Wow, this is ironic. I just got Capcom Vs. SNK.

This is fucking weird. I just bought Capcom Vs. SNK2: EO for Xbox from a used movie store. It's an *amazing* game that brings back memories of all the SNK characters of yore.

I'm so into SNK now that I'm kind of becoming a collector *sigh*. Yes I know, how American of me, collect and buy and stock up, but I have so much fun with the SNK characters and reminiscing. In fact, I found the original game artwork pulled from a dedicated POW machine on eBay in an auction. I may buy it. It includes the complete control panel, monitor bezel, and marquee, all in great condition.

Anyway, sorry to ramble, I'm just totally into SNK, and this article was excellent.
