Yeah, SNK vs Capcom was released for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and as I described, it's very cool indeed. Many consider this, of the two crossover games made by the two companies, to be the better one. The graphics and sound weren't much (you fought with super deformed characters), but it really did everything right. It copied the Marvel vs Capcom style, as I said, with mid battle character switching and a similar combat style. All the characters were quite evenly matched, so there wasn't any of this developer bias that many people claim is in Capcom's series. As I said, all the franchises, not just the two fighting ones like in CvS, are represented. I much prefer that for the same reason I prefer Smash Bros in our reality to what it could have been, nothing but Mario characters bashing it out (sure it would have been fun, but it wouldn't settle any disputes on who's the strongest in milk bar fights). Capcom did do the innovation of "grooves" and "power levels" though. Combining the two, as I suggested, would be the best. Character switching is VERY important here though. Since they ARE after all calling it "SNK vs Capcom", I don't doubt they are going to copy the NGPC game's style. Oh, in Capcom vs SNK DC version, there is a Neo Geo link up option where you trade points between Neo Geo's SNK vs Capcom and DC's Capcom vs SNK.
Ah yes, I am looking forward to this (I got CvSNK 1, but was disappointed when I compaired it to SNKvC that my friend had, so I skipped CvSNK2) so I can enjoy all the goodness in the amazing 2D power current systems have :D. I do agree with you by the way. They need to move on from the Neo Geo arcade machine to something current like Triforce.
One last thing. Nintendo should consider letting these guys put the Crystalis main character in SNK vs Capcom. SNK DID make that game in it's entirety after all. It would be a nice gesture at least to let them USE their own character in this game.
