The Neo Geo Pocket Color game SNK VS. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash got a surprise release on the Switch eShop at the start of this year, and as much as we loved it, one other game we would also like to see return is the Japan-only sequel.
The good news is the SNK team is "currently looking into the matter". Here's exactly what SNK producer Adam Laatz had to say during an interview with Siliconera when asked about the possibility of an "official English release" of Card Fighters 2:
"Please don’t rule this out, as we are currently looking into the matter! Thank you again for your support of SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash on Nintendo Switch and other NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection titles."
Card Fighters 2 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color originally made its debut in Japan in 2001, and while it was never officially localised - it did eventually receive a fan-made English translation patch in 2008. The follow-up adds even more cards and characters from both the SNK and Capcom series.
If you'd like to learn more about this series, be sure to check out our review of the original game, which we gave nine out of ten stars. Would you be interested in an official English version of Card Fighters 2? Tell us down below.

yesssss, yessss, YESSSS Love this game! I´m playing everyday. So much replayability. I'm dying to play the second version that I don't even know it existed.
I still need to get the first game on my Switch, always wanted it for my Neo Geo pocket. Definitely will get both if they bring the sequel.
Really hope they eventually look into new releases of the SNK vs. Capcom arcade fighters as well; especially with Capcom releasing that new fighter collection in June.
I really should get the card fighter games.
I actually have the Capcom vs snk game on the DS.
Also card games are my second favorite genre right next to RPGs.
Only if it's translated horribly like an SNK game should be.
@Greatluigi The NGPC games are better than the DS games.
The best thing we can do is vote with our wallets.
I would love another NGPC collection, but I'm not sure it would work without some of these Japanese exclusives being included. Might need to do some negotiating with other companies too, as you'd at least want Sonic in there.
The first game and Match of the Millennium are among the best pocket games ever made. They have aged very, very well.
My favorite NGPC game, much more balanced then the first and no more overpowered cards. Most text heavy Japanese game I finished with enjoying it.
They need to make a sequel to Match of the Millennium, I would love that. Just add 18 more characters from Capcom and SNK to the already large one from the first game plus some new modes and bonus contents and I will buy it. Either that or just give me SvC: SNK vs. Capcom Chaos. Still odd how HAMSTER had not gotten to that game yet, heck even M2 didn't release that NeoGeo classic for Wii Virtual Console at all.
@Bass_X0 is the DS game bad? I played it and I didn’t have any problems with it. :/
I didn’t know the second game was Japan exclusive. I say bring it out of Japan. 👍🏾
Hoping they got this included in the upcoming NGPC Volume 2 collection.
@Greatluigi It’s not as good as the NGPC games.
