At the 44th Amusement machine show in Japan today, SNK Playmore announced support for Taito's new Type X2 arcade board.

The longtime fighting game publisher said it is already developing two games for the machine: KOF Maximum Impact: Regulation A and Samurai Spirits Sen. While details on the titles have yet to be disclosed, SNK showed trailers to give a hint of how the titles might play.

KOF Maximum Impact: Regulation A is based on the 3D home-console fighting series carrying the same name. It includes at least one new character, Ash Crimson. Ash is the main character in KOF2003 and KOF XI.

Samurai Spirits Sen will also play as a 3D game. This will be the second time the sword fighting series makes its way to the arcade (in 3D) since it landed on the Hyper Neo-Geo 64 system in 1997.

SNK also said it will bring a new title from its best-selling franchise to the Type X2. While only a logo was displayed during the stage presentation, the company announced that King of Fighters XII will be released on the new system.
