NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Japanese release of King of Fighters XII ships a week later than the North American version so we're expecting dismal sales. The only saving grace may be the Japanese PS3 version's lovely cover art which features Kyo and Iori duking it out while a blonde named Ash Crimson lords over the two of them with a luminous index finger. The USA version's cover art will likely feature Kyo as the centerpiece if Ignition's "Rock the Box" poll is any indication. The Japanese X360 version's cover art looks like a mess but that's just our opinion. Japanese vendors started preorders last night for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of KOF XII which are scheduled to ship on July 30, 2009 which is delayed from the original date of July 16. Pricing is set at JPY6800 or US$68.90 from NCS. Early preorders will ship with a bonus KOF 15th Anniversary Soundtrack in an undetermined ratio. This document is ©NCSX 2009. All rights reserved.
