SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS

[mr_pollock]

Unforunately most of this press release is about the Metal Slug Anthology that has already been posted about. There's a sentence or two in there about SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS! I was so excited when I saw that. Hopefully it will be on display at E3.

Just to restate, I love Card RPGs. I've played tons of them and this was by far my favorite. By the time I finished, I had put over 100 hours into this thing. If I didn't already have a DS, I would buy one just to play this game.

I am refering, of course, to the NGPC version. Odds are the DS port might even have a vaugely coherent translation.

it's funny - I never played the NGP version of this, but I always wanted to. I think I'm more excited for this game than any other DS game now. I love the genre, but not being into Yugioh the selection is pretty much non-existant. It's great to hear SNK hitting the Nintendo systems so hard.

The old SNK card fighters clash games were very good indeed!, and a few years ago i put quite a bit of time into them, by the sounds of it i was not alone

It's a very good job they have not laid it to rest, as it should work very well indeed on the DS!

If I already didn't have a DS, I'd buy one for this game. CFC is one of my favorite games ever, and this is much better than the MS Will news. Best new for me in A LONG TIME.

Ah man, that is sweet!

Back when the NGPC was around, and all I had was the GameBoy Color. I remember reading about the system and games in a handheld magazine. Card Fighters Clash games were the ones on my most wanted list.

Needless to say I sadly missed out on them, but now I will finally get the chance to see what all the fuss is about!

I found CFC at a GameCrazy for $1.99 about six or seven months ago.

It was the best $1.99 I've ever spent!

I cant wait for this title, CFC was imo the best game for the ngpc, no doubt.

Just think of all the new charachters as well.

Joe vs Iori? Henshin a go go baby.

I found CFC at a GameCrazy for $1.99 about six or seven months ago.

It was the best $1.99 I've ever spent!

I had a NGPC bought at full retail and only 3 games, full price also. I occasionally think it was a waste of money until I think of Card Fighters, for me that easily makes up the price of a full system!

Anyway, I'm a bit concerned with these screenshots that have been released. It isn't looking to good to me at the moment. I'd have to see more and read about whats going into it. So far I'm dissapointed but hopefully it'll turn out as good as the old game
