King of Fighters 12 Bringing Hand-drawn HD Sprites to Consoles Next Year
by Chris Faylor, Nov 18, 2008 9:45am PSTSNK Playmore's fighter The King of Fighters XII will arrive in North America and Europe next year, publisher Ignition announced today, though further details are scarce.
The sequel sees the long-running series ditch all of its constantly reused previous artwork. Instead, it utilizes "new 2D high definition, high resolution sprites, on detailed 2D backgrounds," all of which are hand-drawn.
"Release date, game platforms, screenshots and loads of details on new features" are all coming soon, teased Ignition. Given the game's emphasis on HD visuals, PS3 and
Xbox 360 versions are expected to follow the arcade release that hits Japan next April.
