Just hitting the shelves this week is SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters XII. This lean, mean, fighting machine of a game is expected to hit the charts and live up to its billing as one of the best fighting games yet, but the only thing hitting SNK this week is a barrage of complaints that there are certain gameplay issues that they need to resolve, specifically issues concerning lag and in online play.

Reports are coming in about the issues, and although the issue may not have been the same in all instances, sources inside SNK said that they are patching up the problem just the same. As of today, July 28th, a patch has been sent to fix online play issues for PS3 users. The patch for the Xbox 360 version has yet to be sent, although we can expect that it will not take long before it arrives.
