Some things are destined to stay the way they are. So just as Mario is supposed to be plumbing till eternity, King of Fighters is supposed to stay 2D; even though other franchises may have turned over a new leaf on the new consoles. SNK Playmore’s KOF is going to make its debut on PS3 and 360 in July (yeah, the game has been officially dated) and for the time being it will stay 2D; that despite moving to the Taito Type X2 arcade system. King of Fighters XII is however going to make a slight digression by redrawing the entire line of its characters and offering "all-new, high-resolution fighters," along with new backgrounds. All this labor means that for the first time in its history KOF will offer only 20 playable characters; a nice way to commemorate The King- of Fighter’s 15-year anniversary. The creators are smug enough though, having put on offer hand-drawn characters and backgrounds. Fans would tell soon enough what they appreciate more: storyline and more characters or human touch!
