CX : These days a lot of people around the world are looking forward to The King of Fighters XII and we know that Ignition Entertainment is going to publish the game in Europe and USA, so we would like to take the opportunity to ask you several questions about the game.
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : I?m only allowed to give out certain information but I?ll answer as best I can.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : What are the features that we can expect to see in the console version of KOF XII on PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : One can expect your standard console fighting game features. Arcade, VS( Human and CPU options), Practice, Online, Replay, Gallery and some unlockables pertaining to these. Online mode will feature 8 player lobbies, chat and no region restriction so players worldwide can challenge each other. Players will also be able to record and playback their matches. Leaderboards and various rankings are included as well. Also, the PS3 edition will have an exclusive Clan mode where players can form a clan with all their friends and compete against other clans. There are also various clan options such as clan bulletins which make clan organization easy and fun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : a few weeks back, SNK Playmore JP posted on the KOF 15 Anniversary website, a new illustration including K' and Mai Shiranui between other KOF XII's characters, so can you confirm that K' and Mai are in the game or not? And how many exclusive characters are in the game in total?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : I cannot confirm or deny anything related to that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : Are there any extra stages planned for the console version of the game?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : Sadly, I cannot comment on that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : Mr.Masaaki Kukino " Producer of KOF XII " mentioned in one of his interviews that every stage will have two different BGM, is this planned for the console version?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : The console release features everything the arcade version has and more. So if it?s in the arcade, it?s in the console version too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : SNK Playmore JP announced DLC support for KOF XII, Could you give us some details about it? Can we expect more characters and other contents on the PSN and XBL stores?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : I cannot give any details on extra game content at this time. What I can say is that there will be items such as wallpapers and icons available.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : A lot of fans are asking about the Limited Edition of KOF XII, is there any plan to release a Limited Edition of KOF XII?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : Initially we were going to do a SE but the available extras that could be included were deemed to sparse, thus we opted to forgo a SE and give back to the fans in other ways. The Tournament and KoF 15th anniversary celebration within is one example of that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : The Japanese version of KOF XII will be released with KOF 15th Anniversary Special Soundtracks CD, will the European and American version of the game get the same treatment?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : This is still being considering at the moment. It?s probably going to come down to production timing and SNKP approval.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : Are there any products that are related to KOF XII that will be released? like action figures, comics....etc?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : We do have some fun items such as exclusive KoF XII figurines and even KoFXII pillows (Which Shane Bettenhausen is a big fan of) . Right now these will be available at the upcoming tournament though I cannot comment on whether these will see in-store or online release just yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : could we expect Ignition Entertainment to host tournaments around the world for PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 after the release of the game? if yes, will there be prizes?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : It?s definitely possible. It will first depend on the success of the KoF XII tournament. Depending on the outcome of that we will decide if we are to do more tournaments as there more SNKP titles which one could easily dedicate a tournament to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : The LA tournament of KOF XII is on the way, could you give us more details about it? can we expect new announcements and exclusives during the tournament?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : The competition will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2009 from 12pm to 7pm at Element in Hollywood, CA. The single-elimination, five-round tournament will be host to 128 KOF players and the winner will receive a brand new King of Fighters XII Arcade Machine from Japan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : Recently we saw that Ignition Entertainment is handling big titles like The King of Fighters XII, Muramasa: The Demon Blade and others ... so could you tell us what are the strategies of Ignition Entertainment in Europe and USA?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : We simply want to move beyond our past and bring you nothing but the best possible gaming experiences available as opposed to cookie cutter junk which there is more than enough of. We here at Ignition enjoy actual quality videogames and not educational software masquerading as videogames. Consider titles like Muramasa and Nostalgia a preview of what to expect next.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : The E3 2009 ( Electronic Entertainment Expo ) will be held next month, so can you give us more details about the participation of Ignition Entertainment in the Expo? what is the line-up for the company this year ( Specially SNK Playmore's games )?

Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : Sorry, you will have to wait until E3 to find out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CX : What is next for the teaming up between Ignition Entertainment and SNK Playmore?
Mr.Robert Macchiaverna : The next SNKP title we are publishing will be officially announced around or during E3 itself. Stay tuned!
