If I’m allowed and shoryuken isn’t abrasive and prohibits these news, I post them (these are actually 2 month old news, but here they are complete and absolute news

SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters series is one of the longest-running fighting game franchises, but the game’s graphics have remained relatively the same since it was introduced more than a decade ago. According to the publisher, that’s going to change.

During the 2006 Tokyo Game Show, SNK Playmore arcade project art director Nona appeared on stage and revealed that King of Fighters XII will feature a complete visual overhaul. Only a logo for the game was shown, and Nona explained that the game is still in the middle of development.

“We’re throwing out the [character] pixels that we have been using for the past 10 years, and we are going with new graphics,” Nona said. "We are hoping to make the ultimate 2D fighting game

Here are the Taito Type X2’s technical specifications, the newest and most poweful arcade system:

CPU: selectable between the following: LGA775 **Intel Nucleum2 Duo **/ Pentium 4 / Celeron D
Chipset: Intel Q965+ICH8

Chipset Memory: DDR2-667MHz 512MB/1GB (Compatible up to DDR2-800MHz 4GB)

Video card: PCI-Express x 16, selectable between the following: ATI Radeon X1950Pro/X1600Pro/X1300LE,** Nvidia GeForce 7900GS**/7600GS/7300GS

Sound: On board AD1988A HD Audio 5.1ch BIOS: SPI Flash BIOS

If it retains the same greatly profound gameplay of always and has the eye-emptying graphics that I think it will have… be careful with the earthquake everywhere.

Yay KOF

Well actually this specific info was posted on SRK a while back, matter of fact we had about 3 people post the same thing, but you at least posted a couple of extra cyberfanatix pictures where the others posted like one lol.

Well what I did first before posting anything was to search to see if the news had been posted, and I didn’t find anything so I did it, if it’s again, sorry.

BTW glad to meet you, I don’t know if you know me from other forums, I’m a good KOF and SNK fan. If you need support for organizing campaigns or tournaments in favor of promoting KOF more in the US (and with this The King Of Fighters XII fever), I can help you.

im wondering if the artwork is a clue to the new graphics, hmm in time we shall see.

this thread is going to get lockdown though.

Untill I actually see the game I still don’t give a shit…

Excellent The Orgy I will surely be more than happy to use your knowledge to help me achieve what I am trying to achieve.

Nice to meet you The Orgy!!! :china:

There’s a lot of ignorance to get rid of in places such as these where strangely The King Of Fighters isn’t the most wildly widely played fighting game like in the rest of the world.

I can help you in some way with designs, I’m a good graphical designer (even though I’m not very skilled with photoshop and stuff). I’ve designed a few publicity campaigns in my city for KOF 2002 and KOF XI (one tournament and this week I did one for the arrival of KOF XI to my city to hype it).

On topic:
Actually, the artwork that appeared there is just a sketch in western style art made to simbolize that the game is still in a very early stage of development. It’s not the official art that the game will come with or anything else, it’s just a sketch made like that on purpose.

WTF? :wtf:

What dude, pillows, some anime fans buy them.

11

How do you know that?

The pre art used for XI was actually used in the game when it came out, its to early to assume anything, its another year for this game atleast.

Mai looks more Lolicious than Athena…

13

14

I’m aware of that.
Who are they marketing that Kyo pillow to?
:confused: :confused: :confused:

15

dark geese

:wink:

16

Pillow jokes aside, I hope they manage the transition to the new hardware as easy as they did with the AW.

As already stated, OLD news. There are more than enough SNK threads that this tidbit was posted in(hell I even confirmed the news myself when I came back from TGS), so this thread is redundantly redundant.
