10 Best Video Games Of January 2022 (According To Critics)
3. SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash (Switch)
This card fighting game was originally released in 1999 for the Neo Geo pocket color and in January 2022 the classic game was released for Nintendo Switch.
The original release was split into two separate experiences, with unique cards available in each version but this Switch port combines the two games into one, allowing you to collect all the 300 cards without the need to purchase two titles. This is something that could be done for remasters or remakes of dual releases in the future, with Pokemon still a major proponent of the dual release model.
With many of our favorite, iconic characters from both SNK and Capcom included and the ability to trade and battle across games, this proves to be the definitive SNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash experience. We can also switch between the English and Japanese versions of the game with the two localizations having their own save files.
The game is a steal at $8, whether you are a fan of the original or intrigued by the look of this ambitious card fighting crossover.
Critics seemed to love the new features enhancement to the original experience, with an 85 rating on Metacritic at the time of writing.
