SNK Gals' Fighters

SNK Gals' Fighters is a 2-dimensional 1-on-1 versus fighting game which appeared on the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 2000. It featured female characters from various SNK franchises, where the characters compete in the aptly-named The Queen of Fighters tournament, organized by a mysterious "Miss X", with whoever being able to defeat "Miss X" (in reality, Iori Yagami dressed as a woman) being given the K' Talisman, which grants any wish. The characters sprites were drawn in the same anime super deformed style as other fighters on the system.

The game plays similar to similar games, KOF R-1 and KOF R-2, although slightly faster, and with 1-on-1 matches instead. It also features items that a player can equip to influence the matches. Many of the items however have no effect on the gameplay.

By this time the popularity of the Neo Geo Pocket Color was already in decline and SNK contemplating its withdrawal from shelves outside Japan. The game's fairly narrow focus (It was geared towards girls with perhaps a fleeting interest in the complexities of other 2D fighting games, SNK's various offerings chief among them) conspired to lend it an equally narrow appeal. It was therefore not a success for the company in the vein of SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, released at around the same time.

The game is usually not prominent in discussion, and therefore a consensus view on its merits and demerits is difficult to obtain. Although no plans have been made for an arcade conversion, developers consider it a possible investment in the future. A simplified mobile version was made available in 2007.
