Okay, so this is not strictly related to King of Fighters, but it still is -- kinda. A man has been arrested for stalking a voice actress for the said fighting game in Japan, and, heck, it's not every day we hear of voice actors getting stalked now, is it?

Fresh into the shelves this week is the SNK Playmore fight-fest King of Fighters XII. Early reports, however, indicated that the game experiences some gameplay issues in online play, specifically some lag. The issue may not have been the same in all instances, but SNK is patching the problem up all the same.

We've got here today an awesome new trailer for SNK's 2D fighting title for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, The King of Fighters XII. The 1994 original franchise celebrates its 15th year with fighting rage that befits a king's.

2D fighting games have seen something of a resurgence these past few months, and that'll continue with the upcoming launch of King of Fighters XII. The latest entry in SNK's venerable fighting series has finally been upgraded from a TBA timeframe to a more specific release date.

As we inch closer and closer to the release of King of Fighters XII for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, let's take a quick look at what we'll be doing once we've got this 2D fighter on our hands. By quick, I mean 42 seconds quick, but that doesn't mean this vid won't let you see what you want.

Sorry, but there's been a delay in the flight of King of Fighters XII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Originally set for a July 16 Japan launch, it now stands on the wings of TBA July.

Calling 2D fighting "a lost art," Shane Bettenhausen of Ignition Entertainment took the opportunity to ramp up publicity for King of Fighters XII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), the latest in the SNK Playmore 2D-fighting franchise. There aren't many 2D fighters out there anymore, with the exception of a few loyal franchises, and King of Fighters is one of the last ones standing. With its release, King of Fighters XII will be duking it out with younger fighters in the industry, so let's see how the veteran will make his move.

Street Fighter IV's not the only one getting fight sticks. No sirree. TinyCartridge reports that accessory maker Exar is also releasing a King of Fighters XII-themed USB stick for the PS3.

Japanese gaming mag Famitsu has finally revealed the two extra characters added in the home console versions of King of Fighters XII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). Sadly, Mai and K' are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we get King of Fighters XI's Elizabeth Blanctorche and Mature, who apparently got better after she was killed by Iori Yagami.

It's a bit unfortunate that Ignition and SNK Playmore haven't been coughing up info for King of Fighters XII, but lucky for US, IGN got some info off an unnamed retailer describing the game modes for the 2D fighter.
