No longer is The King of Fighters XII scheduled for "Summer 2009" in North America. No longer will its release date be shuffled. It will arrive on these shores July 28th.

That's according to The King of Fighters XII Facebook page and Twitter account, putting an end to the torment that is the 2D fighting game's fluctuating release date, social networking style. We're getting it two days before our brethren in Japan, so try to be that much more excited.

Thanks to Collin for the tip!
