Instead, <em>King of Fighters Android</em> is King of Fighters game for Google's Android OS, which is probably a more reasonable business decision in the long run. Judging from the screenshots below, it appears to be based on <em>King of Fighters XIII</em>, or at least heavily influenced by its art style. The game features 20 fighters, five different play modes and unlockable bonus content like trading cards and concept art.<br /><br /><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.vividruntime.gg_1403">Available now</a> for $4.99, the game is officially compatible with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/">Galaxy S 2</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/">Galaxy Tab 10.1</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/13/sony-launches-xperia-acro-in-japan-march-15/">Xperia Acro HD</a>, and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/xperia-play">Xperia Play</a>, which should be a good fit for the title considering it has <em>actual buttons</em>. Compatibility with other Android devices is untested and should be attempted at your own risk; two marketplace reviews already indicate the game does not function on the Galaxy Nexus.<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: left; "><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/">The King of Fighters Android</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/#4912887"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/03/kof-android1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/#4912888"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/03/kof-android2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/#4912889"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/03/kof-android3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/#4912890"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/03/kof-android4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/the-king-of-fighters-android/#4912891"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/03/kof-android5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></span><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/22/king-of-fighters-android-now-on-select-android-devices-for-4-99/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>King of Fighters Android now on select Android devices for $4.99</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/22/king-of-fighters-android-now-on-select-android-devices-for-4-99/">King of Fighters Android now on select Android devices for $4.99</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:00:00 EST.
