King of Fighters XII will be getting some exclusive NEOGEO arcade joysticks in Japan for the PlayStation 3 version of the game.
One of them features official KoF12 artwork and has six-buttons, while the other one has a traditional four-button layout, which is how the game was designed to be played. And while it doesn’t feature the cool artwork, it has an equally nice looking black finish. Both sticks are being made by Japanese company Exar. They do not yet have a release date outside of Japan but if you are a hardcore fighting fan you might consider importing one. The six-button stick costs US$65 while the four-button stick retails for US$55.
The King of Fighters XII will be released worldwide for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on July 16th. Be sure to check out our King of Fighters XII Character List which has been updated with the two newest members of the 22-character roster, who you can see in action below.
