« The King of Fighters for iPhone Comes Out Today »

Look, I'll be honest right out of the gates here: I had no clue that this game even existed until I read that it was being released today. Perhaps I missed the press release somewhere down the line, but the King of Fighters-i is out for iPhone/iPad today in most regions. While it's not available on the US App Store just yet, I've been told it will be available later tonight. That said, it's already appeared in the NZ App Store among others so you might want to check it out depending on your region. 

Check out the preview video below and a few screenshots as well.
