It's got the collecting aspect going for it like Pokemon does, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. You're vying for the top spot of becoming the card champion of SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters, but you must start from humble beginnings in either the Joy Joy Kid or the Lost World, and you go around challenging a total of 22 different characters around the Neo Geo and Capcom stores to win new cards, because it uses a ante system (don't worry, you lose no cards if you lose). There are 300 cards, 5 (or 6?) of which are unique to each different version, and 2 cards attainable only from Vs. battle with a friend, and thousands of combinations in which you can build your decks. Fantastic game, it's got a really good RPG feeling to it.
