The SNK VS. Series is a collection of
video games by either
Capcom or
SNK in which characters that appear in games created by both of these
two companies appear. The "VS. Series" terminology originates from the
fact that many of these games (but not all) are fighting games, while "SNK"
is added to distinguish itself from Capcom's other VS. Series with
Marvel Comics.
As a rule, games in this series either contain "SNK Vs. Capcom" or "Capcom
Vs. SNK", the first company denoting the company behind the game's
publication. Games in this series appear for various platforms, including
the
Sony Playstation,
Nintendo Gamecube,
Microsoft X-Box,
Neo-Geo Pocket, and
Sega Dreamcast.
The supposed origin behind this series was an issue of Arcadia
magazine in which there were articles covering both The King of
Fighters '98 and Street Fighter Alpha 3, both of which were
released at around the same time period. Readers had misread the cover,
which said "KOF vs SF", to mean that there was a fighting game that would
pit characters from
Street Fighter and
The King of Fighters.
Fighting Games

series, and they do involve characters from both Capcom and SNK.
- SNK Vs. Capcom - Card Fighters Clash
- This was an electronic

differing rules.
