In a new interview at Siliconera, SNK producer Adam Laatz chimed in on the release of SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium on Switch! Its release on Switch preserves the game on newer hardware whereas the initial release happened more than 20 years ago on the NeoGeo Pocket Color. When asked about challenges with a port like this and third parties, Laatz had an interesting statement regarding SNK’s relationship with Capcom and the future. Check out the response below:
While it can be a challenge licensing games and working with third parties at times, we’re very grateful that our good friends over at Capcom helped us make porting this title a reality. Much as the spirit of these collaborative titles had back in the day in bringing both companies and players together in a sense, we hope that re-releasing this SvC title after so many years will serve as an opportunity for more releases to come in the future!
We really hope that the classic Capcom vs SNK games get re-released on Switch and other platforms someday soon! In the meantime, stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news and support us on Patreon!
