characters from SNK and Capcom have been redrawn into the "chibi" deformed
style and thrown into a mix to make, in my opinion, the greatest handheld
fighter of all time... The art and animation is stunning, clean, and looks
superb for a handheld! The story behind each character goes quite deep
to say the least, and there's A LOT of dialouge to skim through. Some of
which is rather hilarious. One can't look passed the fact that there is
much dialouge in this handheld than in MOST fighting games at the time
of it's release. There are also some notable extra mini-games that are
worth mentioning as well, such as a Dance Dance Revolution style mini game,
a Ghost & Goblins mini game, Metal Slug, etc...
This game offers a presentation unlike any other. Since the graphics are
limited, it seems like the artists behind the game gave that "extra" effort
that kinda throws everything in your face and forces you to like it. Seriously,
they went all out in this game. A Capcom and SNK fan just can't miss this
one, especially with the hordes of extra this tiny cartridge packs.
