of bugs at launch was amazing. I would love to see what WoW was like at beta and launch stages, i even hear that zones weren't seamless like they are today.

in the end, as a player, you want to be the first one out of the gate to play a game but you also have to put up with unrefined aspects of the game. i bet when the holidays roll around the game will be fairly solid.

you are right about STO, its a good game. its the best star trek game i have ever played in fact. (although its the only one)

SuperStrokey11235135d ago

Looks like someone in marketing told someone what to say lol

DeeBee5135d ago

I'm glad they aren't going to make a sequel. The current game is unfinished and flawed, they need to fix that first.

mushroomwig5135d ago

A sequel is the last thing people are thinking about right now, it's an online game! You don't need a sequel, you can just keep building the game and change the story arc for as long as you want.

King Of Fighters XII [PS3] Review - A Post-Mortem Post-Patch

The Start Screen reviews King Of Fighters XII for the PS3. They cover how far fighting games have come and with the showing that SNK Playmore's KOF XII, how far we need to go. The game was seemingly released incomplete with an time trial for an Arcade Mode and a seemingly broken online mode. Did the 772 MB patch help?
