Our friends over at DreamCancel are reporting some grim news about the King of Fighters series. Apparently, the producer of King of Fighters XII and XIII left SNK Playmore back in November. To make matters worse, the new company president "wants to shut down the video game division and focus on licensing instead, such as porting old titles and creating pachinko games and figures". Will we ever see a console port of King of Fighters XIII? The future seems uncertain. Check out the thread here on SRK to talk about it.

For those few who don't know, SNK is the company behind Garou (Fatal Fury), King of Fighters, Metal Slug, and Samurai Showdown franchises. KoF XIII has been well-received in arcades but its console future is uncertain.
Just thought I'd post this here because I think people here care about KoF. I loved SNK characters like Terry Bogard and Yamazaki way more than any SF character, and I loved CvS which wouldn't have been possible without SNK. This is very, very sad news for fighting game fans if true. I hope Capcom buys them or the KoF IP. If not, they should atleast try for a new CvS game to pump some money into SNK.
