SNK Gals' Fighters is a 2-dimensional 1-on-1 versus fighting game which appeared on the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 2000. The game was ported to the Nintendo Switch in the eShop on April 29, 2020, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Neo Geo system.
Gameplay
Gals' Fighters features female characters from various SNK franchises, where the characters compete in the aptly named 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 other NGPC fighting games, such as King of Fighters R-1 and R-2, although slightly faster, and with 1-on-1 matches. It also features items that a player can equip to influence the matches; many of the items, however, have no effect on the gameplay.

Reception
Game Informer gave the Neo Geo Pocket version an overall score of 7.5 out of 10 praising the game of being a solid fighter in the Neo Geo collection and the added feature of winning and losing items and giving the characters different abilities, although giving criticism to the game as being too easy even when set on the hardest difficulty concluding “good game, but inferior when stacked up against the recently released Match the Millennium.”[1]
