What's an SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighter fanboy to do? Previews and reviews for the NGPC classic's DS revival haven't been kind, calling out its flawed AI and monotonous story mode. The title's lack of online support is upsetting enough, but it doesn't even allow for download play with local matches, dropping your chances of finding another person to play against to a multiple of zero.ASCIIMATTER's Card Fighter's Project brings the series back to its original mechanics and adds a whole new realm of accessibility that you just can't get from a video game. Dueling with a friend will be as easy as printing out the project's mocked up set of cards and reading the posted rules. Each card is fashioned after its NGPC counterpart, mirroring SvC: Card Fighters' Clash's super deformed artwork.
There are still a great deal of cards left to be converted, and ASCIIMATTER predicts that he won't be able to finish all of them until late Summer. Unlike SNK Playmore's DS release, however, we expect the Card Fighter Project's completion to actually be worth the wait.

With the steady coverage that SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters has received, as well as deserved, we cannot believe it's taken this long for us to find out that a few of the fine folk from our absolute favorite DS game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, are to be featured in the game.
The kind and generous folk at Famitsu have extended some wonderful coverage for the upcoming Capcom Vs. SNK Cardfighters DS (upcoming for the Japanese, unconfirmed for us) to the effect of posting a plethora of screenshots and art from the game. The gameplay will rely heavily on the use of the stylus, allowing players to select and play cards a lot faster than without, which on the whole should help the game retain a fluid play style. The piece also goes on to explain that friends can trade cards wirelessly or even battle for a card from the opposition, which they would place on the betting block prior to the start of the battle.
