As most of you know SNK
vs Capcom Card Fighters was originally from a video game of the same
name. It was all started on the Neo-Geo Pocket color. Both SNK and Capcom
had come to an agreement that each company would be allowed to make 3
games using the others intellectual properties. SNKs decision to make
a card game was probably one of the best idea's that they could have had
in years. I hear people saying how lame it sounds but as soon as they play
it they are hooked.
The original game
on the NGPC came in 2 version in simular ways that Pokemon did. You
have a Capcom version and an SNK version. You could never get all the
cards unless you either bought both games or knew somone that had the
opposite game or yours. I'm actually quite sad to see that they only tried
to do this once on
just the first Card Fighters game and never again brought
that back. But of course that also save the gamers money :o)
SVC:CFC was a very simple game as far as rules go. It was
not overly complex so it was easy to pick up and learn within a few
minutes of playing. But it was as very complex at the same time. Trying
to create an unbeatable deck took much time and careful thought. One
of the things that I enjoyed about the original game was being able
to walk around town and actually talk to people RPG style which was
later changed in all the other versions.
Unfortunately for
any of outside of Japan where SVC2 was released. If you wanted to play
it you would either have to import it or get the ROM. This game did
not totally play like the first one they added more cards and a whole
different group of cards call Reaction. Reaction cards were great for
getting out of a jam. All of the cards in this game were redone. From
the graphics to even tweaking the numbers for BP and SP. Trying to get
your hands on this game? Good luck it's extremely rare. I just hope that
the DS version does not go the same way. Considering reserves on the
game were low. Here in town only one person reserved the DS game. (Me!)
Which of course brings us to the next game. SNK vs Capcom
Card Fighters DS.This game plays on an entierly new format. It takes
place in a tower where you basically have to defete the players on each
floor before you can go up to the next floor.
They really changed the play
mechanics to this version of the game and unfortunately have made it less
fun. One mistake I think they made it so that you can have way too many
characters in the ring at the same time. A total of 8 characters can now
be played in one side of the ring. They have also now included a gem system
where every move you make or every card you play uses a certain color and
number of gems. Similar to the original game where you used BP to do unions,
action, and reaction cards. But this has
slowed down the game considerably. Soon after release of the
game a horrid glitch in the game was found that renderst unplayable when you
start New Game after beating the game once you get to a certain floor in
the second time around.. This will make it so you can never collect all 400
cards that are available in the game. SNK Playmore are replacing the defective
games but you have to send your game in to them and they will send you a
bug free game. So all of your progress is now lost. I guess I'm just going
to keep my copy and use a cheating device to get all the cards.
