SNK Playmore has announced in a press release that the long-awaited 3 on 3 fighting game King of Fighters XII will be launched on July 28th according to the developer’s Facebook page and Twitter feed. To make the date more exciting, the game will launch two days ahead of the July 30th Japanese release date, giving US players two full days of practice before they are invariably stomped by god-tier Japanese players who eat/sleep/crap the game in that order.
