Please Snk Bring those on steam: Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 and SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos

https://youtu.be/cjKMwO_kKSU Basic port of the switch edition, enjoyed my nostalgia for a cheap price. Still hoping for a CVS HD/Online Remaster.

This game is from 1999? On a handheld? Well dang...color me super impressed.

For starters, you have a decent amount of content here. You have a training mode, a way to check your stats of gameplay, mini games (like a sunset riders bonus level type game and dance dance Revolution) to change up the pace if you want to take a break of fighting so much. Even time attack and survival modes, cool.

There's a decent roster of characters to choose from. Variety? No. Expect Street Fighter and KOF to get the most respect of this category. Its SNK vs Capcom in name only, basically. You can even unlock more by simply playing the arcade mode multiple times.

So what about the gameplay and fighting? Oh boy do I have much to say.

Like the system, you only got two buttons to work with: punch and kick. Tap for a weak attack, hold for a stronger attack. Unlike most game boy fighting games, it actually works because the game is built around the controls in mind. It's all polished where the controls didn't feel intrusive on my part. You still have special moves where you do inputs, but there's a setting to get easy special moves (reminds me of Super Turbo Revival for the GBA). This helped me get started with the game.

But...OH BOY.

We have:
Back dashing
Forward dashing
CHAIN COMBOS!!
Power bar for stronger attacks
A Dragon ball esque charge to build meter (lol)
Evades
Counterattacks
The ability for stronger supers.
Ground teching
Running
A marvel Vs Capcom style tag system!! (This I like)
A system for reserve units similar to marvel vs capcom 3.
Custom win quotes, team names, tag names, and personal team themes.
Unlockable super moves for each character...probably more I'm missing.

OH! And every character has their own theme! That's attention to detail I can admire! Even unique dialogue for each character in the arcade mode with unique intros for certain matches.

You think there's no VS mode because it's a handheld system now on PC? Wrong! They even have 2P VS in this! Its surprising to see this that isn't from fan made emulation.

Oh, and there's some quality of life updates like rewinding, border selecting, and something about removing the RNG factor of unlocking characters.

Match of the Millennium is honestly really surprising. No wonder people hold this game with such high regard, it's still such an interesting and fun game to play. I like the neat Sprite work, graphics, music...it all feels to hold well. It's a simple portable fighting game that has so much to it.

Now, the 2 button control scheme could throw off those that are more used to playing fighting games with more button involved. The difficulty can either be a speed bump or mount Everest, especially at the final bosses. (Even though rewinding makes it easier lol). Personally, Match of the Millennium arguably has enough as is.

Perfect? No. But darn, Match of the Millennium is probably one the best fighting games of the handheld variety that I've played. Worth it if you like these simple retro games. There's definitely alot to this one.

What a fun game this is.

Is there any cuter Street Fighter Game? I don't think so!

SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium, released in 1999 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, the game was a full-fledged 2D fighting game, able to combine the gameplay formulas of Street Fighter and The King of Fighters in a winning mix, bringing to life a media phenomenon that generated 3 sequels: Millennium Fight 2000, SvC 2 e SvC Chaos.

SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium was the first fighting game crossover between the eponymous giants of the genre, and although compromises were made to get it work on a two-button, 8-bit system, it does both companies' legacies justice. The game's roster is faithfully recreated from the 16-bit games that made them famous, with their movesets and their personalities being on full display here, and it generally plays quite well. This versions also adds a rewind function and slightly improves the character unlocking process, both welcome changes.

The Neo Geo Pocket Color is hailed as a strong system for handheld fighting games, and The Match of the Millennium stands as testament to that reputation.

Possibly the best Capcom vs. SNK game. Not even joking.

Bonus points for characters you can unlock by honing your skills in the game, instead of just throwing more money at it.

(Low playtime because I already played the s***t outta this on emulator)

When you want to play CVS 2 but they don't release it on Steam

First off, graphics and sound are fine. But the control/response in this game is completely awful, and I say this as one of 15 Americans that OWNS a NGPC and this game for it.

If I had to venture a guess of what this product even IS, I'd guess that it's a custom frontend for a single website for all customers combined, that uses a jank JavaScript emulator to make a half-baked version of the game that plays over 2008 delay-based netcode, and WITHOUT online multiplayer. And the controls for the game feel every bit as awful as that sounds. You'll have to complete an entire DP motion before the opponent even leaves the ground just to TRADE with it.

The OG cartridge is very punchy and incredibly responsive and this version of the game is horridly unplayable by comparison. You're honestly better off baking yourself a Raspberry Pi instead. It's a genuinely good game of it's time, and if you have less than a snowball's chance in hell of finding a hard copy of this game and wanna check out it's funny dialogue and cool modes, then dip a penny on it on sale. Put the AI to "BRAINDEAD" and have at it. (You'll STILL never beat (SPOILER ALERT) or (REDACTED), however.)

I love this game dearly, but this version as it is, is completely unplayable. It's not my hardware/connection either, I breeze matches of KoF XV, Killer Instinct, and Guilty Gear Xrd with the smoothest of ease.

First played this back when it originally came out on the NGPC originally. This was way back in 1999. Back then this was also easily the biggest must have for the handheld, and probably the best fighting game on handhelds period up to this point. Stacked roster, lots of ways to play, and some really fun mini games to boot.

The thing is however, if you are lucky enough to still own this as well as an NGPC, like myself, it's just not as fun to play on the small screen anymore. The system itself has really shown its age. Luckily you can now play this on the big screen. Or later on when available, a better small screen (with the Deck). The game looks and plays extremely well and is incredibly responsive.

While the features are very limited, they don't need to be deep in the case of something like this. You have just enough QOL features to keep this enjoyable without going overboard. Such as zooming in and out to fill the screen, rewind (really handy for ghost rick), and auto saving when you exit. There are sadly no resolution features, but truthfully there don't need to be a for a title like this as this scales just fine with most monitors. You will get pillar boxing with ultrawide however, which is still fine, as this is preferred over stretching.

My only real complaint is lack of online multiplayer.

As for the game itself, it is primarily a fighting game, with 26 fighters from both respective companies. You start with 18 fighters, and can unlock an additional 8 fighters as you play the game. You can play matches one of 3 ways. Traditional 1 on 1 matches, 2 vs. 2 tag matches where you can swap between fighters in the middle of the match, and 3 on 3 rotating matches where fighters are switched when one gets KO'ed on their respective teams. You can play with traditional inputs, or an easier mode for beginners where simple directions + attacks will pull of special moves. There are also a wide variety of attacks and playstyles for the various characters. Probably one of the deepest fighting systems of any handheld fighter for its time. There's also a nifty story mode with rivals for each character, and a few boss fights.

On top of this being a fighting game, SNK managed to squeeze in some nifty mini games. Because why not? Thery're not major or anything, but fun little diversions. On Capcom's side you get a rhythm game with Felicia from Darkstalkers and a game where you hop around collecting treasure as Arthur from Ghosts and Goblins. On SNKs side there is a little shooting game featuring Mars People from Metal Slug and a quick relex slash game where you slash at straw targets as Jubei from Samurai Shodown. Playing these will earn you points which can be used to purchase new moves for the fighters to use in the fighting game.

Basically, SNK crammed a lot into such a small title without much compromise. Fans of retro, and fans of both SNK and CAPCOM in general are going to love this one.

As Zangief, I can finish a 3-hit combo with a Spinning Piledriver. Amazing.
