Ha! No you weren't! You know why it didn't come out from them. But if you wanted something a bit more official, hear what publisher Ignition had to say about it:
"We never had an exclusive relationship with them [SNK Playmore], it was always on a per title basis," says Shane Bettenhausen, Ignition's New Business Development Director.
"We had previously announced Samurai Shodown for the 360. The decision to not publish it was a tough one, but partially stemmed from the online issues that plagued King of Fighters XII. We tried to avoid going through that again."
As you probably know, the title was dropped by Ignition and later picked up by XSEED.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Less shitty shit games, more Deadly Premonition, Muramasa, El Shaddai, etc.
This man is turning this company around.
Impress me.
Give me a proper, current-gen sequel to Mark Of The Wolves. Then we'll talk about the future.
Stop bringing over games that suck. Less subpar games, more Retro Game Challenge.
Sincerely,
Caspulex.
Your prayer has been answered. They're bringing over Ivy The Kiwi and it's great.
