It's not every gamer that remembers the NeoGeo Pocket Color card clash game between the heroes of SNK and Capcom's two fighting franchises, but those who do know of it remember it fondly. At last, SNK is bringing the game back for a portable platform that will finally reach the masses with this Nintendo DS release.

SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is a robust re-imagining of the series, with several brand new tweaks to the formula to make it interesting and incredibly challenging. The core addition is something called "Force", which is a system of power points that you must be able to expend if you wish to use a card. Each side of the two-fighter battle has a card bar (with a deck to pull from as well as several face-up cards) and a Ring where you place your active cards. Up to eight cards can be used at a time, but to use a card, you must have enough Force to place it. This Force appears as little marbles that you place on the points for the cards, each of which needs a certain combination of different Force color marbles to be able to use. If you don't have the Force, you must either choose different cards or else throw away other cards from your deck.
