Call it sacrilege or whatever, but I've always been more of a King of Fighters guy than a Street Fighter fan. That's why King of Fighters XII's move to consoles has me all excited, especially now that K' is being rumored to be one of the new fighters that'll be added to the 20-character roster.

The rumor stems from a new image spotted on the official King of Fighters Anniversary website, which features the aforementioned K' and scantily-clad fan-favorite Mai Shiranui all done up in the KoFXII art style. Get your dose of sideboob below:

Ah, I hope this is true. I wanna start throwing Chain Drives around already. The worldwide release for KoFXII's Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions has been set by SNK Playmore for July 2009.

Dude, you put KoF XIII instead of XII I actually though they were talkin about a new KoF already before shortly relizing it was typo (or is it?)







Any I've always been KoF kinda guy also I always know who my fav chars are going to be befor I play and often the first person I pick they're just "Xis" characters I can't find a fave char for me In SF games plus the characters seem too...."Two dimensional" to me not sayin SF is at al a bad series , just was never for me ya kno?

Yeah she's a symbol to SNK she needed to be in this game.



I hear Andy Bogard is in this game too. Been a fan of him since Fatal Fury. I stopped playing the game because he wasn't there and the game began to suck. I hope they add something new to the game.

I think Mai wasn't included in the arcade version of KOF XI. That said, I think K' and Mai aren't necessarily console additions only, because from what I understand this game was just released for the arcades yesterday?

Never could stand King of Fighters. Always found the fighting kinda sluggish and dull and never found a single character I liked. A lot of them trying to hard to be 'cool' and lot were just plain awful. Perhaps it's just a bit too japanese for me.



Garou - Mark of the Wolves though was a lot more playable but again had a lot of really bland character designs.

Mai is an iconic character for the series and is what makes people know its KoF... why would they exclude her?
