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.
