King of Fighters fans will be pleased to know about the host of features being planned for the home release. King of Fighters XII will feature 22 characters with two of them being unlockable.
Ignition and SNK Playmore have gone out of their way to bring back the arcade feel of yesteryear. Players can create their own lobbies and chat smack talk to your fellow competitors. Surprisingly clans are also supported, I believe this to be a first in a fighting game.
