I've been telling people this for years. The sequel & Dive alert had wireless battles WAYYY before the Game Boy Advance. RIP NGPC. You were too good for this world.

“What starter pokemon did you pick”
“… Akuma”

So this is where those mugen archive icons came from

Seeing Miles Edgeworth scroll across the screen during the DS game section gave me a moment of double take whiplash

I was wondering why Ukyo was always coughing in SS. Man solved an age long mystery for me.

17:02 Funny that Falcoon is the main illustrator for the first two Card Fighters games. His chibis are really cool even if you don't like his art style in the KOF games.

Please talk more about the neo geo pocket color fighters!! They are so good for such a small console! The joystick on the device was amazing!

SNK in general was so ahead of their time. This game is ridiculously fun even as a guy not into card games, glad to see you shed light on it.

i hope someone does an indie game inspired by it

I really, REALLY appreciate you making this video! As a kid I never got a Neo Geo but I was SOOO wanting to play that card game. So when Card Fighters DS came out, I was all over it! It was one of my favorite DS games to play, made multiple different decks for it and had some really powerful combos. But it also really wasn't that hard to play especially against the CPU at one point as it wasn't that smart. I've actually had some really, really weak cards on the field, like Phoenix Wright, and was able to one shot people because they refused to fight because of the rest of my board. Still, I had lots of fun with it.

Then learning about the game breaking bug, I did return my cart to them and when I did, I got a box with the updated cart, and also a pack of the SNK card game at the time! I believe it was UFS. It was the first time I've ever interacted with a video game company, and they sent a letter apologizing for the issue too!

Though a part of me wish I didn't because I barely went through the game again a 2nd time. I miss my old cards and old data, but still glad for the experience.

As a player of the Digimon TCG, I can relate to the pain of those opening hands.

I want the artwork from this game as a set of pins so bad lol

I mostly remember seeing sprite rips of this as a kid and thinking the cards looked incredibly cool despite not knowing most of the characters at the time

The artwork of these games is simply fantastic - the chibis from the NGPC are a classic, and although DS used a more standard style, the rarer cards are drawn by legendary SNK artists like Falcoon, Eisuke Ogura and Kita Senri (the latter may sound familiar to Fire Emblem players - she's the main artist in the Tellius games) which is a cool detail.

As someone who also likes fighting and card games, maybe I should give them a spin too!

I wish there were more ccg/tcg rpg video games like this one and the Pokémon tcg game for the Gameboy color.
Walking around and challenging folks to get more cards to improve your deck is such a great gameplay loop (as long as the card game itself is fun, of course).

I love these sprites. This art is so good.

Card Fighters Clash is a game I go back to from time to time because it's so fun. Shot out to all the people using CFC cards as forum avatars.

Man, my illiterate ass thought the title was referring to some fabled rule about the snk vs. cap tcg, and not the obvious reading of, "man these games cool as hell!"

as a long time magic player and a big fan of the old pokemon tcg game boy color game i was always pretty curious about this series. i'll definitely have to give the first game a look

My favorite cards are the ones showing characters interacting each other 😄
Seeing Jeanne D'Arc (World Heroes) alongside Charlotte (Samurai Shodown), leading a French army.
Carol (Savage Reign) alongside Tiffany Lords (Rival Schools) as cheerleaders.
Bao (KOF) and Ai (Neo Geo Battle Coliseum) playing video games.
Nanja Momja (Twinkle Star Sprites) looking at Mr. Karate's tengu mask.
Those made me so happy 😊
