King of Fighters XII tournament to be held in LA

We've come across the North American website for the console release of King of Fighters XII, which features something very exciting: wallpapers! Oh, wait, that's not it, though we like the wallpapers a lot. The website features a signup form to "win a free spot in the KOFXII tournament in LA." Awesome news for those of you confident in your Rising Tackles! That kind of confidence will be tested for most KOFXII players, by the way, because the game supports online multiplayer. We're guessing that the tournament will be held near the July release date.

Also seen on the website: potential box art for the game, showing what could possibly be a limited-edition version in a fancy slipcase. Of course, Ignition has been putting all of its games in fancy slipcases lately, so it's not necessarily an LE.
