SNK's bankruptcy brought the iconic Capcom vs. SNK series to a halt. But the company is back from the dead and is collaborating with Capcom again, setting the stage for the series' return.
Gamers saw a rekindling of the Street Fighter franchise in 2008 with the series' fourth installment, and then a similar story with Marvel vs. Capcom just three years later.
With SNK releasing King of Fighters 14 back in 2016, and Capcom games chugging right along as they are, perhaps 2018 is the perfect time for yet another melding of the two.
A Capcom vs. SNK 3 would surely bring a few old school competitors out of the woodwork, and the current FGC boom has tons of new faces that would certainly be open to trying out such a title, especially after hearing the praises seasoned FGC members sing for the series.
Only if they add other characters from each universe.
Capcom should add characters from games like the final fight series, sfa series, captain commando and street fighter.
And SNK should add from games like world heroes, garou, rage of the dragons, ninja masters and king of fighters.
But I would love another one.
This series has always had characters from various different Capcom and SNK franchises
Not from world heroes like dragon, rock Howard, gato, Hanzo, Fuuma, Brocken,etc.
I want an all star cast and not just my favorites or most popular from kof and sf
Well obviously not all but the series has pulled characters from multiple franchises
Also take note that King of Fighters itself is a crossover
I personally would only like to see Capcom add characters from their SF universe which includes Final Fight and Rival Schools.
As for SNK their KoF universe is huge and includes all of Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting as well as some off brands.
I do agree with Rage of Dragons though I always thought SNK should comprise a team from that game for KoF and also from Buriki One.
TRUTH. Played the hell out of it on the original Xbox. I was robbed of my SS rank, because of quitters, and how the ranking system locks you in your rank after the 1st 1000 matches. That game was so fun and had such a flexible system, and Capcom's interpretation of the SNK characters was great. I miss that game, I had a cool created color/name for every character.
Funny how Tekken 7 is the first game in a long while where a Capcom character and an SNK character can do battle again after more than a decade
Is it about time? It’s long overdue. And while we’re at it, where the hell is Soul Calibur???
A while back, Capcom promised us gamers a big announcement around the time of the new SSF game's release, and this could be it. Supposedly, pictured on a leaked edition of Famitsu, is news of a new Capcom sequel scheduled for a release in 2012. Follow the link for more details...
Dino Crisis began sucking major ass when they made 2 and 3 with some piss poor controls and horrid gaplay and left to be desired camera angles... What they should bring back is an onimusha Collection on the PS3, and then anounce a multiplatform onimusha game on the PS3 and 360. they have soo much to dig from. i'd even say a remake of MegaManZ 1-5 on the PSN and XBLA using 2.5d graphics... it would be soo much better.
On Topic: This Game if it's true would be a dream come true, i think for the most part that Capcom vs SNK was alot better and more professional, more balanced and far better crafted as a fighting game than Marvel VS Capcom has ever dreamt of being.
and i had way more fun with it's second iteration than i had with MVC2. if it's true i'll be over it, but it's also APR 1, 2010. i'll hold my excitement for something thing like a confirmation.
The secret game is a sequel to the ps1 gem. . . .
"The Misadventures of Tron Bonne"
My eyes just lite up when I saw this. PLEASE god be real. I loved CvS 2, except when my friend would use his damn Yakazami, Blanka and Sagat squad. It looks a little Tatsunoko vs. Capcomish in graphic style, which is fine by me because I had a blast with that on my Wii.
Misadventures of Tron Bonne wasnt as good as Legends though. I played it hoping that Megaman would make an appearance. Oh well, it was different.
Megaman X - Megaman X6 would be great. But i hope they bundle it all together at a low price of $10 since it cost $4.99 in gamestop.
Devil May Cry 5 would be awesome. Just behead Nero in the beginning cinematics by Vergil and everything is forgiven.
Dino Crisis 1 was awesome for the survival horror... especially the poison dart making. Dino Crisis 2 was a blast but was not a survival game. Dual SMGs and that Anti tank rifle were my favorite guns. The games after the two sucked though.
but SvC damn that was hardcore game and it was worth the time....i remember that shin-Ken in it that was awesome addition by SNK.
thank u
Believing in April Fool's jokes.
Then again the 360 is a complete joke as is the XBL community.
@Nitrowolf2
It is.
The famitsu news were leaked yesterday: http://www.n4g.com/News-500...
As the sweaty sand falls through the crack of my hands, I understand the April Fools thing.
For the love of all that is Holy please allow this to really come to fruitation, but don't make it look like SFiV, keep the hand drawn sprites.
Hey, I was talking about the Capcom VS SNK 3 (Joke) they had going. I guess it went over your heads. :)
In an interview with Jeux-Actu, Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono commented on the possibility of Capcom reconsidering the development of Capcom vs. SNK 3. In the interview Yoshinori Ono recalls Capcoms firm focus of unwavering fans of fighting games.
I almost forgot about this one. I had it on gamecube and it was great. They also need to make Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
As far as fighting games having a bright future I don't see it, unless they 1. Bring back old franchises, 2. Make new franchises, and 3. Bring them out ASAP. Over the last 3 years there have only been a handful of fighting games, and only a few of those were good.
Dead or Alive 4
Tekken 5 DR
Soul Calibur 4
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Strom
Virtua Fighter 5
are the only ones worth any money to me. Compared to last gen, this isn't great. I don't understand why its taking so long to get fighting games out, they seem like they would be one of the easier genres to do. We have Street Fighter 4, and Tekken 6 (long overdue) to look forward to, but nothing really "NEW".
Bring back Killer Instinct, Bloody Roar, and more. Plus a couple of new games.
Capcom vs SNK is probably my favorite 2d fighting game. Mainly because it doesn't have that super-jumping (or whatever you call it) that Marvel vs Capcom have. I really hope they bring a new Capcom vs SNK.
I think that if they put this game in it's classical 2-D style on the Wii, 360, and PS3, that it would sell like Wild-Fire. Especially a Wii version! with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
YEA im putting this one right next to the marvel vs capcom 3.......we all want both but i doubt they will ever make either. F*cking c*ck teasing.
This time, let SNK take the lead in their style of animation. I love what Capcom did but I want to see it the other way. Oh and dont forget about Tekken X Street Fighter.
I’d love a Capcom vs Sega, actually. Streets of Rage, Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Yakuza, Shinobi, Valkyria Chronicles, Golden Axe, Persona perhaps, etc.
Can't wait for the next collection. Last couple of years have been great if you liked / like old school fighters.
