The SNK VS. Series is a collection of video games by either
Capcom or SNK in which characters that appear in
games created by both of these two companies appear. The "VS. Series" terminology originates from the fact that many of these
games (but not all) are fighting games, while "SNK" is added to distinguish itself from Capcom's other VS. Series with Marvel Comics.
As a rule, games in this series either contain "SNK Vs. Capcom" or "Capcom Vs. SNK", the first company denoting the company
behind the game's publication. Games in this series appear for various platforms, including the Sony Playstation, Nintendo Gamecube,
Microsoft Xbox, Neo-Geo Pocket, and Sega Dreamcast.
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
period. Readers had misread the cover, which said "KOF vs SF", to mean that there was a fighting game that would pit characters
from Street Fighter and The King of Fighters.
