The Match of the Millennium: SNK VS Capcom
(LAST UPDATE: 5/8/08)

Profile

General: 26 characters from SNK and Capcom have been redrawn into the "chibi" deformed style and thrown into a mix to make of of the best handheld fighters of all time... The art and animation is stunning, clean, and looks superb for a handheld! The gameplay is fun, yet simple, and there's actually many cool combo possibilities with certain characters!

..

   The story behind each character goes quite deep to say the least, and there's quite a lot of dialouge to read through... Some of which is rather hilarious. One can't look passed the fact that there is much dialouge in this handheld than in MOST fighting games at the time of it's release. Also, the variety of modes adds a lot of replayability; which includes 1 on 1, 3 on 3, and the always exciting Tag Mode! There are also some notable extra mini-games that are worth mentioning as well, such as a Dance Dance Revolution style mini game, a Ghost & Goblins mini game, Metal Slug, etc...

..

    This game offers a presentation unlike any other. Since the graphics are limited, it seems like the artists behind the game gave that "extra" effort that kinda throws everything in your face and forces you to like it. Seriously, they went all out in this game. A Capcom and SNK fan just can't miss this one, especially with the hordes of extra this tiny cartridge packs.

Closing Comment: The gameplay is rock solid and the character roster is superb... Not to mention all the characters having their ORIGINAL background music... Badass! One of the best handheld fighters of it's time! ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
