SNK Gals' Fighters
Encyclopedia
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.
