King of Fighters XII, yes?

[Jimizzle]

So I just saw the latest gameplay video for KoFXII, and I gotta say that looks DAMN fine. I trust it'll be on the list of potential games in the future? ;D

Here's the link to some of the new footage:

[Echoes of PAIN]

probably not to be honest. When andy purchased kof11 it didn't bring a good enough crowd to pay off the kit or build a community out of. America lacks in kof players. :gator:

it looks nice and all, but will it pay off is the question.

I think a lot of people will play this game. Kof always been hated on cuz the graphics r basura but not it looks great and it seems to flow like cvs2.

kof XII is sex that's all I have to say...

I love KOF11 and KOF12 looks sick. I am in the minority when it comes to fighters. I generally am not a fan of Capcom fighters (never got into Street Fighter 2, hoping 4 will spark some interest), but love SNK fighters. Favorite of course is Mark of the Wolves followed by KOF11. I agree that there really isn't that much of an interest in SNK fighters in America which is a real shame. As much as I would love a chance to play KOF12, I think Andy would be better off squeezing an MVS candy cab in the classic section, two players on the same cab for room, and filling it with Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Spirits 2 or 4, KOF 98, and or Last Blade 2. Hell,the beauty of an MVS, you can always keep a stack of carts and cycle random games in and out. I can't guarantee it would draw a crowd, but I can guarantee it would receive a lot of love from me.

New trailer, direct feed too. The characters shown were in the latest build they had at the last arcade show in Japan.

They said the game looks amazing, some people are saying it looks better then SFIV and that it still has a while to go. The game had supers, but no super bars.

Some folks were complaining that Ralf looks too buffed up but since I don't use him, I could care less.

It does, freaking frame of animation is hand drawn!

It's a shame that SNK doesn't get the same amount of love in America as it does in Japan. I was living in Tokyo when Neo Geo Battle Coliseum came out in the arcades. It was awesome to see the arcade I frequented jammed with people playing that and others playing Samurai Showdown V while they waited. This was also the first time I got to experience the way fighting games are linked together in Japanese Arcades. Battle Coliseum was set up just like the DDR machines at TGA in across type shape. My first time playing I thought I was going against the computer because no one was standing next to me. After getting my ass handed to me multiple times, a noticed a Japanese boy peaking around the corner. I then put 2 and 2 together and realized that in Japan, they link arcade cabinets together. Even with losing, I had a blast.
