SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION, the U.S. publishing arm of the SNK PLAYMORE CORPORATION, today announced that THE KING OF FIGHTERS XI for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system is now shipping to retailers across North America.

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XI expands on the winning THE KING OF FIGHTERS formula with new strategic options like Quick Shift and Saving Shift, which allow greater precision and control when switching out characters, the match-deciding Judgment Indicator, and Dream Cancel, which wreaks even more havoc than the Super Cancels found in previous games. In addition to all the 2D-fighting goodness found in the popular arcade version, THE KING OF FIGHTERS XI for PlayStation2 system offers exclusive features including extra characters, bonus stages and brand-new music.

"With the release of THE KING OF FIGHTERS XI, 2D-fighter fans have hours of the classic gameplay they love, plus brand-new game-enhancing features, at their fingertips," said Ben Herman, president of SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION.
