SNK vs CAPCOM Card Fighters DS

[ty896]

Just read over at insertcredit.com that SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS is in development.

I surely hope this comes stateside. I would be willing to import (Mr Driller anyone?), but I want to play this against real people damn it, and I just don't see the casual DS owner shopping at Play-Asia.

Assuming it does get a US release, I would expect most established players will run out to get their own copies, if only to start building their deck. But I would hope that the game supports a single card multi-player option. Lets face it, while the NGPC versions are awesome, not that many people (read Americans) have ever played it.

I would suggest that the client player (the one who downloads the game from the host) have access to either the host players cards or a selection of premade standard decks that are known to offer competive hands.

I would also expect that this one card mode would only give access to a card table and not any of the RPG elements which could be potentially shared, along with other special features, with the standard P2P multi-player (ie each player has a copy of the game).

On a side note, I must say that the DS is really starting to pile on some excellent titles.

*speechless*....It's like having cake and ice cream almost....it's so delicious....I hope to god this is for real...

Arrgh! I'm now considering buying a used DS for this.........

[ty896]

Found this over at
1up.com.

I wonder if there will be both SNK & Capcom variants.

Arrgh! I'm now considering buying a used DS for this.........

Ditto. I have more and more reasons to get one as time passes.

Oh man, am I the only one thats excited about how many more cards they could have with a DS version? Or how great the artwork could be?

They could have attack sequences a la roleplaying RPGs with the various characters.

If this comes out stateside, the question wont be "should I get a DS?" it will be "Where should I buy my DS?"

Great news!

if a US release is confirmed

i'm SOLD

[hbkprm]

i like that

[Slimedog]

That pretty much tears it for me. If this gets a domestic release, I'm getting a DS. The NGPC version was one of my favorite games of all time.

[goatdan]

I... have to agree...

After playing Nintendogs for about 5 minutes in the store today and having a blast (I could seriously sit around and just pet those virtua dogs for an hour, I swear... I wasn't even expecting to like it!) and hearing this, I'm tempted to buy my first handheld since the Neo Geo Pocket.

And which game sold me on the NGPC originally? Yup, Card Fighter's Clash.

Awesome! I hope this comes out in America, CFC on NGPC is probably my 2nd favorite game of all time, and probably my most played game of all time. This is the best video gaming news I've heard in months.

best news in a long time played one and two for hunderds of hours. I can wait, so I will pick up a Japanese version for sure.

[Cryomancer]

Good, my Capcom copy is about at that "i can't get any more cards without another person with a SNK copy" stage.

[Half Japanese]

Awesome news. I was in the store yesterday eyeing a DS but I didn't commit. I felt like I should have done it yesterday, and I'll probably end with one before this game comes out, but thank god almighty that it's coming out. I fucking LOVED that game. Like, put 60 hours into it LOVED it. Even when you're mostly done at 20 and there aren't that many cards you can get after that point. Jesus damn I'm excited for this one!

[Amy Rose]

Mine mine mine

As a rule I generally can't stand card games, but SNK... bless you, you've managed to make a card game beyond great.

[Mayhem]

Get the damn thing wireless enabled so I can play against any of you lot from here in the UK

A dream perhaps... but I will be so over this if it comes out in the West (as I already own both UK titles and the Japanese only sequel for NGPC).

[MegaDrive20XX]

I think we need to create a partition to make sure this comes out world wide...Europe...USA...and Australia. We need this game badly! Capcom and SNK need to know that we are loyal fans to the original and need this on DS.

I still want Namco X Capcom, but nobody has said a word yet!

[ty896]

While I have no proof, I think it will get a worldwide release. Yes the fan base is on the small side, but it seems to me very committed and these people will buy. Hell, this game will sell systems.

Just don't make 20 millions copies, and it will be like printing money.

[sisko]

I'm sold!

The functionality of the touch screen will add a phenomenal improvment to an already excellent game.

One of my video game wishes has finally come true! Now SNK just needs to announce a US release date...
