SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium is a crossover fighting game developed and published by SNK for the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 1999.

Play options includes 2-fighter tag teams (like in the Marvel vs. Capcom series), 3-fighter queue teams (like in The King of Fighters series) and one-on-one. After that, the player can choose a Capcom-style level gauge (Average mode), an SNK-style charge gauge (Counter mode) or a 'neutral' meter that enhances super attacks if full (Rush mode, similar to the "Advanced" mode in The King of Fighters '97 and '98).

Every character also has a rival, whom they will fight between stages 4 and 5. The last two stages has the player fighting the tag team of Geese and Bison, then, depending what the side opposite to the player character's is and if the player's rival had been defeated beforehand, Orochi Iori or Evil Ryu. Only by reaching and clearing this final stage will the player's leading character's ending play; otherwise, a bad ending will be triggered. Upon clearing the game and achieving the character's true ending, a secret character unlock sequence will appear.

In Olympic mode, one can play themed minigames such as blasting Martians FPS-style (lifted from the final boss of Metal Slug 2) or helping Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins hop pits to snatch up treasure, as well as time-attack, first strike and survival events. The player's performance in these games awards special Versus points which can be used to unlock a special attack for each character or, via link-up, to unlock extra content in SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash and in The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 and Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 for the Dreamcast. #NeoGeo #Snk #Capcom #SNKCAPCOM #RETRO #Fighting #Retrogaming
