Back in the summer, SNK Playmore released The King of Fighters XII to both Japan and America and the response from gamers and reviewers have been very negative.

I’m getting it for Xbox 360 and unfortunately it will lack the clan mode that the PS3 version will contain. I hate exclusives like that because that would have been cool to try [...]
