Yes it's coming to PS3 and 360. KOF XII is my main reason to buy a PS3. I bought it last month. |

I highly doubt that there will be a PC release. Mainly I believe this because of what Kaz pointed out, SNK has enough problems with PC piracy. So I suppose if I want to play this I should get my hands on a 360, which I really do not want to do for just one game.

It'll be on 360/PS3, SNK said they would release a PS3 game in 2009 and when they have mentioned the home version they say "on next gen consoles". |

First gameplay vid my friends. 
I don't think it needs saying but the game looks gorgeous! I'm trying to figure out the portraits on the select screen at the end. I knew there was going to be a drastically reduced roster (20 it seems) but I did not foresee the breaking up of teams. I think this is a good thing actually since each team had at least one dud. Here's what I can make of the portraits:
Kyo Kim Ash
Leona Robert? Athena
Shen? Benimaru? Ralf
Terry Ryo?

KOF XII looks really good. The animation is superb. But game looks a bit slow i think they will fix it later. You can see more screenshots and pics from AM Show 2008 from www.cyberfanatix.com You can see Iori on the promotional poster. |

The game speed looks just fine to me; I was hoping they'd slow things down a tad. I'm not sure if I cotton to a change in Leona's outfit though and Ralf looks like he drank a few too many Buds.
Thanks for the link!

I'd go to Japan only for the Mai boothbabes 
I like the new Leona look. Probably will be jiggly!

Wow, like Boogie said, Ralf looks like a lard-ass. Looks like they really beefed up the cast. Terry and others look like they have been pumping 'Roids. Nonetheless, the game looks awesome!

Oh, blessed are they who still, unwaivered by the young's bizarre 3D fetish, pursue the noble art of splendiferous 2D fighters. SNK, we, your fellow believers salute you. *sheds small tear*
Er, I mean, it's looks awesome! |

Wow, I will drink to that Shiny. That should be the official SNK salute 
I am not really liking the roided up character look (I guess fighting game characters need "enhanced" performance too.) other than that it looks great.

I think Ralf has officially received a severe case of Chun Li Thigh Syndrome.
Oh, and Shiny? That Data/Windows thing? Priceless

There are new match video links on cyberfanatix. Robert looks very good. I don't think game is slow after watching more videos. The speed is just good. |

More KOF XII gameplay videos:
1
2
3
4
I've done some research and apparently this build (which isn't the finished article) is a little slow, plus there are no special gauges yet and according to those who played it, the characters only had one special each. But all these things will change come the home version we'll be playing.

Allow me to play devil's advocate:
The game looks outstanding, this is a fact none can deny. But gameplay-wise, how is it any different from the other KOF games? The specials haven't been fully implemented yet, so I can't quite judge it yet. But I didn't notice anything resembling a parry or just-defend or anything like that.
To many, the greatest 2D fighter of all time is Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. 3 kinds of specials per character, parrys and tactical grabbing, and a very balanced selection of fighters with superb graphics makes it the best. Of course I'm only scratching the surface, but I think that's a fair summary.
As far as looks are concerned, KOF 12 more then beats SF3. But gameplay remains the biggest issue, and I will be very curious to see how it turns out and what SNK will do different.
