The SNK vs. series is a collection of video games by either Capcom or SNK featuring characters that appear in games created by both of these two companies. 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.

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. 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. Because of this uproar, Capcom and SNK supposedly signed a deal that would allow them to produce only two fighting games concerning both franchises in 1999 (the Card Fighters series [see below] were not fighting games and therefore were exempt from the rule). It is highly suggested that SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom was only made in order to fulfill the contract obligations that SNK made prior to the company filing bankruptcy and their eventual closing in 2000. Also, if one company was the main creator of one game, the distributing company would gain the profits and not the company that licensed the characters for use (although SNK gave the rights to use the SNK characters to Capcom for the first Capcom vs. SNK game, SNK didn't profit from the game, which didn't help their financial problems). There was interviews with SNK that it would be possible to renew their contract with Capcom to make new Vs. Capcom games[1], but in a recent interview, both company stated (especially Capcom) that they would not do any collaboration of the two company thus, SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters DS will probably be the last cross-over game from both Capcom and SNK.[2] A video game magazine is a magazine that talks about video games on PC, other computers or video game consoles. ...
