King of Fighters 12 Bringing Hand-drawn HD Sprites to Consoles Next Year
The sequel sees the long-running series ditch all of its constantly reused previous artwork. Instead, it utilizes "new 2D high definition, high resolution sprites, on detailed 2D backgrounds," all of which are hand-drawn.
"Release date, game platforms, screenshots and loads of details on new features" are all coming soon, teased Ignition. Given the game's emphasis on HD visuals, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are expected to follow the arcade release that hits Japan next April.
To see the gorgeous sequel in motion, check out the arcade trailer below:

replyThis has been a long time coming. I really wish Capcom would do this too. We need to get rid of the mentality that everything has to be 3D, which is not the case.

YES!! Bring back the old 2D super fighters!

I wish Capcom used the Darkstalkers more often or made a sequel.
