    I own the SF collection on switch as well as a few KOF games and I almost prefer this. The small-screen sprites are perfect, the 2-not-6 button workaround is implemented brilliantly, and the usual mechanics are all there: teching, 1 to 3 tag team, multiple fighting styles, etc. I didn't expect all this from a handheld game.

    Incidentally, it's kind of crazy that this is the first SvC (or    I own the SF collection on switch as well as a few KOF games and I almost prefer this.

    Incidentally, it's kind of crazy that this is the first SvC (or MvC) game on the store...

    One big plus for this over other traditional fighting games is the AI difficulty scales all the way down to be beatable by the most novice of players.

    Only negatives:
    - The manual is a nice idea but only contains a fraction of the moves. (look them up on your phone like any other fighting game)
    - No save states (just a short rewind) means the randomness of unlocking characters might take me 1000 plays of the same story to get them all (can't reset to the start of the credits for another unlock attempt, as I did when I downloaded a rom to check this game out before buying).
    - Some slowdown at times.

    However they went above and beyond with dual emulation to allow split-screen 2 player and that's worked perfectly! Shame they don't have Card Fighters as well, as that used to have interactions with this game.

    It's cheap! It's good!

    Time will tell if people buying this game will convince the powers that be to port a REAL SvC or MvC, or that a new one is due!    … Expand

    SNK Vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium is an excellent release for its low asking price. Code Mystics has done a fantastic job in making it feel great to play when docked on a TV or played in portable mode with its various display options. I can’t wait for the NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection compilation of games to release so I can get all the games in a single package. I knew Code Mystics does good work but the care put into SNK Vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium has me interested to try out more games. If you’re a fan of either Capcom or SNK fighters, this is an essential on Nintendo Switch with its great music, minigames, fun combat, great roster, and more.

    The emulation quality is decent and it’s a worthwhile way to get to know a bit more about SNK’s history as well as enjoy a great amount of content from such an experimental time in gaming.

    SNK vs Capcom was an exceptional fighting game at the turn of the millennium and still holds up now—mostly as an artifact.
