Just came across this on Neo-Geo.com's forums, a real suprise this one but Famitsu is reporting that a King of Fighters game titled 'King of Fighters-i' will be coming out soon for iPod/iPhone.
Judging from the screen shots there are about 14 characters from XIII, including Billy Kane, as well as the Kyokugen gym (Takuma's stage) from Art of Fighting 2.

The frame rates/animation looks obviously lower quality than the arcade version but still it should be quite nice to have a portable version of KOFXIII. Price tag for Japan is set for about Y900 and should be released worldwide.
More news on this as i come across it.
[Edit]: Apparently it's already up on the Japanese App store @
I don't have any credit on my Japanese iTunes account so i can't check it out yet T_T
