SNK (Or as they're called now, SNK Playmore.) is a company that mostly made several action and fighting games, including ''Fatal Fury'' (with one of their games having the Japanese moniker ''"Garou"''), ''Art of Fighting'', ''Samurai Shodown'' (Or as Japan calls it, Samurai Spirits.), ''The King of <s>[[Fuck]]ers</s> Fighters'', and ''Metal Slug''. Their series' have many fans, and Samurai Shodown II is one of the few games to receive acclaim from everyone who's played it, but [[Capcom]] hates their guts for some strange reason. Maybe it's because one of their characters is a ''Street Fighter'' knockoff. Their also famous for many spelling errors/Engrish (It's most notable in the game Samurai Shodown II.).

Also, they  made the Neo Geo arcade system/home console and the portable Neo Geo Pocket/Neo Geo Pocket Color. They also closed down in 2001 and then reopened in 2003 as the aforementioned SNK Playmore. They're also releasing collections of their old games on the Playstation 2, PSP, and the Nintendo Wii for some strange reason, and a few installments of their most well-known series are on the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console, as well as the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade. Their games are notable for featuring smooth, <s>low</s> high-quality animations. Most recently, they're going to release The King of Fighters XII for the Arcades (Surprisingly), Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. This means that [[Street Fighter (game)|once again,]] the [[Nintendo]] [[Wii]] gets screwed over.

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. Readers had misread the cover, which said KOF vs. SF, to mean that there was a fighting game that would pit characters from the [[Street Fighter]] series and The King of Fighters series. Because of this uproar, Capcom and SNK supposedly signed a deal that would allow them to produce only two fighting games concerning both franchises in 1999. Thus, the series started, resulting in four games; two by SNK, and two more by Capcom. Although the other three were well-received, SVC Chaos: SNK Vs. Capcom received some criticism for the odd and somewhat scary-looking sprites, and how apparently, Earthquake is more important than Haohmaru and Nakoruru. Yeah, that's indeed odd (The game was actually rushed out due to contractual obligations and that was when SNK was still bankrupt and Playmore, who didn't merge with SNK at the time, held all of SNK's properties.). Also, SNK secretly made three different card battling games of both their companies' properties (Though, Capcom didn't mind that.) that's sort of similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! or Magic: The Gathering, only played differently and was SNK's supposed answer to [[Nintendo]]'s [[Pokemon]] franchise. (Which, [[M. Bison|of course]], like all others, failed.) With recent news, there is a rumor from a Capcom employee that there is a possibility that there could be a third Capcom Vs. SNK game. However, both Capcom and SNK have said to be having of no interest of having a new Capcom Vs. SNK or a new SNK Vs. Capcom game at all.

* SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of The Millenium (Neo Geo Pocket Color)

* SNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash (Neo Geo Pocket Color) (Had a Capcom Edition and an SNK Edition.)

*[[Ninja Coach Z]] (Especially Samurai Shodown/Spirits 2, KOF XI and '98, and Metal Slug.)

*[[King D Supersepiroth]] (Notable for blaming Capcom for SNK's bankruptcy)

*Lots of people/poopers, including [[SonNeoKaku]]. After all, he shortens his name SNK.

*[[Capcom]] (For allegedly ripping them off.)

**But it neither outlasted the Nintendo Famicom, which sold from 1983 to 2003, nor the [[Atari 2600]], which sold from 1977 to 1992 (with independent games still selling for the system to this day).

*In fact, the Neo Geo (1990-2004) was the second longest-lasting system ever (The longest-lasting system ever was the Atari 2600. (1977-1992, though with new games in production today.)).

*It took [[California|like]] 16-17 months to draw all the sprite frames for a single character in ''King of Fighters XII''. Now that takes some <u>'''true'''</u> dedication. [[no|Too bad the game sucks.]] [[Yes|Thankfully, XIII is a huge improvement.]]
