SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium

Despite some re-release shortcomings, SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium remains not only a charming piece of history, but a comprehensive fighting game with impressively taut elasticity. Bursting with move-sets that accurately mirror the arcade counterparts from which they're derived, it represents the moment that a legendary rivalry thawed out and shook hands, and a fanfare for SNK's excellent but ill-fated handheld. There also remains something special about having so many faces from so many different series occupying the same screen space, and in such good spirits. Seeing pocket-sized Kyo and Chun-Li battle it out on her Great Wall stage or Ken and Ryu's fireballs trailing across Krauser's cathedral is an experience worth revisiting. It's an object of both its time and format, and you need to be prepared for that; but SNK versus Capcom? That really is the match of the millennium.

Overall, the Steam version of SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of Millennium is worth much more as a historical record. Its continuous gameplay factor, by current standards, is almost nil, as fun as it is. The fact that it doesn't run natively, that is, other than the emulation interface, in addition to the lack of an online system, unfortunately, makes things quite difficult , even if it's a title with local multiplayer and it is supported by Steam's remote play system.

Featuring more modes and options than I knew what to do with, SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium is still worth the time of fighting game fans 22 years after its initial release. With tight controls, deep combat, and a huge roster, there’s so much to keep you busy. I’d love to see PC releases of the arcade Capcom vs. SNK titles, but for now, this alternative will keep fans plenty busy.

If you’re a fan of retro fighting games and missed out on the Switch version, then SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium is definitely worth the pickup. And with a price tag of less than $10, it’s most definitely worth it.

Featuring a large cast of characters from two popular fighting game universes, the rereleased SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium delivers robust fisticuffs in an adorable package.

This is not the port we are waiting for, but still one of the best fighting games on the Nintendo Switch.

SNK Vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium is a decent, casual style fighting game from the previous century. It has tons of characters and modes to keep you interested for a short time, but don't expect any depth whatsoever here.

While newcomers may find some shortcomings in the whole package, hardcore fans will still find it a delight. Sure, it feels rather dated, but this port of a Neo Geo Pocket Color classic still hits the mark where it counts.

SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium is a great portable fighting game and easily one of the biggest highlights in the NeoGeo Pocket Color library. The title features elaborate systems (within the limitations of the original console), explored in agile battles full of combos and possibilities. In addition, the game overflows content with many characters, different combat styles and various minigames. The adaptation for Switch is competent and has some useful resources, but the presence of more options would make the experience better. In the ende, SNK vs. Capcom offers a fun retro experience, as well as being an interesting crossover.

A shining star of the collection. A must for fighting enthusiasts
